90% Gigabyte Aero 15X V8-BK4 Review: Gigabyte’s Coffee Lake Max-Q refresh
Source: Toptenreviews Archive.org version
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.

75% Gigabyte Aero 15X notebook review: Small improvements go a long way
Source: Hardware Zone Archive.org version
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.

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.

The Gigabyte Aero 15X is a sleek machine with strong gaming performance, but its quiet speakers and dim display hold it back from being amazing.

Review: GIGABYTE Aero 15X Laptop

The Aero 15 was one of our favorite do everything laptops from 2017, and the Aero 15X is better. The inclusion of an updated CPU and GPU, along with the higher refresh rate panel, has made a great gaming/production laptop into a strong contender for portable workhorse of the year.

89% 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.

If the experience and specs that Gigabyte were pitching with the Aorus X9 was compelling to you but the price-tag was not. The company’s AERO 15 might just do the trick.

Review: Gigabyte Aero 15X (8th Gen)

the Core i7-8750H is a welcome upgrade, but consider a second stick of RAM and a clean install of Windows if you wish to elevate the 8th Gen Aero 15X from good to great.

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.
