I'll keep it short, the laptop gets really hot so keeping it on your lap is no go and the GPU doesn't even work on here maybe I got a bad model, but whenever I'm in ANY adobe suite program the GPU stays at zero according to task manager, although people do say that task manager is really not the best for monitoring stuff like that. There are a lot of iffy things about this laptop I'd be careful buying it. Also, I was promised 240hz but my model never came with it. Aside from my two problems this laptop is fine the screen is very color accurate so creatives can be happy. Battery life is fine I get about 3-4 hours doing intensive stuff(gaming/video editing/etc...)keep in mind I didn't even know if my GPU was working so this may be VERY inaccurate. All things aside, I wish my problems were fixed and this could have been an amazing purchase, I'm returning this and building a pc with the same specs maybe even better for about 700-900 less.

Pros:
+ Build quality
+ Screen
+ IO is extensive considering form factor
+ Very easy to open the lid and upgrade/add ssds/ram
Cons: - Can't get most out of 9750H due to thermal limitations but it is still decent considering form factor
Overall Review:
I may have opted for a slightly bulkier form factor had I realized how thermal limited this would be. Like Aorus or MSI, Razer. If you are considering AERO for gaming you really have to value the thin and light form factor a lot for it to make sense. I do not fault Gigabyte for the thermal throttling I do not think it is worse than most laptops around this size and components.

nice and slim device with excellent CPU and sufficient GPU, runs solidworks and eagle cad nicely.
It can also gaming decently well, it runs high 240hz stably, but anything higher than that would make a bit fan noise very noticeable. the fan can be adjusted by the control center. Overall, nice gaming laptop, better than the previous generation, gigabyte is doing the right thing.

The chassis is a finger print magnet. I like my stuff clean and tidy but the aero 15 collects smudges easily.
- It would have been nice to put a finger print sensor
- I would love the outgoing hot air to goes from the back like the aero 15 oled, not from the inside of the hinge, because i want to use it while closed for a cleaner look.
