Reviews for the Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED YC

80% Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED review: All work, all play
Source: Pocket Lint English
The split personality laptop that's part powerful creative workstation, part gaming laptop. Plenty of people hop between these two worlds, so that the Aero 15 isnt a portability disaster is a little bit magic. Its fans are a little erratic under low pressure and the display hinge could be stiffer, but it's otherwise very impressive at delivering for both worlds.

Review: Gigabyte Aero 15 OLED (GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop)

Our first taste of mobile Ampere ultimately suggests that while Nvidia's latest architecture proved revolutionary on desktop, similar gains are going to be tough to achieve within the tighter confines of a laptop. As powerful as Gigabyte's Aero 15 OLED is, the performance increase over previous models arguably isn't enough to command such a lavish fee, and we'd like to see the manufacturer be clearer in outlining its GPU specifications.

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.

75%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
