Thank you for touching on the video editing timeline performance. For some reason other reviewers don't talk about that much or at all and that is sooooooooooo much more important (imo at least) than export time.

Thanks for reviewing this one! Can't seem to find any other reviews of the new Aeros yet. Would love if you could do a review for the 14 inch next

Thank you for including the button clicks during fan noise comparison. Helps to have something relative to compare it against

Competent and entertaining as always, thank you. 🙏

Thanks for noise samples. I can't believe other reviewers don't bother doing it

That is an very interesting table you got there.

Excellent video as usual! Expecting the review of the Asus tuf A16 Advantage Edition to drop soon ....

thanks for review. Your review had a big impact on me. - korean viewer

I got one of those Aero Babys at home, totally worth every penny!

That's it! My next laptop!

I have the aero 15 3060 i7. Im extremely happy with the 4k screen and gaming performance. But I’m going to wait until the 5000 or 6000 series to upgrade. By then dlss 4-5 and frame generation will be perfected.

Hello, congratulate you on your analysis, very good. I want to ask you for some advice, I don't know which version of the laptop to buy, the prices are similar but there are different characteristics, I am talking about the GIGABYTE AERO 16 model with RTX 4070 and the GIGABYTE AORUS 17H with RTX 4080, which one do you advise me to buy? I will use it more for creative work and video editing in 4k. I wait your answer.

Thanks for review. Very on point, as usual. The appearance of this thin metal brick really reminded me a Sony Vaio of the olden days.

Slim 5i vs Aero 16 for content creation work? Both 13700H. Whats your pick?

For the white keyboard, it is essential to have RGB lighting. Additionally, a full SD card reader is also required.

Thanks!

Great review! If you had to pick one to be your main laptop, would you pick this new Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED or the Dell XPS 15 9520 OLED from last year? Which one has the better keyboard and trackpad? I'm torn between the two since the Gigabyte has a newer CPU and GPU, but the difference is so minimal that I'm not considering them as a deciding factor. Both are priced the same and very similar overall, but from what I keep hearing, the battery seems to be noticeably better on the Dell.

Really nice machine! Too bad its not available in my country :( When you do the gaming benchmarks, do you take DLSS3 and Frame Gen into account? These features should give earlier 3080 ti models a run for its money.

it just reminds me 2016 MacBook Pros that was only has USB C. Back then, it was seems Brilliant but ended up got criticism

Would love a fan sound test during the "web working battery test" it's silent at Idle, but is it also silent when in basic browsing use?

4:46 does the color "Profile Manager" software work system-wide? Can you tell if it works at the display "hardware" (maybe firmware) level, or the OS level, or only in compatible software? And even if it works system-wide, can we still use ICC profiles on top of that? Thanks!

After having used the 680M integrated GPU for games, I'm interested in power efficiency and the 4050-4070's 35W limits. Is it possible to manually limit TDP to 35W, then benchmark games at that power point?

very nice! Will there be a written review soon too?

Thank you for the review! In your opinion, how is the 16 inch screen on this versus a 17inch one? I have a 17inch 4k laptop that is a few years old that I want to replace, but 15 inch screens are too small for my taste. If a 16 inch screen feels similar to a 17 inch in perception, this laptop might be what I am looking for since it's also available in 4k!

big, bright screen and un-gamery aesthetic. I like it. There are some killer 3070/ti deals right now but DLSS 3 is a game changer. Looking forward to more 4000 series laptop coverage. Going to need lots of reviews to pick the right one if I'm going to be forking out that much money!

Hey does the laptop screen bend on your unit? I saw another review by Matthew Moniz and there's a shot in the video where he lies the screen on a table and all the commenters noticed a bend in the screen. Was wondering if possibly that's a optical illusion or a defect since I'm looking to buy this laptop.

Ordered this just now, open box from leading UK retailer Currys, for a little under £1,400 including delivery. This review massively helped me pull the trigger, as I know this source actually tests laptops hard. I especially appreciated the fan noise clips with the contextual key taps - as someone with significant sound sensitivity, noise levels were definitely a key concern of mine, and it seems like these fans aren't intolerable at all. Although given this specification, and in particular the 4070 efficiency, I may be able to run everything on silent mode for the near future anyway! Thank you!

Vergleich zum MSI M16 Studio wäre sehr interessant. Gerade die einzigen kompakten Performance Laptops wenn man vom nicht upgradefähigen Samsung absieht

Will there be a review of the Aero 14"?

If it wasn't for DLSS 3, most people would not look at this card in that laptop or in the desktops compared to price. I have the aero with the 3060 version and the i7 11th gen oled 4K and it is still a pretty damn impressive laptop since I use it for on the go video editing, 3D modeling, working on Unity, and After Effects. Honestly, I think keeping it at any generation "60" is the best bang for the power. I think no one really games at 4K as I believe the sweet spot is still 1440p. I just can't see the pricing of the new generation cards compared to productivity and gaming. I still own a desktop with i7 8700k, 64 gigs of ram, and the 1080 ti and with Nvidia's new upscale update for the old cards, that desktop is still rocking hard running almost every games extremely well at 1440p when it was meant for 1080p. The desktop I have now has the i7 13th Gen with a 3080 and 32 gigs of ram and honestly, that set up is really, really good. Although I wanted the 3080 ti, it is forever gone. It's cool that a laptop can store the 80 and 90 versions of any cards but honestly, the 60 of any version cards will always be the best when comparing price to power. Anything after that, might as well just get a desktop.

