Pros and Cons

Asus ExpertBook P5

Strengths

The expert book P5's keyboard is well built with decent travel on HK strike
It has a physical IDing privacy Shadow, which I do like having rather than a digital or software one
The expert book P5 does rather well in GPU performance, making it suitable for calculations and work that involve leveraging the GPU
It has full Windows app compatibility, which is an advantage over co-pilot plus PCs running on arm

Weaknesses

The design of the ExpertBook P5 is not exactly fancy, as it's a business-centric model with an AI focus
The battery life of the ASUS X P5 is still quite disappointing, despite being decent for most purposes
It doesn't live up to ASUS's hefty battery life promises, which claimed up to 28 hours of battery life
While avoiding arm compatibility issues, it doesn't compete with the best co-pilot plus PCs running on arm in terms of battery life

Alienware x15 R2

Strengths

The gaming performance is absolutely amazing considering its size.
It's really thin and portable, making it easy to take anywhere.
The processor delivers consistent performance rather than having its clock speeds and power gradually drop in longer tests.
The RTX 3070 Ti runs along well at 105 watts at 1080p gaming on this laptop, with good numbers despite being CPU limited.
The cooling system is efficient, keeping the important areas cool even when running hot components.
It's a respectable price compared to its main rival, the Blade 15.

Alienware x15 R2

The Alienware X15 R2 is a sleek and powerful gaming laptop that packs a punch despite its slim design. With an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, it delivers impressive performance in both gaming and content creation tasks. However, its portability comes at the cost of battery life, and the trackpad could be larger. A respectable price point makes it a solid option for those seeking a high-performance laptop that can fit into a busy lifestyle.
