Gigabyte has chosen to equip the Aero with high-grade, high-performance Samsung 16 GB DDR4 RAM, which decreases battery consumption, provides high-speed transfer and overall memory quality. Furthermore, the Aero exceeds the limitation by supporting up to two DDR4 memory slots. Besides that, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q delivers the ultimate laptop gaming experience. Powered by the new Nvidia Turing GPU architecture and the revolutionary RTX platform, RTX graphics cards bring together real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading. The Intel 760p 512 GB SSD is what takes transfer speed to the next level, with up to 3.200 MB/s read speed. It lets users work without any long waiting times. Furthermore, the Aero is designed to take two of these speedy SSD’s to increase the total storage space to meet their needs.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q: High-End laptop graphics card based on the TU106 chip with 2,304 shaders and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM. Offers reduced clock speeds to achieve a much lower power consumption. These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  
9750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.6 - 4.5 GHz (4 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
