Customer Ratings & Reviews

This laptop excels in some areas but falls short in others. The best things are the fact that has fast refresh rate, no glare monitor and fast PCI SSD though only half a terabyte. Gigabyte makes excellent motherboards and other PC components, so I expected this laptop to be excellent as well but unfortunately it is just overall good due to how heavy it is, very loud fan when under heavy use. The fan has 4 setting ranging from Eco the most quiet to Turbo the loudest with a custom setting that can be loud depending on the adjustments. The sound is not as clear as it should be at high levels. The bezel size is larger than the monitor which makes it difficult to fit in a back pack for 15.6 in laptops, however, a laptop bag fits it quite well. The connections on the back are very convenient for LAN, HDMI, DP, USB-C and USB3 so that there is no need for a docking station which makes it for a very good business laptop. The keyboard light has several settings and colors for most tastes and also has quick access buttons on the right. I'd recommend using an external keyboard for more comfortable playing or use a Game controller for better comfort. All games play smooths with a bit delay while playing high GPU demand first shooter games. This is a heavy laptop so it is best suited for heavy office use or desktop gaming. Battery life for games is about two hours with non-stop play as I tested it. As I see it, this is a very good business laptop and good mid-range gaming laptop. Memory and CPU are average.

I got this laptop for Christmas. I love the rainbow keyboard. The laptop itself seems pretty sturdy and is a little on the heavier side. I had the RAM upgraded to 16GB and the SSD to 1TB. The boot up process is a bit slow and when gaming the fans do get a little loud. I’m very hsppy with this laptop.

The GIGABYTE - AORUS 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop - Intel i5-13500H - 8Gb computer boasts a superior gaming experience specifically with true gamers in mind. The backlighting bring a next-level look to this laptop, while the screen uses the FHD technology to bring you quality graphics for your next match. I found this laptop to be lacking outside of the aesthetics. Out of the box, the computer was slow, the fans kick into overdrive, and the unit got warm... all before ever getting to a game - this was just for setting up the computer through the normal windows setup process. After the laptop finally arrived to the home screen, it took nearly 2 hours for the laptop to accept a wireless/Bluetooth mouse, basically a standard for the industry. After downloading numbers files and apps, it finally worked, even though the mouse is plug-n-play on every other computer I own, including my work laptop. The lighting effects are good, but the screen and hinges feel weak and I would be concerned of any drop, even in a padded laptop case. Overall, I was not impressed with this product, despite hoping for the opposite! PROS - Quality screen and visuals - Nice backlighting - Good for lower-end gaming without needing to double the cost for higher-end CONS - Questionable performance - Concerns over screen and hinges - Old-skool brick weight - both laptop and charger
