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GIGABYTE went with USB 3.0 gen one instead of gen 2, it's really weird to see them go with an outdated spec even though you can pick up a nine processor on an older laptop with the updated specs so that's really weird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 16 7640

Strengths

The Dell Latitude 16 7640 has a beautiful full HD screen.
The Intel Core i5 13th gen processor provides good performance.
Upgrading or repairing the laptop is relatively easy, with many parts accessible without specialized tools.
The battery can be easily replaced if needed.
Speakers can be replaced if sound quality is bad.
Upgrading the SSD card is straightforward.

Weaknesses

The Wi-Fi card is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced, only the whole motherboard can be swapped out.
Memory is soldered, so upgrading RAM is not possible.
Replacing the whole motherboard may be necessary if the Wi-Fi doesn't work.
Cooling issues can be caused by a faulty fan or heat sink, which can be tricky to resolve.
The touchpad and keyboard are connected to the motherboard and can only be replaced as a whole unit.
The power button is also a potential point of failure that may need to be replaced.
