Gigabyte aorus event May 2018

Yesterday Monday we were at the event organized by the Gigabyte Aorus laptop team. They took advantage of the morning and afternoon to show us the renovation of all their portable equipment and how they have organized their series. Especially we will talk about the new Gigabyte Aero 15 Here we go!

The new Aero 15 falls in love

Among its novelties we find the incorporation of a 40 Gbps Thunderbolt connection, dual M.2 PCI Express or SATA slot, Pantone X-Rite certification in all its IPS Full HD 144 Hz panels and 4K range caps. It has dimensions 356 x 250 x 18.9 mm and a weight of only 2.04 kg.

Both the Gigabyte Aero 14 and Aero 15 / Aero 15X incorporate the new i7-8750H processor with 6 cores and 12 logical threads. As you already know it offers 50% more performance than the last generation (Intel Kaby Lake). And it is ideal for both gaming and multi-tasking .

The sound has also been enhanced with Dolby Atmos technology, thus offering a much more immersive sound and ideal for gaming. In addition to being compatible with high-end headphones.

This keyboard incorporates anti-Ghosting technologies and RGB key lighting throughout its series, except for the Aero 14, which as we saw in our analysis, only one color can be selected.

Gigabyte promises us a autonomy of 10 hours with mixed use. Obviously while we play, these values ​​will drop dramatically. But its 94.2 wH is life insurance for long trips. In addition, if we do not have a plug nearby, we can charge it with a powerbank (especially for a laptop), so it is a factor to take into account.

Promising Aorus X9 DT

They also gave us a sneak peek at their brown beast Aorus X9 DT with i9-8950HK processor, DDR4 So-DIMM memory, Nvidia GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X, 17.3-inch display with 144Hz refresh rate and 7ms answer. As expected it is also X-Rite certified and incorporates Thunderbolt 3.0 technology

We could also see the catalog of motherboards, graphics cards and peripherals of the brand

It paints very well its four fan cooling system and its thickness of 29.9 mm and 3.59 kg. Will it match the rest of the competition's titans? Until we try it we won't know! (Wink, wink, elbow, elbow).

We concluded the event by talking and sharing impressions with the rest of the press / youtubers and those responsible for Gigabyte Spain. As every year, we thank Unai for the invitation to the event and her kindness in welcoming us.
