For a balance of performance and value, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is a strong contender, offering a robust Intel i7 processor and an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU that excel in gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering tasks, with a 144Hz screen that's great for fast-paced motion. It's also more affordable than the Lenovo. However, if you prioritize cutting-edge technology and top-tier performance, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) with its latest Intel i9 chip and RTX 4080 graphics will deliver superior results, especially for demanding applications, and its higher resolution 16:10 display is ideal for professionals seeking more screen real estate. Keep in mind, the Lenovo is heavier and pricier, which may impact portability and budget considerations. Give Feedback

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."
