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GIGABYTE went with USB 3.0 gen one instead of gen 2, it's really weird to see them go with an outdated spec even though you can pick up a nine processor on an older laptop with the updated specs so that's really weird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 Latitude 14 5431

Strengths

The laptop focuses solely on performance, putting great effort into taking care of the Core i7-1270P.
The construction feels good to the touch, utilizing recycled plastics and carbon fiber which is better for the environment.
The keyboard lacks a numpad but is otherwise great for typing with long key travel and relatively clicky feedback.
The touchpad is accurate and responsive.
The laptop is packed with ports, including two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an optional smart card reader, and more.
The speakers provide decent quality audio with no major deviations across all frequencies.
The laptop is efficient, lasting for 13 hours of web browsing or 9 hours and 5 minutes of video playback.

Weaknesses

The display doesn't have the best color and brightness, but can be upgraded to other versions suitable for Creator work.
The keyboard lacks a numpad, which might be inconvenient for some users.
The touchpad is not the biggest we've seen.
The base heats up only up to 42 degrees Celsius during intense use.
There's only one m.2 slot for generation for SSDs, limiting upgrade options.
The display profiles provided by our lab can be helpful, but might not be suitable for all users or workloads.
The webcam resolution is limited to 720p, which might be a drawback for some.
