The new AERO laptop from GIGABYTE for content creators
The new AERO range of laptops from GIGABYTE is aimed at 'content creators' and include the 15.6 "AERO 15 OLED, AERO 15, and the 17.3" AERO 17.
The all new AERO laptops feature Intel® Core i9, 8 core processors, with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs. Weighing just 2kg and housed within a 2cm thick chassis, users can expect around 8.5 hours of battery life per full charge.
For photographers, the AERO series also feature Xrite Pantone colour-correction certificated Samsung AMOLED displays. The AERO 15 OLED is based on a 4K Samsung display that supports 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, offering 25% wider range of colours than traditional sRGB.
All AERO series laptops are Xrite Pantone calibrated and certified before they leave the factory.
GIGABYTE state that software testing has been performed with many of the tools used by creators, including Adobe creative suite, WACOM digital drawing boards, and Thunderbolt 3 external storage devices. Their tests showed that the AERO 15 OLED perfomed 18% faster than competitors during a Photoshop speed test.
According to GIGABYTE, the testing ensures users can 'create their work smoothly and stress-free, saving time on finding the right compatible hardware/software, further improving work efficiency, and of course enhancing creativity.'
With a design cue coming from science fiction movies, the bodies are made of CNC aluminum, and 'embellished with a premium touch of design flare using “NIL” nanoimprint lithography.'
There's also plenty of ports: besides the usual USB Type-A (three ports), comes the addition of HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 for image outputs, Thunderbolt 3, and a UHS-II SD card reader.
Cooling is handled by two fans that consist of 71 blades, 5 full copper heat pipes, 11 intake and exhaust vents and an added touch of thermal paste from Thermal Grizzly.
