If you are looking for a more budget-friendly laptop with decent performance for general use, the Dell Latitude 5530 may suit your needs. However, the Gigabyte Aorus 15, while more expensive, provides a significant performance boost for 3D tasks, machine learning, and gaming, owing to its superior CPU and GPU. Additionally, the Aorus 15 has a higher resolution display, which is better for tasks where image quality is important, but it also means the Aorus is heavier and could be less comfortable to carry around.

Sascha Mölck | December 2022
"The Gigabyte Aorus 15 is a power-hungry gaming beast. The Aorus 15 is designed to run games at QHD and high to max settings. But it also cuts a good figure in other demanding applications such as video editing and rendering. This is made possible by the Core i7 12700H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop inside the machine. A lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB) allows for short loading times."
