The Gigabyte Aero 15 is a laptop designed for designers and creative professionals. But I didn't believe that when I first saw the thing. This doesn't feel like any notebook that comes to mind when I think of the creators. The Aero is a beast, man. It's 15.6 inches long and 4.4 pounds tall. It has a neon LED emblem on the cover, large clear vents on the back and sides, and a vibrant RGB keyboard that turns heads from around the room. This is a gaming laptop, I was thinking about using it on my first day. Designers are not going to want this.
Specs
Of example, you can even play games on the Aero 15—it has the hardware for it, after all. There's a 10th Gen 8-core i7-10875H processor, a 512 GB SSD (plus one available M.2 slot), 16 GB RAM (DDR4) and a brand-new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q GPU. What you won't find on gaming notebooks is a 60Hz OLED display with 3840 x 2160 (4 K) resolution.
Thermals
The Aero 15 has what Gigabyte refers to as a "next-gen cooling system." It comes with two fans, each containing 71 8-centimeter blades, plus five heat pipes. The system should be finished, but harshly. Throughout my daily workload — including about a dozen Chrome tabs, Slack, Steam, and Spotify apps open with downloads running in the background — all parts of the Aero remained pretty cool. During the play, just the bottom was mildly wet, the touchpad and the wrist stayed cold, and the CPU never reached 88 degrees Celsius.
