Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE AERO 17

Strengths

The display is absolutely gorgeous, I think it's one of the main highlights of this laptop. The colors are just beautiful, its color accurate if you're a content creator, colorist or if you're photographer this is what you should be looking into.
The performance differences or the performance improvements are respectable, I mean if I were to be completely transparent if you're someone who's using a program that takes advantage of multi-core workload you will notice a difference with that extra four threads
The RTX 2070 super max Q is noticeably faster than the non-super variant and it almost reaches RTX 2080 max Q levels, gaming performance on the other hand was outstanding.
Temperatures are really good and I expected that for a 17 inch notebook, so on the CPU it initially spikes to ATC when clock speeds boost to 4.8 gigahertz but over time it averages to about 63 C
The acoustic performance on the Aero series was actually pretty impressive now during idle mind you the system is pretty much dead silent
DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere results are respectable, I think this might be an optimization thing but if you really think about it it's the same architectures

Weaknesses

I wouldn't spend twenty eight hundred dollars on this laptop because there are far more negatives with this laptop then the pros I talked about earlier
The design is way too sharp super uncomfortable to type on or just generally use, I just feel like GIGABYTE should refine the design a little bit but they didn't do that
The trackpad is really really bad, I really wished if they were able to offer something like the Blades here is able to offer with a glass surface but that's not the case especially since you're spending this kind of money
The webcam worst possible location, I mean it's just pointless I wouldn't even use it
GIGABYTE went with USB 3.0 gen one instead of gen 2, it's really weird to see them go with an outdated spec even though you can pick up a nine processor on an older laptop with the updated specs so that's really weird
The coil one issue I talked about earlier is something to be aware of doing idle and heavy load scenarios

Dell Inspiron 17 7706

Strengths

The laptop's Intel 11th generation i7 core processor (1165G7) performs well in Nova benchmark tests, achieving a score of 1948 and a average CPU score of 1211.
Thermal management is effective, with the fan kicking in to release excess heat and keeping the temperature under control.
The laptop can handle video editing software rendering without significant issues or overheating.
It has a good performance profile, with temperatures fluctuating between 60s to 100 degrees Celsius, but returning to manageable levels when not under load.
The laptop's cooling system is effective in exhausting heat, keeping the surface temperature at a comfortable level.

Weaknesses

There were some anomalous benchmark results, possibly due to software issues or external factors.
The laptop can become quite hot when performing demanding tasks like video editing, with temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees Celsius.
It was noted that the surface temperature of the laptop body is not reflective of the internal processor temperature, which can get very high.
There were instances where the temperature fluctuated rapidly between 90s and 60s, possibly due to the fan struggling to keep up with heat dissipation.
While it performed well in general, there was some inconsistency in benchmark scores, possibly due to factors like software issues or usage patterns.
