The Gigabyte Aorus 15P sports a more powerful graphics card, which can be advantageous for intensive gaming or 3D projects, and it comes with double the RAM of the Razer Blade 15, which is particularly helpful for demanding engineering tasks or multitasking. However, the Razer Blade 15 features a newer processor and a higher-resolution display, which could provide a sharper image and potentially better performance for general use. It's also thinner and lighter, making it more portable. Both laptops have similar storage and are in the upper midrange price bracket. Depending on your need for portability versus power for gaming or professional tasks, you can determine the most suitable option. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 15 has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15P for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15P offers a well-balanced display with decent resolution and brightness that satisfies everyday tasks and detail-oriented work in engineering and design thanks to its wide color gamut. However, for gaming and 3D applications, its slower refresh rate might not deliver the smooth visuals desired by enthusiasts. In contrast, the Razer Blade 15 provides similarly impressive resolution and color accuracy for both general and professional design use, while its gaming and 3D capabilities are limited by a refresh rate that is not optimized for the fast-paced action seen in many of today's games.

How the Gigabyte Aorus 15P and the Razer Blade 15 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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
