The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is less expensive and more portable with good general use performance and an OLED display for vibrant colors, suitable for everyday tasks and entertainment. It's lighter with a longer battery life but it's less powerful in processing and graphics, limiting its use for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or engineering software. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H is more expensive, heavier, and less portable but offers significantly better performance with a high-end processor and advanced graphics card, making it more suitable for gaming, 3D modeling, machine learning tasks, and demanding engineering applications.

The Gigabyte Aorus 17H and ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 are both good for general use, though the Gigabyte Aorus 17H is somewhat better.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a high-resolution OLED screen desirable for vivid colors and sharp images, but its lower-tier CPU and smaller RAM make it less powerful for intensive tasks compared to the Gigabyte Aorus 17H, which boasts a high-performing CPU and double the RAM for better multitasking. While the Vivobook is lighter and offers better portability with longer battery life, the Aorus 17H's larger screen and dedicated graphics card provide a more immersive experience for demanding applications but at the cost of heavier weight and lower battery life.

The Gigabyte Aorus 17H is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good.
The Gigabyte Aorus 17H excels in engineering and design tasks thanks to its robust Intel i7 CPU, double the RAM, and a high-end Nvidia RTX GPU compared to the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's Intel i5 CPU and integrated graphics; plus, it has a larger screen though with lower resolution and color space coverage. However, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is lighter and offers greater portability with a superior OLED display, which offers higher pixel density and better brightness, but falls short on raw performance due to less powerful hardware.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 17H for general use, and engineering and design, while the Gigabyte Aorus 17H has a better screen for gaming and AI, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 shines due to its higher resolution and brightness, offering crisper visuals and more vibrant colors, which enhances everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos. In engineering and design, where accurate color reproduction is crucial, the Vivobook Pro's superior coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB ensures that the hues you see on screen are precise and consistent. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H, despite its shortcomings, could be preferred by some users for its potentially higher refresh rate, which leads to smoother motion and better responsiveness, although it may not match the color performance or resolution of the Vivobook Pro.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Gigabyte Aorus 17H 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."
"Overall though, it’s *lots of swearing* fast, seriously. For work, rendering, gaming, it doesn’t matter, this is a true weapon of performance that’s going to run rings around most high-end desktop systems. If you absolutely have to game at ultra-high refresh rates on the go (but within thinking distance of a plug socket), this is the ticket. I can’t see such an extreme being that appealing to everyone, but if you take your gaming seriously, or even professionally, there’s nothing else out there that comes close that you can still fit in your backpack and travel with."
