GIGABYTE AERO 16 XE5: 16" 4K/UHD+ Samsung AMOLED, Intel Core i7-12700H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, Win11 Home (AERO 16 XE5-73US934HH)

Day1: Opened my Aero 16, the new 4K Amoled screen is definitely the identity of this laptop, I played Kena & Bridge of Spirit on it, and it's absolutely a feast to the eyes with this screen. but then I ran into a problem, which I am very much concerned that it may not happen again.Problem: After first usage; I turned off the computer; and once I turned it on again for the 2nd session; I launched the game, and it started to lag so much. I wondered what happened, Long story short, I discovered that Nvidia GPU i.e. RTX 3070Ti stopped showing up; nightmare!! I thought may be the drivers are disabled, but it disappeared even from the bios, grieving it was as it sounded. I completely made my mind that I can't compromise on the reliability of the machine and the negative reviews about this machine were actually true.Solution I found: While it was turned off: I held down the power button for 15 seconds to drain all of it's power and turned it back on. The gpu started to show again.Day2: The Aero16 is doing fine so far, Today I played 2 hours of games and few play around with it's Gigabyte Control Centre. Didn't face any issues today.Other Thoughts:I upgraded from Legion 5 Pro 2021 with Ryzen 5800H and RTX 3070, Now R7 5800H has a base clock of 3.2 and boost clock of 4.0 Ghz. And that is obvious when using this 12700H. despite the hype for it's multi threading performance, I can say with surety that Ryzen 7 5800H is way better processor for multi tasking and generally swift computing. 12700H reaches higher temps quickly and so far I haven't found it any good other than on paper and the YT reviewers suggesting that it's better, It doesn't seems so.. to me.Anyway,I am hesitating to make it my primary laptop, however I'd never know unless I give it a shot. Will post case in case anything unusual comes again.Edit: March 06 2023:Now I am a fan of this laptop, I came from Legion 5 Pro, 12700H isn't the same on battery as it is on AC Power, Ryzen on the other are better CPUs for both AC/Batteries, however on paper 12700H is newer so who cares; It's been running well for the past 3 months with no issues whatsoever. I am happy with this laptop, and don't think that 2023 variant of this is a major upgrade, RTX 4070 has 128bit memory bus as compared to 256bit bus in RTX3070 Ti which is a significant plus for raw performance.Thanks for reading.

The product is failing on me and I tried everything including formatting the system, it the technical issues persist.

Received with damaged monitor,low quality materials

This is an all around solid laptop. As you are probably aware if you are looking at it, its best feature is the large amount of compute. My version has an i7-12700H and 3070 Ti. I have had no stability or power supply issues with the CPU and GPU. The CPU uses remarkably little power compared to previous generations. The battery capacity is large, and I have measured no degradation in six months of extensive use. The screen is clear and bright, though apparently slightly non-flat; this is not perceptible in ordinary use. One small bonus for me: the fans exhaust from the sides of the laptop, as opposed to the back (onto the screen) -- this can prevent some heat exposure when used in the lap.If you are planning to install Linux, consider the following caveats. The keyboard does not appear to be HID-compliant, so some of the shortcut keys on the function numbers (e.g. screen brightness controls and airplane mode) do not work with out of the box keyboard drivers. The included USB-C hub has an HDMI output but does not appear to be totally DisplayPort compliant; detection of an additional monitor by Ubuntu is hit or miss. Other USB-C to HDMI converters work fine here.Gigabyte appears to have solved these problems on the Windows side with some custom software. Windows works fantastically on this laptop; if you are not planning to install Linux, the entire preceding paragraph is not relevant.

I have used the computer for 3 months and it has been great. Maybe the disk is not enough, but I will update it. The battery, it does not last too long, which is normal considering the processor it has. On the other hand, the performance is optimal, it has not given me problems. The temperatures are usually high, so I recommend using UXTU to limit the load. But on average, the computer is complete for the price that was acquired. I highly recommend the store, the product arrived well packed and arrived perfect.

Hasta ahora me ha dado muy buen rendimiento.El teclado se siente muy bien al tacto.La pantalla se ve bastante bien, pero no interpreta bien toda la gama de verdes.Las bocinas no son buenas 😢

(OWNED FOR 1 FULL YEAR)This Laptop is not only single handedly saved me through CQ shifts and staff duty shifts but i've also been using this thing just for average gaming when I get home from work. Heres your Pros and COns.Pros:- 3080 TI Is powerful as hell.- Fans all through the whole thing and is relatively quiet.- The Cheapest/Best laptop You will find ANYWHERE. (Im in South Korea and theres nothing this cheap here.)Cons:- Battery Life is sub-par.- Camera can be a little glitchy.- NO DISPLAY PORTS (This nis somthing that annoyed me a bit but you can just ger a Mini-display to a display port splitter so not a problem.Overall Worth Every penny. Wouldn't change my mind ever about it.

Me encantó! Llevo una semana con la laptop y después de probar varias computadoras ideales para mi profesión (diseñador gráfico) esta pequeña mounstro me ha dejado maravillada. Su potencia, su nivel de gráficos, su resolución y su pantalla es mucho de lo que valoro al trabajar.Es ligera, de buen tamaño, su teclado es agradable al tacto pero viene en americano pero te acostumbras (hablando del teclado latino, no trae Ñ), pantalla de cristal que tiene colores 100% rgb ideal para creativos, aun estoy probando la batería pero hasta el momento me ha aguantado de 4 a 5 horas de trabajo.Por mi trabajo uso Mac y el windows 11 que trae pre instalado me ha sido muy fácil adaptarme.
