Choosing the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 means accepting a lower price with less RAM and storage but gaining an OLED screen with higher resolution, which is excellent for general use and offers vibrant colors for watching videos and editing images. However, its performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks falls short compared to the Gigabyte Aorus 15P. The Aorus 15P, while more expensive, offers a substantial increase in power with more RAM, superior graphics, and a faster processor, making it better suited for gaming and performance-intensive tasks. However, it's less portable due to its larger size and heavier weight, and has shorter battery life. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use, though the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is somewhat better.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with its OLED screen and lighter weight, offers a vibrant display and better portability, but is limited by lesser RAM and a lower-tier CPU compared to the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, which, despite being heavier, provides superior performance and longevity for demanding tasks due to its higher RAM, more capable CPU, and larger battery capacity. The Vivobook's modest storage and battery life are suitable for everyday tasks, while the Aorus 15P's ample storage, quality keyboard, and efficient heat management make it a better fit for more intensive use, such as gaming or heavy multitasking.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's less powerful Intel Iris Xe graphics and lower screen refresh rate of 90Hz make it fair for gaming and 3D tasks, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P boasts a high-end Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU and a higher refresh rate of 300Hz, rendering it good for those applications. Additionally, the Aorus 15P is equipped with a stronger CPU which complements its superior gaming and 3D performance, although the Vivobook Pro 14 offers a higher-resolution OLED screen, which can provide better overall screen quality.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with its OLED screen, offers higher resolution and color accuracy, making it suitable for design work that demands visual precision, but its CPU and GPU are less powerful than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, which has a high-end CPU and a top-tier GPU, making it very capable for complex engineering tasks and 3D work. While the ASUS is more portable and could be preferable for on-the-go use, the Aorus 15P's superior internals may outweigh the tradeoff of added weight and reduced portability for users requiring intensive computational performance.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P for general use, and engineering and design, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen for gaming and AI, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's screen offers higher resolution and brightness, making it crisp and clear for everyday activities, whereas the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while still performing well, may not offer as vibrant a display. In engineering and design, the Vivobook stands out with a wider color range, supporting a broader spectrum of colors for detailed and color-critical work, while the Aorus 15P offers respectable color reproduction, but less precision for professional design tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications where fast motion is typical, the Aorus 15P's screen may disappoint with a lower refresh rate, leading to less smooth visuals compared to higher-end gaming laptops, just as the Vivobook Pro 14 may not deliver the fluidity desired by gamers.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
"The Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."
