The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is more wallet-friendly than the MSI Titan GT77 and offers strong performance, particularly suitable for general use and gaming. It's lighter and slightly more portable, although both are heavy. The Aorus has a high refresh rate screen that's great for fast-paced games but has a lower screen resolution and color coverage compared to the MSI. In contrast, the MSI Titan GT77 provides top-tier performance for the most demanding tasks including intensive engineering applications, 3D, and machine learning work. It has a higher-resolution display that offers superior color accuracy and contrast, which is excellent for creative professionals. However, this comes with a significant increase in price and weight, making it less ideal for frequent travel. Both laptops have similar battery life and offer a variety of ports, but the Titan’s larger screen and more powerful specs might shorten battery life during heavy use. Give Feedback

"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 MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V is the utimate gaming laptop with RTX 4090 & Core i9-13950HX. The new MSI Titan GT77 will most likely only reach a very small group of users due to the high price, but it is still an impressive showcase of what is possible. The high-end gamer combines the best components you can currently get in almost every regard and it is a very good overall package, which does not have to hide behind full-fledged desktop systems."
