The Eluktronics RP-15 is typically somewhat less expensive than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and comes with a mid-range price tag. The RP-15 is equipped with an AMD processor and an Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card, which perform well for both gaming and general use, and it comes with half the storage capacity and half the memory compared to the Aorus 15P. It has a higher resolution display which is superior for tasks that benefit from more screen detail, such as photo editing or consuming high-definition media, but its lower battery capacity means shorter usage times between charges. On the other hand, the Aorus 15P is priced in the upper midrange and boasts a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card, which makes it better suited for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. With an Intel processor, double the storage and memory of the RP-15, the Aorus 15P excels in performance but is also more expensive. It has a lower resolution but higher refresh rate display making it more suitable for fast-paced gaming where screen responsiveness is critical. Its larger battery offers longer untethered use, enhancing portability despite it being slightly lighter and with a heavier power brick. Each laptop offers robust performance and features like RGB backlit keyboards and multiple ports, including USB-C and HDMI. The RP-15 runs on Windows 11 Home and has a slightly better battery life for typical use, which could make it a better option for those who prioritize newer software and longer usage times. The choice between the two will depend on personal needs, such as budget constraints, the need for high-end gaming and performance capabilities, preference for higher screen resolution or refresh rate, and considerations regarding battery life and portability.

Hardware Canucks

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

NotebookCheck

Mike Wobker | June 2021
"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."
