Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's pretty nice. Graphics are good, I can run games with ray tracing. (Only have a couple right now) better lasts a pretty good while, don't have like everything open at once though. Doesn't stuffer when I'm online or anything.

Fantastic gaming computer for the price! The graphics are good. If there is any lag, it's provider or server related. This computer is ready willing and able to perform!

The GIGABYTE AORUS 15 is a good entry level budget gaming laptop with a modern cpu and graphics card. The overall design is nice and has a good sturdy feel and the available ports should be plenty for on the go. In anticipation of Diablo IV tested D3 with all setting maxed out and was easily able to run >144fps thanks to the RTX4050 and the 6GB of video ram and the 13th gen i5 13500 processor. When under load the fans are loud but that is expected to keep the temps down, but when not under load the laptop is very quiet. Bootup is a little on the slow side, but that can be addressed with a few minor upgrades. The screen is clear and bright and the sound is decent for this formfactor. The 1080p webcam is great and will support Windows hello, so you can utilize facial recognition to bypass password entry. The bundled Gigabyte control center software is very helpful with keeping the drivers up-to-date as well as providing you with quick and easy customization options and controls. One drawback though is the lack of number pad, but that is somewhat expected with the footprint. As spec'd his laptop twill get you started, but to get the most out of it does require some additional hardware upgrades as it is limited on the storage space and available RAM, but the expansion ports are available when you are ready to do so.

It's pretty popular to be upset with Nvidia right now for their pricing, but honestly this 4050 is amazing for its price!!! I'm the typical gamer that likes to buy the top-of-the-line GPU to ensure that I won't have any issues running any game for years! A kind of 'investment' if you will. Not really an investment, but you get what I mean. I'm investing in longevity. All that said and the mobile 4050 is better than the mobile 3070 in my experience and less expensive, you get more performance for less money, that's a win in my book. Basically the 4050 is MUCH better than I originally thought it'd be. Playing CyberPunk without Frame Generation and no Ray Tracing and NO DLSS, I was getting 44 - 50 FPS at 1080p on ultra. After I turned all the tech back on, it bounced up to 102-118 FPS with Optimus. Yes, it has a MUX switch and yes, I left on Optimus so I can do work and other things on it and not have to deal with a restart or have the battery draining super-fast. I am sure I could get more performance out of it if I disabled integrated graphics, but it's more convenient of a laptop with it on if you're doing other things. It has an amazing battery for being a gaming laptop. Was able to do my taxes, homework, and work from home on it before it died just over 6 hours at 50% brightness. Basically, using Office and the web browser. Basically in Witcher 3, Halo, Call of Duty MW, High on Life, Wo Long, etc. it ran it perfectly fine at high or ultra and if there was DLSS or FG, it ran even better! Halo for example doesn't use anything and though I couldn't put it on Ultra due to VRAM limitations, it ran perfectly fine on High. I love the build quality of the laptop. It feels more expensive than it is. The rubber feet stop it from sliding all around which I appreciate. The cheap rubber feat on other gaming laptops is terrible, but Gigabyte added some good ones here. I also love the easy upgradability, and the fact the speakers are decent. Typing on the laptop is also fantastic, easily was able to do what I needed to in terms of work and school. The BIOS is easy to understand, and it stays cool during all the gaming I've done! Honestly this laptop is pretty sweet, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows though. 8 GBs of system RAM isn't enough, I wish it came with more standard. 10 or 12 GB would have been a good starting point. The fan noise is high pitched and can get loud, I wish it was more of a 'whoosh' than what it's doing. Screen uniformity on my unit was not too bad, but it did have bright spots in the corner for black or dark scenes, but I got used to it pretty quickly and I wish the screen got brighter. I'm thinking this is a 300 Nits screen. With these negatives, it's not a deal breaker though! I added an extra stick of RAM and the performance increased. So it's not as if you're adding RAM to make it more usable, you're also getting a bump in performance. Fans though are pitchy, the fans aren't blasting at full speed during gaming sessions 24/7 (Unless you're in turbo mode), it ramps and subsides throughout your session. None are deal breakers in my opinion! Overall, this is a fantastic laptop and deserves it's 5 stars and it has opened my eyes to the power of the 4050! It's WAY more capable than I thought it'd be. Take a look at my screenshots of 3DMark, and the Witcher and Cyberpunk! They're really good IMO. If you'd asked me 3 months ago if the 4050 was a good gaming laptop, I'd have a much different answer than if you asked me today! Highly recommended laptop, both the performance AND the build quality are great!

