Gigabyte Aorus 16X Review: flagship yet value for money
Source: 91mobiles
So, at the end of the day, the Aorus 16X is an excellent gaming laptop that manages to check almost all the right boxes. For most users, the priority is going to be performance, cooling, and display, and the 16X delivers on all fronts. The keyboard and GCC software do leave room for improvement, but neither of those is a major flaw. More importantly, considering the price tag and GIGABYTE’s excellent customer service, the Aorus 16X is a solid recommendation.

Gigabyte Aorus 16X review: a gaming laptop that pushes frame rates to the max
Source: Techradar
The Aorus 16X is one of the best performing gaming laptops I have tested and it gives excellent results in both GPU- and CPU-heavy workloads. Gaming frame rates are amongst the best available for an RTX 4070 and the laptop is especially well optimized for settings best suited to the hardware. On the flip side, the 16X has some key limitations for creator use or those who value USB-C charging.

Gigabyte Aorus 16X (2024) Review w/ 14900HX & RTX 4070
Source: Kitguru
My only other real complaint is the noise level, as the laptop does get loud, especially if using the AI Gaming profile – and don't get me started on the Turbo mode! In speaking with my colleague Leo Waldock, he suggested the Windforce Infinity cooling setup looks relatively basic considering the 14900HX CPU used, so high fan speeds may be used to overcome that, resulting in high levels of noise – but the same can also be said for many other portable machines. Overall, the Gigabyte Aorus 16X is a solid laptop that delivers a good user experience. Depending on the type of games you play, you may want to consider looking at an RTX 4080 laptop instead, but for many I have no doubt that this machine will have strong appeal. We don't yet have a buy link for this model, but Gigabyte tells us it will be in stock at Curry's in a couple of weeks, priced at £1899.99.
