Reviews for the Gigabyte Aero 15X
Sleek, slim, speedy. In addition to a powerful CPU and a potent GPU the thin Aero 15X is also equipped with a matte IPS panel, an NVMe-SSD, and Thunderbolt 3. Even battery life is pretty decent.

Allow us to introduce one of the longest-lasting gaming laptops we’ve tested to date – and one that still brings the muscle when it’s time to game or work: the Gigabyte Aero 15X. Just watch out for a few cut corners in the name of value.

In the end, color us impressed. Yes, a GeForce GTX 1070-class GPU is a little overkill for gaming at 1920x1080 at 60Hz, and probably justified only if you're looking for future-proofing or to play using an external monitor. A few nagging problems like the laggy trackpad seem to repeat the history of the faulty keyboard.

This machine could use some work in the keyboard and touchpad departments – especially if it wants to do double-duty as a gaming notebook and a notebook for schoolwork. If this notebook is going to be yours for work as well as play, I recommend buying a mouse and even possibly a separate keyboard, with a wrist-rest. It’s always a good time for wrist resting.

Gigabyte’s latest laptop is a rare notebook that doesn’t do much wrong. Its components have ample power for gaming and for its intended work tasks, and the calibrated screen offers more quality than most of its rivals. It’s ergonomically sound, relatively slim and light, and even has decent battery life. It’s a little expensive, but it’s a top-quality option for work and play.

We don't envisage existing Aero 15 owners rushing out to upgrade, yet the Aero 15X is a serious candidate for gamers looking to migrate from an older model, and going by this showing, the future is bright for Max-Q laptops.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q: Efficient high end graphics card for thin and light laptops based on the same GP104 chip as the normal GTX 1070 for laptops but at slower clock speeds. Offers a approx. 15% lower performance but much lower power consumption.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

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.
7700HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Besides four CPU cores (including Hyper Threading), the chips also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU and is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
