Reviews for the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED XB-8DE51B0SP

85.8% Gigabyte Aero 15 XB laptop review: Taking the lead with OLED | Notebookcheck
After we recently had the Aero 17 HDR in our editorial department, it's now time for the new version of the Aero 15 OLED to show what it's capable of. It packs an octa-core processor, a Super Max-Q chip and a brilliant UHD display.
100% Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED review: a luxury laptop for gamers and creatives
Source: T3 English
The Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED wants to cater to both gamers and professionals and it just about pulls it off: the shaky battery life and occasional noise are more than balanced out by top performance, a brilliant 4K screen, and plenty of other appealing features.

Review: Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (Intel 10th Gen)

We expect such niggles to be ironed out for the next major refresh, but in the meantime, GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q graphics represent a known quantity, 16GB of DDR4 memory is customary, and though the Optane-infused Intel SSD is a little unusual, the laptop looks and feels familiar. All-round performance is strong, connectivity is better than most, battery life is where you'd expect it to be, and the 4K OLED display once again stands out with accurate colour and true blacks.

The Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED is a remarkable device for the creatively minded while also boasting the capability to run AAA games, offering a strong performance in an office-friendly chassis. The display and trackpad have few rivals, although some small issues may turn gaming fans away.

90% Gigabyte Aero 15 XB review (2020 model – OLED, i7-10875H, RTX 2070 Super)
Source: Ultrabook Review English Archive.org version
This 2020 15-inch Aero is among the better notebooks in its class. Gigabyte improved on the overall performance, thermals, and noise levels from the previous generation, which now add up to its existing strong suits, such as the sturdy build quality, the complete IO and inputs, the large battery and the multitude of available configurations. I'm just not sold on the OLED screen choice though, it looks awesome, but it's an expensive option and I'm warry of the technology's long term reliability in a laptop implementation, with all the static content that it has to display.

80% Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED XB Review: Intel's 10th Gen H-series processor has arrived
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
If you are familiar with last year’s Aero 15 OLED XA, then this year’s newer model is basically more of the same but with incremental performance and battery life. It is still the same gaming laptop with a stunning 4K edge-to-edge display, same keyboard, and trackpad and even chassis. That said however, it also retains the same kinks as its predecessor; the fans are still extremely noisy at maximum speed and the webcam is still located awkwardly at the bottom bezel. I thought it is a missed opportunity by Gigabyte to do some refinements to the Aero 15 OLED series with the XB, even if they are minor ones, and possibly turning it from a good gaming laptop to a ‘great’ one.

80% Gigabyte Aero 15 Review: Works Hard, Plays Hard
Source: The Verge English Archive.org version
The Gigabyte Aero 15 is a laptop aimed at designers and creative professionals. But when I first saw the thing, I didn’t believe that. It looks nothing like any laptop that comes to mind when I think of “creators” (the slim and sleek MacBook Pros, XPS 15s, Surface Books, and Zenbooks of the world). The Aero is a beast. It’s 15.6 inches wide and 4.4 pounds. It has a bright LED logo on its lid, large visible vents on the back and bottom, and a colorful RGB keyboard that will turn heads from across the office. This is a gaming laptop, I thought on my first day using it. Designers won’t want this.

The Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (2020) is yet another brilliant laptop aimed at creative professionals. New for 2020 are updated components, including new Intel and Nvidia tech, but it's that gorgeous OLED screen that continues to win us over.

It might have a webcam in a silly place but that’s one of the only problems we can find with the Aero 15 OLED. This creative focused laptop combines a sleek and portable design with one of the best displays we’ve seen on a laptop, powerful internals and more. It just might cost too much for some.

I said at the beginning the Aero was neither a gaming laptop nor a workstation, but it can easily fill in for either. As an elegant thoroughbred for creative professionals, it richly deserves an Editors' Choice.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q: High-End laptop graphics card based on the TU104 chip with 2,560 shaders. Runs at reduced clock speeds compared to a laptop RTX 2070 Super to achieve a much lower power consumption. The TGP is specified at 80 Watts and therefore significantly lower than the RTX 2070 Super Mobile (115 Watt).

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


i7-10875H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates eight processor cores clocked at 2.3 - 5,1 GHz (all 8 cores up to 4.3 GHz) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

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.

Gigabyte monitors offer 4K Pro Gaming.


79.83%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
