The Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers more power for tasks such as 3D rendering and machine learning, thanks to its more robust graphics card and processor combo, and it comes with double the RAM than the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16". However, it's also heavier, and it has a lower-resolution display which doesn't match the Legion's sharper, larger screen with better color accuracy and contrast, making the latter more enjoyable for media consumption and better suited for precision work in fields like design. The Aorus may be somewhat more expensive, while the Legion is somewhat less costly but still provides strong performance for general use and gaming. 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."

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
