The Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R offers stronger general use and engineering performance and has a higher refresh rate display, which is good for fast-paced gaming, but it comes at a premium price and has a shorter battery life. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while less expensive, features a more powerful GPU and double the RAM, making it better suited for 3D rendering, machine learning, and other graphics-intensive tasks. However, its screen has a lower resolution and color coverage. For portability, neither stands out as particularly lightweight or offering extended battery life, but both have a robust build and adequate cooling systems. If budget is a concern and you need top-tier graphics processing, go for the Aorus 15P; if you prioritize display quality for gaming or tasks needing high screen refresh rates, consider the Mech-15 G3R.

Aaron Ritchie | September 2022
"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."

"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."