I have last years model. do you have any suggestions on good docking stations to add more ports?

temps? did I miss?

It would be better if I have noise measures with decibels because noise sample are not representative

Did you notice any thermal throttling during long period of gaming ?

Wow, this looks like an actually nice laptop. Nice review as always. Waiting for your next stream! :D

Well Done! Danke.👍

Is it just me? Or does the unused space between the battery and the left speaker imply that Gigabyte could have either included a larger 96Wh battery or more spacious speakers?

Great for 1080 , medium/high specs for 1440!

Really curious about the 16 inch legion pro 4090 as it seems the only 16i 4090 laptop with 175w gpu ive seen so far...

May I suggest a new test ; performance on 100w PD only. For traveling I think alot of people would take into account if they can simply take a small Gan charger that support 100w PD ( or the new 140W )

Are the problems of Oled screens real? Burn-in, flickering, dead pixels over time?

Wahnsinn! In der Geschwindigkeit solchen Quality-Content rauszuhauen. Ich hoffe, du hast Spaß und positiven Stress und erholst dich später genug.

Thank God its not all USB-C ports at least. That's the perfect example of copying the bad part of a MacBook after they did it a few years ago.

which one would you get the ROG Zephyrus M16 (2023) or GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED?

In the written review, a gaming stresstest in Gaming mode or Creator mode produces 55 or 50dB, respectively. Both values are very much louder than your Furmark noise samples suggest. Which is right - the written review or the calibration of your noise samples relative to your voice? I do not think that both can be correct. --robert jasiek

I like this item

Would you guys review the asus studiobook proart 16 non-3d?

The noise level is delightful but I will also consider price, speed, other GPUs and other aspects in comparison to other computers. In particular, OLED likely with PWM is not my preferred choice. --robert jasiek

I'm really interested in understanding the noise levels on this. It was one of the biggest complaints about the previous gen Aero's - "hairdryer" was a phrase I saw used often. My main use case is as an audio production laptop, so I need it to be pretty quite in general. I don't anticipate typically driving it so that it's sweating so hard it needs massive cooling to be going on. I'm interested in understanding how noisy it is at mid level loads. A constant white noise going all the time ( even if it's "quite" ) would be a problem for me in a critical listening environment. My air conditioner is somewhat a a problem for reference - not overly noisy, but certainly also not quiet. The Macbook has no fans and is quiet which is why it's so popular, but I don't want to migrate to Mac - staying with windows. I've got my supplier ready to order a 64GB spec for for me, but I don't want to make a rather expensive mistake and end up regretting it ! Can you expand a bit on the noise as it's difficult to judge how noisy it actually is in the room by looking at those noise samples in the video.

professional review, good job nbc. covering the color spcaes and more in depth details clearly is really important to those of us who arent "gamers"

Good review. It seems Gigabyte is slowly picking up on its mistakes with the previous Aero line. The specs on the 4070 do feel a bit too much like planned obsolescence though, especially in the memory issue. It seems terribly unintuitive to cripple high-res performance on a card like this, when pretty much every machine equiped with it is going to rock at least a 16:10 1440p display, or an outright 4K one. That single core performance might be some driver issue, it seems terribly unlikely that the cooling system could drive the multi-core test that hard but falter in a single core test. 13th gen Intels are performing well, as expected. The speaker test is almost funny, *my god* that's like a different song entirely. Still, I will take bad speakers and stellar screen over the opposite any day of the week. I take my headphones wherever I go, but carting around a monitor kind of misses the point of buying a notebook, eh? Surprising battery life for an Intel chip. Overall, it seems like they sacrificed far less than they did previously, aided in no small amount by the 4070 just not going that high in wattage. I do believe a more experienced builder like Lenovo or Asus could have squeezed out the last ten watts out of the 4070 though- they've delivered higher power limits in similar, or even smaller chassis in the past. I can see something like an art or archtecture studio buying twenty of these for their staff when refreshing their equipment- performance is good enough, the biggest cut corner is audio which, if I'm honest is the easiest one to forgive in a notebook, the screen is excellent for indoor use and the price is probably going to be a few hundred to a thousand dollars less than the rest of the art-focused competition. Of course, you take the OLED screen out of consideration and last gen offers the same performance for a thousand fewer dollars, so one's milage my vary.

Thunder bold missing

Looking forward to the new 2023 4th Gen AMD 7000 with Navi 7000 GPU Advantage laptops.

What is the Nits / Brightness of The OLED Panel?

