The Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers superior performance for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, complemented by a high-end GPU, making it well-suited for gaming. However, it is heavier and pricier, with lower battery life, compromising portability. On the other hand, the Lenovo Flex 5 14 is more affordable and portable with longer battery life and a touchscreen, ideal for general use and flexibility, but it lacks the power for demanding software applications and gaming. If performance in demanding tasks and gaming is paramount, the Aorus 15P is recommended; for everyday use with the benefit of portability and cost savings, the Flex 5 is a better fit. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the Lenovo Flex 5 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is favored for general use and engineering due to its high-resolution display that offers sharp images, and a bright screen ensuring visibility in various lighting conditions, along with a wide color gamut for accuracy in color-intensive tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications, its lower refresh rate might not deliver as smooth visuals as gaming-dedicated screens, making fast-paced action less fluid. In contrast, the Lenovo Flex 5 14 provides an adequate resolution and brightness for everyday tasks and engineering, but it falls short in both color range for design precision and refresh rate for gaming, making it less suited for specialized color work and fast-paced gaming scenarios.

"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."

"The highlight of the latest IdeaPad Flex 5 14 is clearly its AMD CPU. The octa-core Ryzen 7 5700U is insanely fast even when compared to the best Tiger Lake Ultrabooks in the market or even Core H CPUs in many gaming laptops. It's a lot of raw processing power for what is supposed to be a budget 14-inch convertible. If your daily workloads can benefit from extra multi-thread CPU performance, then look no further than the inexpensive AMD-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14. For regular on-the-road browsing or video streaming, however, a slimmer and lighter 10th gen Core Yoga, Spectre, or XPS would be a more balanced option."
