If portability and battery life are important to you, neither the Gigabyte Aorus 15P nor the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro might be ideal, as they are both relatively heavy and don't offer long-lasting batteries, but between the two, the Lenovo has a slightly longer battery life but weighs more than the Gigabyte. For performance-intensive tasks such as engineering, 3D rendering, or machine learning, both laptops are well suited, with the Gigabyte offering better general-use performance and the Lenovo excelling in tasks benefiting from its higher-resolution display. The Lenovo's screen is larger with a higher resolution, which is better for productivity and multimedia consumption, while the Gigabyte has a higher refresh rate, which can be advantageous for gaming. The Gigabyte has more RAM, which is beneficial for multitasking and demanding applications, but the Lenovo has a more modern processor. In terms of design aesthetics, the Gigabyte leans more towards a gaming look, while the Lenovo has a more understated appearance. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, while offering a high-quality GPU and screen refresh rate suited for smooth gaming and 3D rendering, has a less powerful CPU and screen quality compared to the Lenovo Legion Pro 5; the Legion Pro 5 provides even better gaming and 3D performance due to its superior GPU and higher screen refresh rate that make the visuals more fluid and detailed, despite costing more.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 has a better screen for general use, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use and engineering, both the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and Lenovo Legion Pro 5 offer high resolution and brightness, with the Lenovo generally having a slight edge, and both support wide color gamuts that benefit professional design by offering more accurate color representation. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates, which would limit smoothness and responsiveness in gaming scenarios. The Lenovo's superior screen traits do not compensate for the lower refresh rate in gaming contexts, where a high refresh rate is crucial for optimal experience.

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."

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
