Overall system performance is very swift thanks to the device’s user-replaceable NVMe-SSD. Additional storage space can be installed in the second M.2 slot, however there is no room for a 2.5-inch hard drive. The matte FHD display offers decent viewing angles, adequate brightness, and a very good contrast ratio. Unfortunately, response times are on the slow side and could be a bit faster.

The Gigabyte Aero 15X is a gaming laptop that defies the conventions of this class. It refuses to be 4cm thick, to weigh at least 3kg and to last just four hours between charges. What you end up with is a very powerful, desktop-rivalling laptop that is...

Great battery life combined with a compact frame and outstanding gaming performance makes this the gaming laptop to look at for someone who will actually use it for purposes other than gaming.

This machine could use some work in the keyboard and touchpad departments – especially if it wants to do double-duty as a gaming notebook and a notebook for schoolwork. If this notebook is going to be yours for work as well as play, I recommend buying a...

The new ASUS ROG Zephyrus M laptop, for instance, has nearly identical specs to the Gigabyte Aero 15X, with the same eighth-gen Core i7 CPU, GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics and 144Hz screen. The same goes for MSI's GS65 "Stealth Thin" laptop, so Gigabyte has a lot of high-powered competition incoming.

In the end, color us impressed. Yes, a GeForce GTX 1070-class GPU is a little overkill for gaming at 1920x1080 at 60Hz, and probably justified only if you're looking for future-proofing or to play using an external monitor. A few nagging problems like...

Gigabyte’s $2,199 Aero 15 X is a fast gaming laptop, but it isn’t the fastest. Its Max-Q GTX 1070 is slightly slower than standard variants, but performance shouldn’t be the only aspect you should look for in a gaming notebook. With its more power-consciousness GPU, Gigabyte is able to deliver a thin and light gaming notebook that offers good battery life and still packs a performance punch.
