    My Gigabyte Aero 16 is a great laptop. It has excellent performance and in the past few months of owning it, I have not run into any issues. It is an excellent value as well, with similar laptops from other brands costing much more. I would highly recommend it.

    I've been enjoying this beautiful, well-built laptop since the first day I have it. The 4k Amoled screen is fabulous, it's easily the best part of this laptop. I love the overall design, it feels solid as well. The speaker quality is loud and clear (remember to update it in the control panel), it's 8/10 in my opinion. I do not have any issue with thermal issues like some ppl mentioned in the review. But the battery life is, indeed, just okay, not horrible at least. And the lack of in-built ports could be annoying sometimes, but at least Gigabyte was considerate enough to give a hub for free, tho they could have designed it better so we can attach it more solidly on the laptop (So I choose to use a USB-c extension to connect them). The only real complaint I have is the biosystem, it seems like I am unable to install the latest version directly. I've tried several times already and all it did was showing the installment screen but never reboots itself, and when I restarted the laptop it still says I need to update it. Eventually, it kinda messed up my control panel thingy (it disable some hotkey settings), so I had to reset to the factory setting. I hope gigabyte will fix this issue someday. Other than that, I have no complaints about this powerful machine. I would definitely recommend this product when it's on sale. You will not regret it! I would give 4.5 star out of 5 if I could.

    nothing but good things to say about this laptop, for starters it runs every game very well and the 4k screen makes everything look vivid and. a couple of downsides though but it wouldnt stop me from buying it again if i had to do it over. 1. battery life while gaming isnt good. which i keep it plugged in all the time, 2. wifi speed is bad but its a windows 11 issue. my data cap is 50mbps. my phone on a good day hits about 40mpbs while the laptop does 1-5mpbs max. i only notice this when downloading big files like games and movies.

    The computer is really good. Though few issues it is really loud and can get decently hot but bearable. It is a content creator computer but it’s able to game to good extent. Though sometimes the game feels choppy while playing but overall it’s bearable. I have yet to test it’s content creation capabilities but after all the videos I have seen it lives up to it. So far I have been having a lot of fun with this computer and it’s extremely light weight. It is a complete beauty with a 4K screen and the speakers are pretty good. Though it’s battery life does suffer sadly.

    Beautiful laptop screen with loed. However its pretty crappy in potential with its 60hz. Theres only like 4 usb type c ports. So a adapter or dock is needed for extra monitor. It does charge with the type c power charger IF its connected to the right top usbc for some reason it only works in that one but not the one from the bottom.

    At the sale price this is a phenomenal laptop. The graphics card for the desktop version (yes I know its more powerful) would be $600 alone and the piece de resistance is the screen. Gorgeous! 4k! Super Bright! OLED for the dark scenes. I can't say enough about the screen. You *can* game in 4k but better is 1080 scaled with all settings on max.

    Fantastic for content creation, decent/OK for gami

    Five stars if you're getting it on sale, 4 stars if not. This is an overall solid performer. I primarily purchased this laptop for two main reasons; video editing and occasional gaming. It handles video editing very well, while gaming is ok/decent. Video editing/content creation: This laptop handles Blackmagic RAW 6K footage with complex color grades extremely well. If I allow the laptop to pre-cache some of the timeline, the playback is silky smooth. Your mileage may vary depending on the video codec you're editing, but this laptop has handled BRAW, h264 and h265 quite easily. Not to mention the very color accurate 4K OLED Panel. Video editing and color grading is truly a delight on this laptop. Gaming: It's decent. On PC, I mostly play esports kinds of titles; League of Legends, Overwatch, etc. At 4K resolution, the games don't perform that well. You'll still get 60FPS, but you'll experience some hiccups, little freezes here and there. Dropping down the resolution to QHD helps, but then now you're looking at blurrier image. General feel: I enjoy the aluminum build and no numpad (i really despise numpads). Keyboard feels pretty good with keys having nice feedback and actuation. If I was nitpicking -- I'd wish the trackpad wasn't black and wish the keys on the keyboard deck were slightly larger. But overall, the laptop feels great to the touch. Overall: This is a good laptop. If you're able to snag this for sub $1.6k, it's really worth it. At the original $2.3k asking price though? No, you can definitely get another laptop with comparable build/quality with better performance. If you do decide to get this laptop, just understand that the wattage on the 3070 Ti is lower than other dedicated gaming laptops, namely because the cooling solutions on those other laptops are a bit better. This laptop is geared towards creators and in that sense, serves its' purpose really well. I highly recommend this laptop if you can get it on sale and if you prioritize content creation over gaming, just don't expect to do anything productive with the power adapter unplugged. the only use this laptop has when in battery mode is unplugging it to move it somewhere else. Outside of that, the battery life is pretty terrible with the performance to match.

    Issues after 2 months of ownership

    The keyboard stopped working 2 months after purchasing the laptop. Nothing damaged it and I attempted reinstalling drivers/ Windows with no luck. I'm now attempting to RMA it with gigabyte. Apart from the keyboard issue the laptop is excellent value. The screen is exceptional. I will note that the GPU is throttled due to poor cooling in this model. It doesn't make the best gaming setup despite having a 3070ti.

    The screen on this laptop is beautiful and the performance is great but this laptop only has type C ports which requires me to use dongles for almost everything so I returned it.

    The visuals on this computer are amazing. Best display of any laptop I found on the market while shopping around. Memory could be a little higher, but even without that it's ready for high end gaming right out of the box. I was so impressed with this gaming laptop that I got one for myself after purchasing on for my wife.

    I purchased this computer as a replacement for my 5 year old laptop. It was easy to set up; the display is beautiful and it is a screamer as far as speed goes. I do not play games on my computer, but I use if for my LOGOS Bible Software searches. Some of the software's functions search through my extensive library and does it in basically a blink of the eye. My old laptop could take several minutes, but not this one. I really do love it.

    I got this laptop open-box and on sale for an unbelievable price. Especially considering the specs. This laptop is pretty amazing. Its fast and powerful but also beautiful. The glossy oled 4k screen is pretty rare in a gaming laptop. Laptops with screens this pretty usually lack solid graphics cards. This computr really has it all… except ports. Youll need dongles. But its a small price to pay for one of the best windows laptops.

    The first pleasant surprise about this 16" laptop is how slim and light-weight it is. Also, the classy silver case doesn't scream, "I'm a gamer!" and still offers a nice contrast to the black keyboard and touchpad. The keyboard is very responsive and the intensity of the white backlight is just right. With its cutting-edge processor and 6E WiFi, it handles productivity task like a champ. Outside of work and web browsing, I have only watched movies and streamed videos on the laptop. The picture quality is amazing. However, make sure to plug in the battery for full brightness and position the laptop to minimize glare. A helpful hint I picked up is to go to Windows 11 sound setting to increase frequency response to 24-bit 192000Hz. After that, the sound is excellent for a laptop. The only disappointment is the lack of ports. It is inconvenient to use the included 4-way adaptor, but perhaps it is the price you pay for a slim design. All things considered, I am very satisfied and highly recommend this laptop.