The Gigabyte Aorus gaming laptop is a nice entry level gaming laptop which will play many modern games at decent settings, however, there are a couple noticable shortcomings which are hard to ignore. This laptop comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of DDR5 RAM, 512 GB SSD, 1920x1080 15.6inch 165hz display, and an NVIDIA RTX 4050 graphics card. These are somewhat decent specs for an entry level gaming laptop, and will more than get the job done to play most modern games. I tested it out on a number of different games such as Doom Eternal and Forza Horizon 5. In most games I could set the graphics settings right around the middle and get over 100 fps. So if you're used to playing on a beefed up gaming desktop that maxes out settings and gets you 165 fps, you may be disappointed, but if you are just getting into PC gaming and want something portable, this is a great option. A couple things in particular really bugged me though. The SSD is only 512 GB, and much of that is taken up by the OS. So realistically, you can only fit a hand full of modern games on this system. Even consoles come with 1TB and 2TB ssds now a days. I really wish they had at least included a 1TB drive. You will either have to constantly uninstall and reinstall games, or get an external drive. This was my biggest problem with the system. A couple other things that I didn't care for but weren't as big a deal are the screen resolution and the RAM. The screen is only HD, 1920x1080. This just feels a bit outdated at this point. I would at least prefer 1440p, if not full 4K. And the RAM also seems outdated. 8GB, especially for a gaming laptop just seems cheap. This should at least be 16GB. But, as I said before, this will still get the job done. Overall, this system feels like it had a bit more potential, but I think they cut back on some of the components to hit that sub-$1000 mark. I have mixed feelings about this system overall, because I personally wouldn't buy it, but if you are someone who wants a system that is capable of playing modern games, is portable, and don't want to spend over $1000, then this is a perfect system for you, and I would definitely recommend it. As long as you fully understand the specs that you are getting with this system, I think you won't be disappointed. It is a well built system and is very nice to use.

This laptop comes with a charging cable, a quick start guide and runs Windows 11. There are more ports than usual for a laptop with 3 USB-A, 2 USB-C ports, an Ethernet port, HDMI and Display ports and an audio jack. This gives you plenty of room for anything you want to use with this laptop. This is a rarity I was looking for in a laptop. The display is FHD with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphic card with 6G of dedicated memory and the CPU is an Intel i5-13500H. Most games will work well with this laptop. The keyboard is backlit and can easily be seen in a dark room. The laptop has 8 GB of memory and comes with a 512 GB SSD hard drive. If you have games that take up a lot of space, you may not be able to fit them all on this hard drive. If you have that many games, you might want to use this as a back up for traveling. The audio on this laptop is pretty good also. It is great for game play and movies at any volume, and it does have some volume. If you are looking for a great sound for music though, you may want to invest in a good headset. But as far as sound goes for a laptop, it is pretty decent. The price range and features of this laptop make this great for any gamer starting out or a great addition for gamers that want to be on the move.

The Gigabyte AROUS 15.6 FHD gaming laptop out of the box is very impressive. It has an excellent and sturdy build. I was very impressed with the placement of the HDMI, power plug port, video ports, and ethernet on the back of the laptop. It makes for a beneficial placement on your desk and pairing it with a larger monitor. It also has very impressive backlighting under the monitor, which is fantastic, not to mention the impressive 15.6 1920 x 1080 display with exceptional clarity. Which is also Rheinland certified. Gigabyte has also packed the video G-Force rtx40 series and the video G-Force RTX 4050 laptop GPU 6 GDDR6. I played a first-person shooter with no lag or disappointment. You have plenty of room for your favorite games with DDR5 4800 8GB*1 (8GB) storage and 512GB Storage (Gen4 M.2 SSD). It also has lovely audio specs with DTS:X Ultra Audio Technology, Built-in Microphone, and 2x 2W Speakers. I am a gamer, but this laptop is excellent for everyday tasks and web entertainment. The Battery life last all day with constant use.
