Reviews for the Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF

86.2% Slim Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED laptop review: Efficient RTX 4070 for gamers and creatives | Notebookcheck
Using a slightly modified design, new connections and new hardware grounded in an Intel Gen 13 and a Nvidia RTX 4070, the Aero 16 OLED seeks to win over gamers and creators alike. We put the laptop through its paces to find out what the case change and hardware upgrades bring to the table.
Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED Review: Solid Performer, Stunning Design
Source: Hot Hardware English
We started this review by saying that creator laptops tend to prioritize a different set of features than your typical gaming laptop. In an ideal world, they offer similar performance to a gaming laptop, but in a lighter chassis, with a more color-accurate display, sleek design, and decent battery life. The Gigabyte 16 AERO comes so very close to greatness, falling short on only that last point. The Intel Core i9-13900H and 115W GeForce RTX 4070 make this a solid performer that comes to close to matching some of last year's gaming laptops, the design is sleek and professional, the build-quality is premium, and the display features a wide gamut with professional-grade color accuracy and pixel perfect OLED contrast. But in order to get all of these things inside of a relatively thin and light package that's also user-upgradable, Gigabyte sacrificed some battery life.

80% Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED (2023) Review
Source: PC Mag English
Topping most of our benchmark-test charts against some higher-end and pricier competitors, especially in CPU-centric trials, the Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED's power, value, and build quality surprised us. The vibrant screen and varied I/O will be appreciated by anyone, but they're particularly useful for creative professionals working with color-dependent media. We're sure the Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED will impress you as much as it impressed us, but, if battery power is something that is a concern (and in an around-4-pound laptop, it should be), the latest Dell XPS 15 will cover that gap for you and do much more.

80% Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED (2023) review: Incredible speed and one of the best OLED displays around
Source: It Pro English
The Aero improves on last year's model when it comes to connectivity, and it retains its excellent exterior and great keyboard. Most importantly, you get incredible performance from the updated internals and a sensational OLED screen that can tackle virtually any creative task. That's impressive when rivals are pricier. Pay more for those machines and there are advantages. The MacBook Pro 16 is just as fast as the Aero and has better battery life. The Dell XPS 15 is slimmer and lighter and also lasts longer. For portable power, incredible screen quality and value, though, the Gigabyte Aero 16 is virtually unbeaten. It's an excellent mobile powerhouse.

The Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF is a powerful creator laptop that features a 4K+ OLED HDR bezel-less screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. It is equipped with the 13th-generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor and the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Laptop GPU series, which provide high-performance computing and real-time rendering capabilities. It also has dual Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, Wi-Fi 6E networking technology, and Mux Switch Technology. The laptop is designed for professionals, designers, and creators who need a portable and versatile device for their work.

Some possible alternatives to the Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF are:

•  Razer Blade 18: This laptop also has a 13th-generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor and a NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Laptop GPU series, but with a larger 18-inch screen and a higher 165Hz refresh rate. However, it is also more expensive, heavier, and does not have an OLED display.

•  Asus Zenbook Pro 16X OLED: This laptop has a similar 16-inch 4K+ OLED screen with a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, but with a lower-end AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and a NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Laptop GPU series. It is cheaper, lighter, and has better battery life than the Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF.

•  MSI CreatorPro Z16P: This laptop has a similar 16-inch 4K+ screen with a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, but with an IPS panel instead of OLED. It also has a lower-end Intel® Core™ i7 processor and a NVIDIA® RTX A3000 Laptop GPU, which is designed for professional applications rather than gaming. It is more expensive, heavier, and has worse battery life than the Gigabyte AERO 16 OLED BSF.

Compared to the i9-13900HK no easy overclocking supported, but instead full vPro management feature-set.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


16.00":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
