Product Overview

Gigabyte AORUS 15G is a 15.6-inch ultra-premium, ultra-portable gaming laptop that features mechanical keyboard, up to 300Hz IPS display with 72% NTSC wide gamut, 10th-gen Intel Core i9-10980HK processor, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics --- all in a chassis under 1-inch in thickness.

Gigabyte markets several other gaming laptops in the same generation: the mid-range AORUS 5 and AORUS 7, the ultra-portable AORUS 15P, the 17-inch version of the AORUS 15G, the AORUS 17G, and the flagship AORUS 17X.

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

Gigabyte's Aorus 15G has an eight-core Intel processor, upper-midrange RTX 2070 Super with Max-Q GPU. The Omron B3KL low-profile switches are tactile and clicky, though relatively quiet. The 15G is a chunky laptop, so it's not a great pick if you're looking for something for regular travel.

Pros

Fast 240Hz refresh rate
Solid build quality
Great battery life

Cons

Chunky design
Chunky power supply

Reviewers from laptopmag have found:

The Aorus 15G is packing a brand spankin' new CPU, aka the Intel Core i7-10875H processor with 16GB of RAM. It juggled 40 Google Chrome tabs and five 1080p YouTube videos without flinching. It transcoded a 4K video to 1080p in 7 minutes and 59 seconds on our HandBrake benchmark.

Pros

Sleek design
Strong performance
Solid battery life

Cons

Mediocre speakers
Dim display

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found:

The laptop has enough computing power for all common application areas. The system works well and smoothly, and we didn't encounter any problems. The two fans are usually not quiet in idle usage. Idle sound pressure levels of up to 38 dB(A) are quite high. The fans really turn up under load.

Pros

Matte IPS display
Good battery life
NVMe SSD

Cons

No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The Aorus 15G is capable of maintaining triple-digit frame rates in demanding titles. It's not the thinnest high-end gaming notebook out there, but the extra few tenths of an inch buys room for a fantastic keyboard. The Aorus has the right pricing on the 15G, especially the top-end model we tested.

Pros

Gorgeous 240Hz display
Excellent battery life
Comfortable keyboard

Cons

No G-Sync
No webcam

Reviewers from tomshardware have found:

The Gigabyte Aorus 15G XB is an excellent laptop for gamers where input is a priority. With just a little bit of extra chunk, it manages to fit an almost desktop-caliber mechanical keyboard into its frame. It suffers from poor audio fidelity as well as subpar display brightness and color coverage, but a high refresh rate keeps the screen from being irrelevant when placed alongside rivals. The $2,699 price tag on the model we tested is about dead even with the Aorus, however.

Pros

Great productivity performance
Long battery life
Great keyboard

Cons

Poor webcam placement
Poor audio fidelity

Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from trustedreviews have found:

The Aorus 15G is available in two distinct configurations. Prices begin at £1699 and plateau at £2899, with my review model costing a modest £2000. Given the 1080p resolution, the RTX 2070 Super was able to handle all of the games I threw at it on maximum settings. It’s capable of maintaining a number of applications and tasks outside of playing games at any given time.

Pros

Excellent gaming performance
Solid build quality
Decent battery life

Cons

Keyboard is flimsy
Keyboard isn’t included
