Gigabyte Aero X16 Review: Sleek AMD Zen 5 gaming machine with Nvidia RTX 5070 Laptop and upgradeable RAM

Zen 5 with expandable RAM.

The Gigabyte Aero X16 is a slim 16-inch gaming laptop featuring the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 Krackan Point APU. The Aero X16's comes equipped with a matte QHD+ 165 Hz IPS that is well suited for gaming. The RAM can be expanded further, adding further value. We take a look at what the Aero X16 is capable of in this review.

Verdict: The Aero X16 is a good overall package, but the RTX 5070 Laptop disappoints

With the Aero X16, Gigabyte is launching one of the first gaming laptops on the market that is equipped with the new RTX 5070 Laptop. Together with the AMD Ryzen processor, this results in an efficient package and many games can also be played smoothly in QHD resolution. 

The problem, however, is that the speed advantage over the last gen RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is very small and the unchanged 8 GB video memory becomes increasingly problematic with demanding titles. Gigabyte can't be faulted with this, of course, as all upcoming laptops with the RTX 5070 Laptop will have this problem. 

The matte IPS display with a 165 Hz refresh rate cannot match up to the brilliance of OLEDs, but the overall picture quality is subjectively good with decent measured values. The display is also suitable for image editing in the sRGB color space without any problems.

The plastic chassis makes a good impression overall and the keyboard in particular is very comfortable. However, some of the equipment has been cut back, as there is neither PCIe Gen5 support nor Wi-Fi 7. This is certainly passable for most users, but how does one still install a lame USB 2.0 port in a laptop that costs a good €1,800 is a mystery to us. 

The distribution of connections on the two front side areas is not very ideal. Upgrade options, on the other hand, are very good with expandable RAM and two SSD slots.

That being said, the disappointing performance of the RTX 5070 Laptop remains. It makes much more sense to buy a laptop with the older RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, as you then get nearly the same gaming performance for a lower price.

Pros

+ Sturdy housing
+ Highly comfortable keyboard
+ Good system performance
+ Gaming performance generally sufficient for QHD
+ Matte 165 Hz IPS display without PWM
+ Expandable RAM (max. 64 GB) and 2x SSD slots (M.2-2280)

Cons

- Gaming performance barely better than an RTX 4070 Laptop
- Non-ideal port distribution and 1x USB 2.0
- Loud fans during gaming
- No Wi-Fi 7
- Weak 1080p webcam

Price and availability

Currently, only the more expensive version of the Aero X16 is available for €1,999 from Amazon and Notebooksbilliger.

Case & features: Sturdy, fingerprint-prone plastic housing

Gigabyte uses a plastic construction for the new Aero X16. The chassis is quite compact for a 16-inch device with a height of 16.7-19.9 mm and a weight of 1.97 kg. In addition to our dark gray version — which is very susceptible to fingerprints — a white version is also available. Both the stability and the workmanship are very good overall. 

The two hinges are sturdy-enough (maximum opening angle 135°) and only allow minimal rocking. Upgrade options are very good, as the Aero X16 is one of the first devices to combine a Zen 5 processor with expandable RAM. Two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs are available as well.

However, there are a few feature compromises you need to contend with. For starters, there is only a Wi-Fi 6E module and a slow USB 2.0 port, which is inexplicable for a high-end laptop in 2025. 

The ports are located very near to the front on both sides. Thanks to the AMD processor, the Gigabyte Aero X16 is a Copilot+ laptop with advanced AI functions including live subtitles and studio effects for the webcam. 

The webcam takes pictures in 1080p and fulfills its purpose, but the picture quality is not particularly good. An IR module for face recognition is available.

Sustainability

Gigabyte does not provide any information on environmental standards, the CO2 footprint or the use of recycled materials. The packaging consists almost entirely of cardboard.

Input devices: Comfortable keyboard

The Aero X16 does not have a number pad, but it offers a very comfortable keyboard with a long 1.7 mm keystroke and a precise pressure point. In terms of layout, only the small arrow keys are really annoying. There is a 1-zone RGB backlight with three intensity levels. 

The touchpad is sufficiently large (13.3 x 9 cm) and offers very good gliding properties, but the mechanical clicks are a little loud.

