GIGABYTE Shows Off AORUS and AERO OLED Notebooks Powered by 13th Gen Core and RTX 40-series

The AORUS brand of GIGABYTE originated with gaming notebooks. At the 2023 International CES, AORUS presented a large number of gaming notebooks covering various market-segments, powered by the latest-generation 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" mobile processors, and GeForce RTX 40-series "Ada" Laptop GPUs. The AORUS 17X (17-inch) and AORUS 15X (15-inch) are the company's key performance gaming notebooks. Both come with 1440p Fast IPS 240 Hz displays, and rock an Intel Core i7-13700HX 8P+8E processor. The company didn't specify the GPU model in use, but we expect options to range from the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, all the way up to the RTX 4090 Laptop GPU. 16 GB dual-channel DDR5-4800 memory, and 1 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSDs make for the rest of the specs.

GIGABYTE has a special treat for creators on the move, with the AERO 16 OLED (16-inch) and AERO 14 OLED (14-inch). As their names suggest, they feature OLED displays. These come with 16:10 aspect-ratio displays. The 14-inch model rocks a 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution, and the 16-inch one does 3840 x 2400 pixels. Both displays are Samsung AMOLED sourced, and Pantone validated for a very wide color gamut. The 14-inch model is powered by a Core i7-13700HX 8P+8E processor and 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory; while the 16-inch model rocks a Core i9-13900H 6P+8E processor with 32 GB of DDR5-4800 memory. Both come with a variety of RTX 40-series Laptop GPU options, and 1 TB of Gen 4 NVMe storage.

It probably won't be that bad because the mobile 4090 isn't a 4090 at all. It will probably be outperformed quite significantly by the desktop 4070Ti, based on TDP, VRAM bandwidth, core count and clocks combined. Imagine a 4080 running without the benefit of GDDR6X, and throttled to 1500MHz clocks. It'll be fast by laptop standards, but that's because TSMC 4nm is better than Samsung 8nm. As always, the problem with laptops is physics; There's only so much heat you can transfer from fins to air in the limited space of a laptop chassis.

Nvidia have officially listed it as an 80-150W part, but these laptops like all of the Gigabyte models of this thickness to date will be 90W at most. The 150W parts will be in the 45mm-thick, chungus models with 2kg power brick(s)

if its the same as the current lineup, the oled one will be limited to 60fps, which is a pass for me.

Should've been 120.
