Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE A5

Strengths

The XMG Apex 15 / Gigabyte A5 X1 is a decent gaming laptop with decent gaming performance, despite the RTX 3070 being close to 2080 Super Max-Q machines from last generation.
The 5900HX processor seems to be the reason it's doing so well in CPU and content creator workloads, making it a great option for those who need strong processing power.
The screen has great response time and ok color gamut and brightness, although my model did not have FreeSync.
The battery can be completely swapped out, which is a pretty uncommon feature these days.

Weaknesses

The build quality and materials aren't quite as nice as some of those more expensive options from larger brands, but that's partly why it's priced better - a compromise in terms of price.
Battery life wasn't great, although this may be improved with the RTX 3060 graphics or 6 core 5600H processor options.
The Clevo software and BIOS are pretty limited, not letting you control the chip properly, especially since the HX series is supposed to be unlocked.
Thermals weren't great, with CPU thermal throttling at 95 degrees Celsius even with the fan maxed out and a cooling pad.

Dell Vostro 15 7510

Strengths

The laptop looks super sleek with its all-aluminum design, weighing only 1.9 kilos and having a profile of 19 millimeters.
It passed 15 military-grade tests, showing great structural integrity.
The input devices are great, with two USB Type-A, HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 4 connector, and an SD card reader.
The laptop has two RAM SODIMM slots as well as 2 M.2 slots for storage, with one slot supporting 30mm drives and the other supporting 4th generation SSDs.
The display is a 1080p IPS panel with comfortable viewing angles, good contrast ratio, and excellent color coverage of 91% sRGB.
It's great to see that Dell went for 45 watts Tiger Lake processors for this device, suggesting something interesting going on with the cooling solution.

Weaknesses

The battery life is disappointing, lasting only six hours of web browsing or about seven hours of video playback.
The top configuration can get hot during gaming, with the fans being really noisy and the temperature of the keyboard exceeding 50 degrees Celsius.
The thin chassis can't cope well with the load during gaming, making it difficult to play resource-intensive games.
The insulation layer between the motherboard and the keyboard is an issue that Dell needs to address in future models.
The cooling solution could be improved, especially when playing demanding games.
The laptop's temperature regulation is not ideal, which might cause discomfort during extended use.
