The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P outshines the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" for general use mainly because it boasts a significantly more powerful CPU and a larger amount of RAM, contributing to a much smoother and faster performance; additionally, it has a high-quality screen, although it's less portable and has a shorter battery life. The Cloudbook, while very portable and enjoying a longer battery life, is held back by a weaker CPU and minimal RAM, which impacts its ability to handle multiple or demanding tasks, and it suffers from lower quality speakers and build quality, making the overall experience less satisfactory for general use.

"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."
