The Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a slightly lower price, higher battery capacity, and higher refresh rate, making it ideal for intensive gaming and tasks that require a high-performance display. The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro has a higher screen resolution aspect ratio, potentially providing a better browsing experience and more screen real estate for productivity tasks. However, the Legion 5 Pro has a significantly shorter battery life, affecting its portability. Both laptops offer similar storage, RAM, and powerful GPUs suitable for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks, but your choice may lean towards the Aorus 15X if battery life and gaming are priorities or the Legion 5 Pro for a more productivity-oriented taller display.

Tom's Hardware
Brandon Hill | February 2023
"The Gigabyte Aorus 15X is a strong showing of Raptor Lake and RTX 4000 series. While the Aorus had trouble keeping up in older games like Grand Theft Auto V, it nudged past the competition in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It also flexed its next-generation muscle in Far Cry 6 and Borderlands 3. While we were impressed with the overall build quality and design of the Aorus 15X, the keyboard lacked good tactile feedback. The display performed well in real-world testing despite its on-paper shortcoming with brightness, but the speakers are lackluster at best."

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
