More powerful and upgraded gaming laptops have arrived. With each model, users will be able to choose the configuration according to their budget and needs.
GIGABYTE Shows AORUS Master 16 With Up To RTX 5090, AERO X16 With Up To Ryzen 9 HX 465+RTX 5070, and Gaming A18 PRO With Raptor Lake Refresh
Hardware and laptop maker GIGABYTE has introduced its latest lineup of gaming laptops, which utilize the flagship AMD Zen 5-based chips, as well as the newly released Gorgon Point CPUs, for its enthusiast and mainstream models. Moreover, an Intel Raptor Lake Refresh-based model has also been launched, offering high-end RTX 50 series GPUs for high-performance gaming.
Starting with the flagship offering, the new AORUS Master 16 AM6J gaming laptop was revealed at CES, which offers up to AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D CPU, the strongest gaming mobile chip available with 16-cores and 32 threads. The laptop brings four different configurations, out of which three bring the 9955HX3D for extreme performance, while the fourth model adapts the high-performance Ryzen 9 8940HX from the Zen 4 family.
Users will have the option to choose up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU, and there will be other high-end options such as RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU as well. Other specs mostly remain the same, including the display, which boasts a 16-inch OLED screen, featuring 2560x1600 resolution with up to 240 Hz refresh rate. The AORUS Master 16 brings an enhanced WindForce Infinity EX Cooling technology, which offers up to 230 Watts of thermal capacity for sustaining high performance without any throttling.
With 4x 2W speakers, this laptop can provide immersive audio delivery and supports Dolby Atmos. For connectivity, a 1G LAN, WiFi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 are provided, and with a 99Wh battery, this laptop can run for hours. The AERO X16, on the other hand, brings a modest configuration, featuring the latest Ryzen AI 400 chips. Users can choose between the Ryzen AI 7 450, Ryzen AI 9 465, and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, which are decently powerful CPUs for intensive tasks. When paired with GPUs like RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 laptop GPUs, these will be sufficient to provide a smooth gameplay experience on ultra settings.
The third one is the GAMING A18 PRO, which offers two different configurations, both featuring the 10-core Intel Core 7 240H, paired with either GeForce RTX 5080 or RTX 5070 Ti laptop GPU. This model brings a bigger 18-inch IPS display with a 1600p resolution and a refresh rate of 165 Hz. Its battery life is 76 Wh, which is the same as you will find on the AERO X16 models. Pricing and availability will be announced by GIGABYTE in the near future.
