The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is less expensive, lighter, and offers a higher resolution OLED touchscreen, which is great for general use and offers vibrant colors for media consumption. It would suit you if portability and screen quality for everyday tasks are priorities. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is more expensive but comes with a far more powerful GPU and CPU, larger storage, and more memory, making it ideal for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks. The Aorus is heavier and has a lower resolution non-touch IPS display, making it less portable and less suited for tasks where color accuracy is crucial. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED 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.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED boasts an OLED display which offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it excellent for tasks that require color accuracy such as engineering and design; however, its typical refresh rate is less ideal for gaming where fast refresh rates are crucial. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while having a good quality display, may not match the color reproduction of the ASUS' OLED for engineering tasks but is still adequately sharp and bright for general use. Neither laptop's screen is optimized for gaming or 3D work due to their lower refresh rates compared to dedicated gaming laptops.

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"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 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."
