The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15 has a better screen for software development.
When selecting a laptop for general use, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED stands out with its high-resolution, bright display, and OLED technology, known for vibrant colors and deep blacks, making for a pleasant viewing experience for everyday tasks. For engineering and design, the same OLED screen offers wide color gamuts that ensure accurate color reproduction, crucial for detailed design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, despite its resolution and panel quality, the Zenbook's refresh rate may not be high enough to match the fast-paced, smooth visuals required for optimal gameplay, where the Gigabyte Aorus 15 with a higher refresh rate would be more suitable.

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."

"The Gigabyte Aorus 15 is a power-hungry gaming beast. The Aorus 15 is designed to run games at QHD and high to max settings. But it also cuts a good figure in other demanding applications such as video editing and rendering. This is made possible by the Core i7 12700H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop inside the machine. A lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB) allows for short loading times."
