Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE A7

Strengths

The Gigabyte A7x1 packs an NVIDIA RTX 3070 GPU combined with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, making it one of the best gaming notebooks on the market.
The device has some incredible power and some of the best cooling I've seen in a Windows notebook.
The display is a 17.3-inch HD 144Hz panel, great for gaming, with a good selection of ports.
The notebook's bulkiness allows for better airflow and cooling system performance.
The removable battery is convenient and easy to replace without tools needed.
The Wind Force cooling system keeps the device cool during intense gaming sessions.
The upgradable slots make this a long-term investment, allowing users to upgrade their storage and RAM as needed.

Weaknesses

The notebook's design is basic, with a plain black plastic shell.
The battery life is relatively short, lasting around 4 hours with brightness on 40%.
Charging the battery takes longer than built-in batteries.
The display has poor viewing angles and low brightness (measured at 320 nits).
It's an RGB panel, which may not be ideal for photo editing or video production (has only 90 sRGB coverage).
The speakers can get loud during gaming sessions and might be distracting.
The notebook gets quite warm during heavy use, reaching temperatures of up to 99°C (212°F) internally.

HP ZBook Power G7

Strengths

Delicious display: The IPS Full HD 400 nits display panel is the peak of the bunch, gorgeous vivid colors, excellent viewing angles, and a bright screen for outdoor usage.
Incredible value for price: Of £1229 or $1680 plus taxes, the ZBook Power G7 has everything you need and more top-end hardware specs to get through heavy tasks and great upgrade options.
Pay the extra £80 for the Quattro T1000 over the much weaker Quattro P620 GPU: This compact dimensions of the ZBook Power G7 strikes a good balance in fairly slim workstation dimensions but keeps thermals in check with the power-consuming CPU and GPU specs.
Excellent battery life: Battery life is solid at around 8 to 9 hours with general usage like web surfing, YouTube music streaming, Google Docs, heavy demanding CAD and 3D work.
Easy upgrade options: Two SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and two M.2 NVMe drives allowing you to easily and cheaply upgrade when you need it.
Enterprise level build with a three-year warranty

Weaknesses

No Quattro RTX options: If you need more graphical power, the Power G7 is not available with the high-performance Quattro RTX GPUs but is instead limited to the Quattro T2000, T1000, or P620 GPUs.
Average audio quality
Limited Thunderbolt 3 port: HP have limited the Power G7 with one Thunderbolt 3 port whereas it's more expensive cousins, the Fury Studio and Create G7, have two Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Poor webcam quality
Noisy speakers if you're trying to listen to a tutorial video or music streaming
Limited GPU options compared to competitors
