The 2022 Gigabyte Aero 16 targets creators as much as gamers, and it adds features we all like, including a 16:10 aspect ratio 4K+ OLED display, 99.9 WHr battery and a slim and light CNC aluminum casing.

It has a Windows Hello IR camera, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E, a white backlit keyboard and comes with a USB-C mini dock to add more ports.

70% Gigabyte Aero 16 Review: A Workstation That Can Game (Kind Of)
Source: The Verge
The Aero 16 is an effective combination of a color-accurate OLED screen, impressive CPU power, and portability. That combination doesn’t come cheap, though, and the price combined with the battery life may make it a difficult purchase to justify for many people. Those who like what the Aero offers but are hoping to spend less might consider Razer’s Blade 17, which is available with this same GPU and a 4K screen for $100 cheaper, or a QHD screen for several hundred dollars cheaper. Those who like the Aero’s look but want better gaming chops may want to look at Gigabyte’s various Aorus laptops, which are gaming-focused and can get you a 3080 for much cheaper. The primary argument for the Aero is that its CPU can deliver MacBook-competitive performance in creative applications while being much stronger than those MacBooks on the gaming front. Of course, an M1 Pro MacBook has various other advantages over the Aero: namely, it can last over six times as long on battery. But if you want a laptop to create, occasionally game, and stay at your desk, the Aero has a legitimate case.

The Gigabyte Aero 16 XE5’s sensational screen, powerful internals and top-notch keyboard make it a good companion for creative tasks, especially if you don’t want to spend MacBook money – but it’s limited by its poor battery and lack of features.

60% Gigabyte Aero 16 XE5 (2022) review: AMOLED-powered good looks, but underwhelming elsewhere
Source: It Pro
The Gigabyte impresses initially thanks to its stunning AMOLED display, crisp keyboard and sleek aluminium chassis, but closer examination reveals several areas where it doesn't quite hit the mark. The processor and graphics core are quick – but faster elsewhere. It alao falls behind rivals when it comes to battery life and connectivity, and there's nothing to choose between the Gigabyte and the competition at the checkout: the Aero, the Asus and the entry-level MacBook Pro all cost £1,999 exc VAT. The Aero supplies sensational screen quality and a superb chassis, but you'll find more speed, connectivity and battery life elsewhere – so we'd consider other machines just as much before laying down any cash for the Gigabyte.

80% Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED (2023) review: Incredible speed and one of the best OLED displays around
Source: It Pro
The Aero improves on last year's model when it comes to connectivity, and it retains its excellent exterior and great keyboard. Most importantly, you get incredible performance from the updated internals and a sensational OLED screen that can tackle virtually any creative task. That's impressive when rivals are pricier. Pay more for those machines and there are advantages. The MacBook Pro 16 is just as fast as the Aero and has better battery life. The Dell XPS 15 is slimmer and lighter and also lasts longer. For portable power, incredible screen quality and value, though, the Gigabyte Aero 16 is virtually unbeaten. It's an excellent mobile powerhouse.
