If you prioritize gaming or demanding tasks such as 3D modeling or video editing, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P, despite its higher price, may justify the cost with better performance and a stronger graphics card. But if you prefer something that's easier to carry around, offers longer battery life, and is sufficient for everyday use like web browsing, document editing, and media consumption, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x stands out. On the downside, the ThinkBook might not handle intensive applications as well as the Aorus, which could be a limiting factor if your needs change over time. Give Feedback

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."
