Q: Am I able to add an additional SSD and extra RAM?
A: Storage (SSD): The system provides two M.2 slots (one PCIe Gen4x4 and one PCIe Gen4x2) supporting up to 4TB PCIe NVMe™ M.2 SSDs. This allows you to add an additional SSD for expanded storage alongside the factory-installed drive. System Memory (RAM): The AERO X16 comes with 32GB DDR5 pre-installed and supports expansion up to 64GB DDR5 5600MHz via two SO-DIMM sockets. You can upgrade by replacing the existing modules or installing higher-capacity ones.
A: I'd give it a good 6-7 ish hours if you're on energy saver mode and power efficiency, and if you're not using heavy programs. I currently use mine for drawing, not gaming, so I could not give an estimate for how long it would be functioning at a high level for gaming. Here's my current battery and how long it'll last, comparing when I have nothing open vs when I have my drawing program open.
Q: Does it have windows hello?
A: Yep
Q: Can this support Fusion360° CAD software
A: undefined
Q: Can the ram be upgraded from 32 to 64 in the future ? Is this a 2025 model?
A: Yes, RAM is upgradable to 64GB. (Up to 64GB DDR5 5600MHz* 2x SO-DIMM sockets for expansion) GIGABYTE AERO X16 RTX 5060 is a 2025 model.

I’ve been using the Gigabyte AERO X16 with the RTX 5060 for about a week now, and it’s been an outstanding all-around machine. As a graphic designer and video editor, I really appreciate the bright 16″ 2560×1600 display—it’s sharp, color-accurate, and smooth at 165 Hz. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 CPU and RTX 5060 combo handle design apps, 4K video editing, and moderate gaming without breaking a sweat. What impressed me most is how lightweight it feels for a 16″ laptop—easy to carry between home and work. The cooling system keeps performance steady (though it can get a bit loud under heavy load), and the build quality feels premium. Battery life isn’t exceptional, but that’s expected for a performance laptop. Overall, this is a great choice for creators or gamers who want a portable, high-performance system that looks professional and delivers reliable results.

Excellent value! This laptop can play any new game at reasonable settings (limited by 8gb of vram) and edit my videos. It is super snappy to use. Solid build quality.
