The Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED is a pretty ‘lil work beast with everything you’ll need if you’re either into content creation or gaming on the go… or BOTH!
Here’s the thing, in our modern age it’s hard to find something that works for everything. If you want something aesthetic, you’ll often sacrifice performance, and if you want something that performs well generally, you’ll be taking a hit to the pocket.
That’s why something like the Gigabyte AERO 15 is surprising because it works really well and looks quite nice (we’re a little shallow like that).
The laptop boasts an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 20 Series / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series, 9th Gen Intel Core i9/i7 processor H-Series (depending which model you get) and a Samsung 4K UHD AMOLED Panel that is X-Rite Pantone Certified Display… but what does this actually mean?
The computer’s graphics card is capable of both gaming and high-performance video, it’s equipped with quite a powerful processor that coped with everything we chucked at it and a gorgeous display that has been colour calibrated to represent accurate colours.
Since for us we mostly used it for video-editing/colour grading having a graphics card/CPU that can concurrently run Adobe CC’s Premiere and After Effects that doesn’t sound like it’s about to cough it’s an absolute godsend. And seeing accurate colours was a surprise when importing older projects that weren’t the prettiest/well-graded.
The only thing close to a downside we could find was that it gets a little bit warm when on your lap, then again maybe trying to render 4K footage into Premiere while sitting down wasn’t the best call.
The Gigabyte AERO 15 is a surprising blend of gaming and video creation, it’s exactly the right amount of both…oh and the RGB keyboard is like a party for your fingers.
