Gaming performance will vary by title, but on the whole, the Aero is pulling comparable frame rates to what we’ve seen both the Blade and the Zephyrus produce in 1440p. But Asus’ Zephyrus G15 caps out at 100W with dynamic boost, and Razer’s Blade 15 Base includes a 3070 with a maximum power draw of 95W. The Aero’s RTX 3070 tops out at a 105W power draw, as does the 3070 in the Aorus 15G. Nvidia’s mobile GPUs can be a bit confusing because the same chip can deliver widely varying frame rates depending on its wattage. The fans are also very, very loud on Gigabyte’s Turbo Mode - someone walking by while I was running a video export asked if the laptop was going to take off. The chassis itself, though, was often fairly toasty on the keyboard and too hot on the bottom to comfortably put on my lap, even when I was just working in Chrome. During gaming, the CPU generally hovered below the mid-80s (Celsius) with occasional spikes to the high 80s or low 90s.

The cooling system, which includes two 71-blade fans and five heat pipes, did keep the Core i7 at reasonable temperatures. Note that because the Aero only has a 60Hz display, you won’t be able to see the advantage of frame rates above 60fps.

Three USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Type-A), one Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C), one HDMI 2.1, one mini-DP 1.4, one 3.5 mm headphone / microphone combo jack, one UHS-II SD card reader, one DC-in jack, one RJ-45Ī more recent release, Cyberpunk 2077, ran at 71fps with ray tracing off and 30fps with ray tracing maxed, dropping to 42fps and 19fps, respectively, in 4K (with DLSS on the Quality setting).

15.6-inch Samsung UHD (3840 x 2160) AMOLED display.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GDDR6 8GB (boost clock 1290 MHz, 105W maximum power).

Gigabyte isn’t actually selling this model yet, but it is selling an identical model with 16GB of RAM for $1,999.

You can upgrade the RAM afterward up to 64GB, and there are two M.2 storage slots. The Aero model I have is $2,099 and includes Intel’s Core i7-11800H, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, in addition to the RTX 3070 and the 15.6-inch 4K OLED screen. But if you’ve got your eye on an OLED screen, either because you’re doing color work on the side or you just want your games and movies to look great, this device should get the job done (albeit in a loud and hot manner). The 60Hz screen means you won’t be able to see the impressive frame rates the new hardware is capable of, so many gamers may get a better experience out of a device with a higher refresh rate screen. The performance I saw here wasn’t a massive upgrade from the previous Aero 15, but it’s still some of the best gaming and productivity performance that you’ll find among laptops of this size. The big change is that the Aero 15 now includes Intel’s latest 11th Gen processors and Nvidia’s RTX 3070 graphics card. Also like last year’s model, it has a somewhat clunky aluminum design, a flashy RGB keyboard, a fingerprint sensor in the trackpad, and a webcam inconveniently located underneath the screen. Like last year’s model, this Aero 15 has a 4K OLED display and a decent port selection with Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1.

Gigabyte has released a minor refresh to the Aero 15 OLED, its flagship laptop targeting gamers and creative professionals.
