Dell XPS 13 vs Gigabyte Aorus 15P

The Dell XPS 13 is less suited for gaming and 3D applications because it has a lower-performing integrated graphics processor and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate, whereas the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is designed with a high-performance dedicated Nvidia graphics card and a much higher 300Hz refresh rate which greatly enhances gaming and 3D performance.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P excels in engineering and design tasks due to its more powerful CPU and GPU combination, as well as having double the RAM of the Dell XPS 13, which improves its ability to handle intensive workloads and multitasking; however, the Dell offers a higher-resolution screen and greater portability thanks to its smaller size and lighter weight.

For general use, the Dell XPS 13 offers a high-resolution display with great brightness and color clarity, making documents and web browsing look sharp and vivid, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P also provides a clear and bright screen suitable for everyday tasks. In engineering and design, both laptops provide wide color gamuts ensuring that professionals see accurate colors for their projects, though the Aorus 15P might have a slight edge for high-end design work due to typically better hardware support for graphics-intensive tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both models fall short due to their limited refresh rates, which could lead to less fluid motion and slower response times in fast-paced games and simulations.

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