The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is often less expensive than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and provides a superior display with higher resolution and touchscreen capability, which may be useful for design tasks or media consumption. It also features a backlit keyboard and additional Thunderbolt ports. However, it is heavier, which impacts portability and has a shorter battery life, making it less ideal for extended use on the go. If you prioritize gaming or need a laptop with a longer battery life and slightly better portability, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, with a more powerful main processor, could be more suitable despite its higher cost and lower screen resolution. Both have similar storage and RAM, making them well-suited for intensive tasks like 3D rendering and engineering work. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers better general use thanks to its high-powered processor and a high-resolution OLED touchscreen, making for an extremely clear and vibrant display, but its weight and battery life limit its portability. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while lighter and geared with a solid processor and graphics unit common in gaming laptops, has a lower-resolution non-touch screen and shorter battery life, which is less optimal for prolonged and diverse use cases.

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
"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."
