Gigabyte Aero 17: A gorgeous 4K

laptop that finally makes sense

Power users looking to ditch tiny laptop screens. BY GORDON MAH UNG

I

f you’re squinting at this review from your

tiny 13-inch laptop screen, you may be

like the many people who started

working from home a few weeks ago

and realized that portability means nothing if

you’re going blind using a tiny screen.

Gigabyte’s Aero 17 has the answer, by

offering superb performance and a gorgeous,

17.3-inch UHD 4K HDR 400 panel to boot.

Never mind that the laptop also features

Intel’s newest 10th-gen, 8-core, Core

i7-10875H Comet Lake H CPU (go.pcworld.

com/875h) and Nvidia’s stellar GeForce RTX

2070 Super Max-Q GPU.

A 4K LAPTOP THAT

MAKES SENSE

We haven’t been big fans of 4K displays on

smaller laptops, as the hit on battery life

typically hasn’t been worth the pixel-density
