The Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 (Gen 2) delivers the fast 1600p gaming its RTX 5090 spec promises, and the 240Hz OLED display is excellent for games, video and creative work. It’s also slim for the hardware inside, with useful but somewhat cramped ports and USB-C charging for top-ups away from the power brick. The downsides are real, though: the fans are loud under load and battery life is disappointing even for a gaming laptop.

The Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 is a portable powerhouse that delivers the FPS you crave in your favorite AAA titles and beyond. It pulls no punches with performance, and the only question mark is how you feel about the noisy fan system. If that's not an obstacle, you won't get a better-performing laptop this year.

The Gigabyte AORUS MASTER 16 GEN 2 is an absolute beast. The question is not whether it’s any good, but whether it’s the right fit for your needs and whether you can justify that hefty $6,599 price tag. If you can’t afford to compromise on portable performance for work and/or play and your budget will stretch, the AM6J certainly won’t disappoint.

AMD's Ryzen 9 9955HX3D just raised the bar for gaming laptops — and it did it while running 20°C cooler than Intel's flagship. I spent the last couple of weeks testing the 2026 Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 with the RTX 5090, and this is everything you need to know: thermals, benchmarks, gaming performance, the much brighter new display, and the one spec that actually got worse this year.
