The Gigabyte Aorus 15X is designed for high performance with top-tier components, which makes it suitable for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. Its superior graphics and faster display will provide a more seamless and visually impressive experience. However, it's heavier and less portable than the Lenovo V15, and the higher price reflects its premium features. On the other hand, the Lenovo V15 is more affordable, offering decent performance for everyday tasks and business applications. It's lighter and easier to carry around, but it's not suited for intensive tasks due to its less powerful processor and graphics. If you need a laptop for general use and prioritize budget and portability, the Lenovo is a good choice, but if you're after power for specialized tasks and are willing to invest more, the Gigabyte is the way to go.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a screen with vibrant colors and sharp images suitable for everyday tasks and professional design work, but its lower refresh rate hinders the smooth visuals needed for high-speed gaming. The Lenovo V15's display, lacking in brightness and sharpness, falls short across all activities, which is more noticeable when fine detail and color accuracy are required for engineering and creative software. Both laptops may not satisfy gamers or 3D designers, as their screens don't deliver the fluid motion that high refresh rates provide, which is critical for immersive and responsive gameplay or smooth 3D rendering.

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."

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
