Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED

Strengths

The Aero 16 really left us impressed with its well-rounded package and Flawless user experience.
Gigabyte improved and fixed last year's model while slimming down the chassis and delivering a decent performance upgrade at the same time.
Battery life is excellent, easily outlasting most of the competition by quite a significant margin (7.5 hours for a Wi-Fi standard test).
The OLED screen is highly customizable with its color profiles to fit your workflow and the overall specs barely offer anything to complain about.
The laptop's noise levels are tolerable during different workloads, and Gigabyte's AI tag works fast and reliably to adjust power modes and fan curves accordingly.
Despite being a high-end premium notebook, the Aero 16 can deliver decent performance numbers for gaming as well.

Weaknesses

The speakers do not offer a sound experience fit for such a high-end premium notebook, which is quite a shame.
The price tag of €2,500 seems almost reasonable considering the laptop's target audience, but it might still be out of budget for some users.
The GPU performance in export tests was rather poor, suggesting a driver or Resolve problem at hand.
The difference between the 4070 and higher-end mobile chips is not earth-shattering, and one might expect more impressive numbers from the latter.
The laptop's weight is not mentioned explicitly, but it seems to be quite slim, which might make it uncomfortable for some users during long working sessions.
The RTX 370 TI and 3080TI equipped notebooks have similar performance numbers, making it hard to justify the upgrade to a more expensive model.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i

Strengths

The laptop has a powerful CPU, which provides great performance in gaming and other demanding tasks.
It has two RAM slots, allowing users to upgrade to 32 or 64GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, which is faster than some other gaming laptops.
The Legion Pro 7i has a choice of getting the boot 1TB SSD as either PCI4 or PCIe5, and another slot that supports PCIe4.
It has good ventilation, with actual real vents and not just faux ones like some other gaming laptops.
The laptop's performance is impressive, with Cyberpunk 2077 playing at ray tracing medium settings at native resolution and doing 80+ frames without frame generation.

Weaknesses

There isn't much information about the laptop's display or battery life in the text.
One of the M.2 SSD slots is only thick enough to accommodate a single-sided drive, which may limit upgrade options.
The Legion Pro 7i has a relatively thin spot for one of its SSDs, requiring a singlesided SSD that may have limited capacity options.
There isn't much discussion about the laptop's port selection or other features beyond gaming performance.
Some games like Monster Hunter Wild might require frame generation to run smoothly at high quality settings.
