The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 has a better screen than the Gigabyte G5 for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
When considering general use such as browsing or watching videos, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a higher resolution and brighter display, which makes for crisper and more vibrant visuals compared to the Gigabyte G5. For engineering and design work where precise color representation is crucial, the Zenbook Pro 15's wider color gamuts give better accuracy in color-sensitive tasks than the G5. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, neither laptop excels due to their lower refresh rates, but the Gigabyte G5's performance may be less optimal due to its inferior resolution and panel type compared to the Zenbook.

The Gigabyte G5 and ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 are both good for engineering and design.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 is well-suited for engineering and design due to its high-quality OLED screen and capable AMD Ryzen CPU and NVIDIA RTX GPU, supporting both intensive computational tasks and vibrant visuals, while the Gigabyte G5, with its more powerful NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU and newer Intel CPU, excels in demanding engineering simulations or design work but has an IPS screen which, while solid, doesn't match the OLED's color depth. Both laptops have ample RAM and storage for complex projects, but the ASUS offers a superior screen for color-critical work, whereas the Gigabyte leads in raw graphical processing power, making it potentially better for GPU-intensive tasks.

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."

"The Gigabyte G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
