Dell Inspiron 16 5620 vs Gigabyte Aorus 17H

The Gigabyte Aorus 17H outshines the Dell Inspiron 16 5620 in gaming and 3D performance primarily due to its more powerful Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics card and much higher screen refresh rate, offering smoother visuals and better handling of fast-paced scenes. While both laptops have quality IPS displays, the Aorus's superior GPU and refresh rate make it better suited for demanding gaming and 3D applications, despite usually being at a higher price point and slightly less portable due to its size and weight.

The Dell Inspiron 16 5620 is considered good for engineering and design due to its adequate CPU, decent screen quality, and a balance between portability and performance features for entry-level tasks. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H is considered very good for such tasks because it boasts a much more powerful CPU and GPU, a larger and higher-quality screen, and more memory and storage, albeit at the cost of reduced portability and potentially higher operating noise.

For general use, the Dell Inspiron 16 5620's screen is adequate, as it provides a satisfactory resolution and brightness, but the Gigabyte Aorus 17H stands out with its higher resolution and brightness, making it very good for everyday tasks like web browsing and video streaming. The Aorus 17H also has better color accuracy, displaying a wider range of colors which is key for engineering and design tasks; however, for the same tasks, the Inspiron's color representation is decent but not as vibrant or precise. When it comes to 3D, both laptops fall short because they lack high refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth motion and rendering, but their resolution and panel types are moderately sufficient for less demanding 3D applications.

Battery life estimate is based on a mix of common use patterns. More portable and higher performing laptops tend to have less battery life.

The Dell Inspiron 16 5620 offers a good balance for general use with moderate performance from its CPU and integrated graphics, sufficient RAM and storage for everyday tasks, a decent quality IPS screen with higher resolution for sharper text and images, all in a lighter, thinner form factor with silent operation that contributes to better portability and longer battery life.