Are you sure the ram frequency is 5200mhz not 4800mhz

I've come to dislike laptops with dedicated video outputs as they steal at least 2 of the 4 available GPU interfaces from the TB ports. With the Dell XPS17 9710 I can run 4 external 4K monitors @60hz with just 2 TB cables, that wouldn't work with the Aero (despite having 2 TB4 ports) as half of the GPU interfaces are assigned to its video outputs.

I wish the aeros still had numpads

How is the fan noise on this?

Does Gigabyte aero 16 OLED 2023 have one 32GB and one empty module? 6:33 minute

What is the refresh rate?

Battery life sux when doing content creation and surfing at same time. Nice screen though. Luckily it has decent fast charging

I guess with dlss3 we just need a 4060 nowadays, even 4050 might be enough

Why did they toss the numpad away T.T

and.. what about burn-in? is it a problem?

where to buy

I love Gigabyte superior made quality

For Aero 16, it's a big improvement this year. For RTX4070, it's a trap. Both 3070Ti and 4070 performed almost the same without frame generation. It's kind of depends on whether or not buyers want to buy a laptop that has frame generation support. But the price gap between 3070Ti and 4070 is at least $300🤣, which is also a efficient strategy for Nvidia to clean up inventory of 30 series.

It was supposed to be a 4060laptop and Nvidia changed name of it later since AMD couldn't deliver a decent laptop GPU this time. It's memory bus was 128bit as 1050ti,so heavy stuttering in some games. Half memory speed than last gen 4070. But Nvidia is thinking they can fool customers by dlss3 fake frame generation.

If it only had high refresh rate oled, I wouldn't even think about it, i just dont want 60hz after looking so many good options, horrible spakers as well!

Nvidia and Intel are playing very dirty with these laptops ..

Gigabyte seems to not be promoting this model at all...could be a great deal come black friday.

Look slike RTX 4070 is very power efficient and able to perform better than its 3000 series counterparts in low wattage configuration. However, is it only me or other people noticed that RTX 4070 performs lower in higher resolution like in QHD? Probably the 128 Bit memory Bus and lower memory bandwidth of 256GB/s compared to 448 GB/s in RTX 3070 Ti Mobile, is the main culprit here. In my opinion, this year Nvidia is trying do portray a clear disntiction between their higher end Mobile GPUs and the mid-end GPUs, unlike 300 series where it was sometimes within 10% (between a RTX 3070 Ti and and a RTX 3080).

Full keyboard and sd reader is a must on 16 inch.

what about heat ?

For that price easy to buy Legion 7 (5900HX + 3080 (16gb VRAM, hello Hogwarts 11 GB) + 32gb Ram)

The 4070 seems like a scam looking at stats and performance drop off from 4080

Compare PS5 is a oldschool Calculator

No number pad

You would be very happy with the 4070 results? its worse than a 3070ti and more expensive, how do you sleep at night 🌙

This laptop could've been perfect, BUT 60Hz killed it. Should've been at least a 100Hz in this day and age, and considering the GPU it's carrying.

The quality of the speakers completely negates all the positive aspects of this laptop. It sounds like $500, not $2,500.

It's only 60hz

I saw this on sale for like half off but honestly it seemed like garbage. No battery life and everyone was reporting faulty equipment. I got a Legion 7 full AMD. Not to mention the overheating.

8gb vram is too low for 4k gaming

60hz screen in 2023 is a hard pass for me - id rather wait for the asus vivobook 16x pro (120h oled in the very same 16:10 ratio)

Only one USB-A port in an incredibly inconvenient location and no full size SD card reader. No thank you...

who is buying these expensive machines, the price is insane.

4070 is actually less powerful than a 3070ti without dlss3

just 4070 is too far away from 4080

No creator focused if it doesn't even have a full size SD card slot I mean shit even apple has a full SD card slot now. There's no excuses

Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Ultra is a better machine then this in all due respect. I am using one right now, love this thing!

First

Constantly overheating crap. Single contour cooling system, no ability to switch off the OC, as most of the BIOS settings are locked. No buy POS. Oh! Almost forgot. Crappy software and nonexistent support included)

NO THANK YOU

Your youtube channel never had the attention it deserved. Instead of lengthy review videos of selected units you could post thematic videos of every model you review. I'd be interested for a perspective purchase to be able to see a short video of the laptop screen, typing on its keyboard, keyboard flexing stability, keyboard backlight, a short video even 2-3 seconds of the camera quality. You should do it for every model you test. From trashy 300 euro priced units to 7.000 euro overpriced ones.

Terrible value, should be avoided unless on a steep discount. 4070 is garbage gen over gen vs 3070ti

Deutsche sollten bei ihrer Muttersprache bleiben, aber wie es die inder schon erkennt haben: änglisch = mehr clicks

The 4070 will go down in history as the biggest gpu scam don't buy this expensive garbage

You guys do amazing text reviews but this video review is just so bad, no word on dlss 3, no 3d render test like blender, and obviously you don't know how to work with resolve to get such stuttering.

Would you take this over the Zephyrus M16 4080 with the Mini LED screen?
