Now with six cores. With Intel’s new Coffee-Lake architecture now being released, manufacturers upgrade their existing models. Gigabyte’s new Aero 15X v8 inherits the predecessor's slim bezel, but adds a 144 Hz panel and a hex-core processor.

All told, this makes for a compelling alternative to the GS65, if you don’t mind the slightly more brutalist design. The Aero 15X is a great laptop, improving in the most important ways on our favorite gaming laptop of last year.

The Aero 15X is a well-designed laptop with all the features gamers and creative professionals could need. It’s just a pity it doesn’t perform as well as its spec sheet suggests it should.

Source: Techspot Archive.org version
I’d still recommend the Aero 15X as it has a lot of strengths and the memory bandwidth issue is pretty easy to rectify, but there is more intense competition this time around and I’m very curious to see what Asus and MSI’s competing laptops provide when I check them out in the coming weeks.

Gigabyte Aero 15X review: The best lightweight gaming laptop yet
Source: Engadget Archive.org version
All that said, with the launch of Intel's new high-performance laptop CPU's, a wave of lightweight, powerful laptops arrived this week from ASUS, MSI, Samsung and others. The new ASUS ROG Zephyrus M laptop, for instance, has nearly identical specs to the Gigabyte Aero 15X, with the same eighth-gen Core i7 CPU, GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics and 144Hz screen. The same goes for MSI's GS65 "Stealth Thin" laptop, so Gigabyte has a lot of high-powered competition incoming.

The Aero 15 is an impressive machine that on paper at least has the capability to be a contender for gaming laptop of the year. If it can deliver on its opening promise with regards to performance and battery life, it could be a great option for cash-rich gamers looking for a portable device that can be used for competitive gaming as well as creative/office work.
