Best Notebook 2019, Best choice for Content Creators.
Awarded by European Hardware Association on May 27th, GIGABYTE AERO15 won the category for “Best Notebook 2019”. Being a leader in the IT industry, GIGABYTE now introduces the new AERO, in a completely re-engineered full Aluminium chassis, soon to be available with a stunning 4K Samsung AMOLED display, a laptop dream for those craving a luxury visual experience during the process of content creation or entertainment.
Xrite™Pantone® Colour Calibrated Samsung AMOLED Display Panel
Not only does the screen support 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, offering 25% wider range of colours than the traditional sRGB, it also meets the VESA Display HDR 400 standard, producing more details than the traditional LCD. Also, all AERO series laptops are Xrite™ Pantone® calibrated and certified before they leave the factory. In contrast to the industry norm of only calibrating a few laptop samples, GIGABYTE shines in this sector and insists on calibrating each and individual laptop, ensuring that every AERO user experiences the most accurate colours possible.
Ultra Power, Efficiency, Ultimate Portable Workstation
As with previous generations, the all new AERO 15 remains a processing powerhouse. The highest configuration comes with Intel® Core™ i9-9980HK processor and NVIDA GeForce RTX™ 2080 graphics chip. Additional flavours include Corei7-9750H paired with RTX2060 and RTX2070 Enthusiast GPUs, and also GTX1660Ti, giving access to the product across a wide range of price points. High performance and premium components massively increase the creator’s work efficiency and it’s all neatly packed inside a light (2kg) and thin (2cm) chassis. Portability is not compromised, even with such powerful performance, you can still achieve all-day battery usage.
Variety of Connection Ports | Personalise Your Workstation
Content creators generally need multiple external devices to aid their work performance. Not restricted by its thin and light chassis, all the new AERO series laptops are offering more connection port options than its competitors. Besides the usual USB Type-A (three ports), comes the addition of HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4 for image outputs, Thunderbolt 3 and an ultra-fast UHS-II SD card reader that drastically decreases the transfer time by delivering files up to 12 times faster than a traditional SD card reader. Deadlines to catch? AERO shortens the waiting time for you.
From external displays, high-speed file transfers, external storage to external graphics, all-new AERO takes it all in its self-assured stride.
Thanks to the NVIDIA Studio Drivers artists, creators and developers get the best performance and reliability. To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond.
