The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, with its OLED touchscreen and higher resolution, provides a sharp, vibrant display ideal for creative professionals, although its weight and battery life make it less portable. Its powerful processor and GPU handle intensive tasks well, making it suitable for 3D work, engineering, and gaming. The Gigabyte Aorus 17G, with a larger screen size but lower resolution and with an IPS panel, offers a more traditional gaming laptop appearance and generally better keyboard quality. It's also powerful but more suited for gaming, with a slightly longer battery life than the ASUS but is heavier, reducing portability. If display quality for creative work is a priority and you need a second screen feature, the ASUS may be better, whereas for focused gaming and better portability, consider the Gigabyte.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 17G for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the Gigabyte Aorus 17G has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 boasts superior screens suitable for detailed work in engineering and design due to its high resolution and extensive color gamut coverage, ensuring precise colors and sharp images, but its gaming experience lacks due to a lower refresh rate. The Gigabyte Aorus 17G also provides good color accuracy and resolution for engineering tasks and general use but falls behind in gaming performance for the same reason. For gamers, the refresh rate is critical for fluid visuals, and both laptops provide less-than-ideal gaming experiences because they emphasize screen resolution and color fidelity over fast refresh rates.

Jared Newman | August 2021
"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 17G isn't among the top RTX 3080 laptops due to its relatively low TGP of 105 watts. The device's gaming performance is average for an RTX 3080. For maximum performance, competitors like the Lenovo Legion 7 or the Alienware m17 R4 are recommended With the Aorus 17G, Gigabyte delivers a well-rounded gaming laptop. However, the device generates a high noise level. Throttling is not an issue. The CPU and GPU can develop their performance uniformly. Nevertheless, the device produces a lot of noise under load - more than many competitors."
