The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is a solid choice for those who prioritize performance in gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks, thanks to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU and ample 32GB of RAM. It also offers a good balance of portability and battery life for its performance class, making it suitable for users who need to work on the go. However, its screen, while decent, isn't as advanced as the Lenovo's, and it lacks the touchscreen capability.
On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is an excellent option for users seeking a versatile, high-quality machine with a superior Mini LED display that boasts touchscreen functionality and higher resolution, making it ideal for general use and creative work that benefits from a vibrant and accurate color representation. Its slim design and long battery life enhance its portability, and it comes with the latest Windows 11 Home operating system. However, its performance in intensive tasks like gaming and engineering may not match that of the Aorus 15P due to its less powerful RTX 4050 GPU and 16GB of RAM.
In summary, if you need top-tier performance for demanding tasks and gaming, the Aorus 15P is the way to go, but for a more well-rounded experience with a focus on display quality, portability, and general use, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i would be the better choice. Give Feedback

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 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."
