The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is equipped with an OLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate that is suitable for gaming and 3D applications, but it is powered by an integrated Intel GPU which is less capable compared to dedicated gaming GPUs. Conversely, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P includes a high-end Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU and an exceptional 300 Hz refresh rate IPS screen, making it better suited for high-performance gaming and 3D tasks, despite having a lower screen quality overall.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts a high-resolution display with exceptional brightness and panel technology that renders sharp, vibrant visuals, making it excellent for everyday tasks and precision work required in engineering and design, thanks to its expansive color gamut coverage. Conversely, for gaming and 3D applications, the ZenBook's screen falls short due to a lower refresh rate, which can result in less fluid motion and slower response times. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P also provides a quality display for general and design use but lacks the superior color range of the ZenBook; however, like the ZenBook, it is not ideal for gaming and 3D because of a less than optimal refresh rate.

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."
"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."
