The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is more affordable and offers good portability with its lighter weight and longer battery life, which makes it suitable for general use and carrying around. It has a touchscreen, a higher screen resolution, and a better port-to-weight ratio. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while more expensive, provides superior performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks due to its more powerful CPU and high-end graphics card. Moreover, it's better for gaming with hardware ray tracing and DLSS support, but it's heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435, with its fair screen resolution and brightness, suits general use and basic design tasks but lacks the advanced color gamut coverage required for precision in engineering and the high refresh rates needed to ensure smooth rendering in gaming and 3D applications. Conversely, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P provides a high-quality display with good color accuracy, making it suitable for engineering and design work, its screen, despite being good for general use, falls short for gaming due to its lower refresh rate. Therefore, for tasks demanding high-refresh visuals, like gaming or 3D modeling, neither laptop would be ideal, even though they can handle general computing and professional design tasks reasonably well.

How the Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15P compare to other laptops
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
"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."
