If you need a powerful laptop for gaming or demanding tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers a robust dedicated graphics card and higher performance capabilities. It also has a larger screen and more storage capacity. However, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is significantly lighter and thinner, making it more portable and versatile, especially with its touchscreen and 2-in-1 convertible design. The ThinkPad has longer battery life, which is better for on-the-go use, but less performance power compared to the Aorus. Choose the Aorus for performance or the ThinkPad for portability and battery life. Give Feedback

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga compare to other laptops
"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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
