The Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers high performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks, thanks to its powerful processor and GPU, and is slightly less expensive than the Razer Blade 14. However, it is bulkier and has a shorter battery life, so it isn't the best for on-the-go use. The Razer Blade 14, though more expensive, has a sharper and more colorful screen, is more portable with a longer battery life, making it a better choice for travel and general use. If you prioritize gaming and intensive work over portability and budget, the Aorus 15P is a solid choice, whereas the Blade 14 suits those who need a lighter, longer-lasting laptop for a variety of tasks, including gaming.

Mike Wobker | June 2021
"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."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
