GIGABYTE AERO 17 - 17.3" 4K/UHD IPS - Intel Core i7-10870H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU 8 GB GDDR6 - 32 GB Memory - 1 TB PCIe SSD - Windows 10 Pro - Gaming Laptop (AERO 17 HDR XC-8US4450SP)

Pros: - 4k HDR OLED screen is second to none - Deep, rich, vibrant colors, accurate too - great keyboard feel and travel, like the old ~12-15 macbook pros (before they were ruined) - smaller than most trackpad (i have huge fingers and constantly hit the touchpad on an m1 mac) - 150W GPU TDP under full load (it goes so fast, way faster than I expected)

Cons: - The power port on the right side sucks. - The speakers are tinny and bad - the microphone array is also quite terrible - The webcam on the keyboard might as well not even exist.

Overall Review: It's a great laptop, its well built, it's got a 150W GPU.

Pros: 4k hdr screen like the feel of the mousepad fingerprint reader

Cons: secondary key functions are not lit keyboard lighting doesnt seem to have very much control on color no keyboard lock indicators the usb c port would not output video signal

Overall Review: i was really hoping to like this laptop but the usb c not outputting a video signal is a huge issue for me. i have already sent it back for warranty and am not thrilled about having to pay to ship it back to the manufacturer after only a week for warranty. no updates or drivers were able to fix the issue with the video output.

Pros: Looks nice. Lightweight. Decent performance in games

Cons: poor performance in default Intel gpu, effecting all windows apps

Overall Review: includes two GPUs by default - a low powered Intel gpu, and the 3070 that's advertised. In all things (windows interface for example) the intel gpu is used, intended to save battery, but which results in poor, choppy experience, even when plugged in. You can set windows to use the nvidia gpu for specific EXE's, but not across the board. Had to figure this all out on my own, because reaching out to support was pointless. I had to wait 2 weeks for a response, and their response was to blame it on the fact that the LCD was 4k and had a lower refresh rate... what?

Pros: None

Cons: It broke after a month and getting a response from support takes a week plus theres a lot of back and forth so its been broken for a month and the issue hasn't been resolved.

Overall Review: By far the worst experience i've ever had with a laptop and company. I will NEVER purchase a gigabyte product again.

Pros: Works perfect

Overall Review: Best laptop
