GAMING SPECIAL

This model doesn’t last anywhere near as long.
Playing a looped video at 120cd/m^2 brightness, the
Gigabyte Aero 15X only lasts three hours, 55 minutes.
That’s six hours less than the old model.
It makes us wonder whether our review model
doesn’t have the 94Wh battery Gigabyte advertises for
this new range. Even the GTX 1070 and a bump to 4K
screen resolution shouldn’t drain the battery this much.

Verdict
The Gigabyte Aero 15X is a tremendous gaming
laptop for those who want something they can carry
around the house easily or take around to use as a
day-to-day laptop. Its 4K screen is fantastic, while the
build quality is good as it has perfect performance
for 1080p gaming. It’ll even handle some titles at 4K

The Aero 15X offers