The Aero X16 uses a matte IPS screen with a 2,560x1,600 resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate. The picture quality is subjectively good with sharp content and rich colors, and even bright content only appears slightly grainy on closer inspection.

However, the IPS panel cannot keep up with OLED panels or mini-LEDs. That being said, there is no PWM flickering and the response times are fast.

We measured a 403 cd/m² peak brightness, which, together with the slightly higher black level of 0.32 cd/m², only results in a 1,234:1 measured contrast ratio. 

Analysis with the professional Calman Ultimate software from Portrait Displays already shows very accurate colors ex-works, but there is a minimal blue cast and a slightly cooler color temperature. 

We can correct this with our own calibration, but the maximum brightness drops by around 25 cd/m². The sRGB color space is fully covered, so the Aero X16 is also suitable for editing images and videos.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
5.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 2.1 ms rise
↘ 3.5 ms fall
The screen shows very fast response rates in our tests and should be very well suited for fast-paced gaming.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 16 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
12 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5.7 ms rise
↘ 6.3 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 23 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Test conditions

Gigabyte offers various energy profiles and extensive setting options with its own GiMATE software. We carried out all benchmarks and measurements in Performance (gaming) mode.

Processor

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (Krackan Point) with eight Zen 5 cores (4x Zen 5 + 4x Zen 5c) is found mainly in cheaper laptops and offers decent performance. The optional Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 would certainly benefit more from the higher 70 W power limit. 

Sustained multi-core performance remains completely stable under load. In battery mode (max. 45 W), the multi-core performance drops by only 6%.

Storage devices

A 1 TB SSD from Kingston is installed came installed in our Aero X16 sample. The transfer rates of the PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD are good overall and remain stable even under constant load. 

However, the second SSD slot is only connected via PCIe 4.0 x2, so the transfer rates here are limited to a maximum of around 3.5 GB/s.

GPU performance

The Gigabyte Aero X16 is based on the new GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop with an 85 W TGP and the regular Optimus GPU switching. As we showed in our analysis the new 5070 Laptop is not much faster than the previous RTX 4070 Laptop. The 8 GB of VRAM isn't particularly futureproof either. 

In both the synthetic and gaming benchmarks, the RTX 5070 Laptop is on par with variants of the RTX 4070 Laptop with slightly higher TGP values of up to 100 W, while scoring a few percentage points ahead of 80 W RTX 4070 Laptop variants. 

The offered gaming performance is sufficient for the QHD resolution in current titles in principle, although the VRAM can pose a limitation with some quality settings. 

GPU performance remains stable under constant load, but power consumption is reduced to 35 W (-53%) on battery.

Gigabyte Aero X16: Cooling unit
Gigabyte Aero X16: Cooling unit

The dual fans of the Aero X16 usually remain deactivated in everyday use and only really turn up when gaming or under very high load. 

However, they get very loud at around 50 dB(A) sound pressure level (SPL) in the Performance mode. 

We recorded a maximum SPL of 46.8 dB(A) in Balanced and 35.4 dB(A) in Eco modes. There were no other electronic noises from the test device.

Temperature

The chassis remains cool while performing basic tasks, but we measured almost 50 °C in the rear area of the underside under stress. Therefore, you should not place the Aero X16 on your thighs under high load. 

However, the top of the base unit remains relatively cooler and there are no restrictions when typing while running heavy loads. In the stress test with combined CPU/GPU load, the RTX 5070 Laptop card operates at 70 W while the Ryzen AI 7 350 is limited to 25 W.

Energy consumption

150 W power supply unit
150 W power supply unit

The Aero X16 is a comparatively economical device with 11 W consumption in idle mode. Our measurements show a maximum power draw of 155 W during the stress test, which then quickly levels off at 127 W.

You can expect the laptop to draw about 120 W when gaming, so the supplied compact 150 W power supply unit can keep the laptop sufficiently fed.

Notebookcheck overall rating

The Gigabyte Aero X16 comes across as a well-rounded midrange gaming laptop with decent specs, but the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with its 8 GB VRAM can quickly prove to be a limitation in modern AAA games at QHD max settings.
