Pros and Cons

Dell Precision 17 5770

Strengths

The combination of aluminum and carbon fiber has both looks and durability, making it a great design choice.
The laptop has four Thunderbolt 4 ports for strength in numbers.
The keyboard generally has large keys with good key travel and clicky feedback, and the pad is smooth and responsive.
The 4K UHD display offers excellent angles and a max brightness of 540 nits, making it suitable for working in bright conditions or outside.
The display shows full or near-full coverage of the sRGB, Adobe RGB, and DCI-P3 gamut, with excellent color accuracy results.
The device performs well among its workstation competitors due to the large performance increase from Tiger Lake to Elder Lake on the GPU end.

Weaknesses

There's no LAN port or any HDMI ports, just an SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The lack of a numpad might be a drawback for some users.
The RXT A2000 doesn't lead the performance charts, and the device's GPU maintains a clock speed of around 1600 MHz throughout stress tests.
The outside temperature maxes out at 49 degrees Celsius during stress testing, which is a bit high.
The laptop is rather expensive compared to its competitors.
During stress testing, the Core i7-12700H drops its clock speeds heavily in the later stages.

GIGABYTE AERO 16

Strengths

The new OLED model utilizing NVIDIA's RTX 40 series is a much better product than its predecessor, with a more pleasing design, improved port lineup, and enhanced performance.
The keyboard feels great to type on, with switches that are 1.5-1.7 millimeters but have enough force for comfortable typing.
The display is gorgeous, with deep blacks, perfect colors, and impeccable contrast ratios.
The laptop runs very cool, thanks to its improved heat management, which keeps the system temperature under control even during intense workloads.

Weaknesses

The battery life may be around 3-4 hours for true hardcore work, which might not be sufficient for some users.
The webcam is 1080P, but there's no high refresh rate option available, which could be a letdown for some creators who also game on the side.
The speakers are not great, being very flat and tinny, making it necessary to use headphones with this laptop.
The touchpad click is very audible and feels cheap, although it's glass and easy to use.
