Pros and Cons

Alienware m15 R7

Strengths

The Alienware M15 R7 features Intel's latest 12th gen processors, which provide excellent performance.
It has 64 gigs of 4800 megahertz DDR5 RAM, a powerful combination for gaming and heavy workloads.
The laptop's 3070 TI GPU provides excellent scores in benchmarking tests like 3D Mark Time Spy and Fire Strike Extreme.
The keyboard is RGB backlit with variable brightness and has a comfortable 1.8mm key travel, making it ideal for gaming or typing.
The laptop features stereo speakers that work well for calls and occasional YouTube videos, although they lack bass in gaming scenarios.
The Alien Command Center provides numerous settings for performance and power consumption, as well as overclocking options.

Weaknesses

The laptop's body is very dark but not quite black, which may not appeal to those who prefer a more classic look.
The keyboard's RGB backlight can be distracting in bright environments, although it can be turned off or adjusted for brightness.
The trackpad appears small compared to other laptops, although it tracked gestures accurately in Windows 11.
The webcam is only 720p resolution and may not be ideal for video conferencing or streaming due to its subpar quality.
Thermal throttling occurs when the CPU reaches high temperatures during stress tests, potentially affecting performance in heavy workloads.
The underside of the laptop gets too hot to use on a lap and the area above the keyboard is also quite warm.

AORUS 15P

Strengths

The best value, best bang for buck, and best no-nonsense gaming laptop in my opinion.
Has a great display with low response time, super buttery feeling, and high brightness (326 nits).
CPU can run at almost 4 gigahertz in CPU-intensive games like Battlefield.
Build quality is solid and robust, with no hotspots or noise issues.

Weaknesses

Keyboard trackpad could be better, especially in low-light conditions where secondary keys are hard to see.
Limited upgradability options for the GPU (only standard options available).
Speakers are middle of the road and not particularly remarkable.
Fan can get loud when under heavy load, but is still quieter than many other gaming laptops.
