The Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers higher performance with a more powerful graphics card and processor, more RAM, and a larger storage capacity, which is better for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning. However, it has a shorter battery life and is heavier, making it less portable. On the other hand, the Lenovo LOQ 15 has a lower price, is lighter, and has longer battery life, making it a better choice for general use and easier to carry around, but it has less power for demanding applications. Choose the Gigabyte if you need top performance and don't mind the higher price and lesser portability, or the Lenovo if you prioritize affordability and portability but can compromise on power.

"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."

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
