Aero 15 OLED isn't strictly a gaming laptop, though who could blame you for wanting to put the RTX 2070 Max-Q into play during a lunch break? Gaming at 1080p is silky smooth in modern titles with in-game quality settings cranked-up to maximum. 1440p is a little more tricky - you'll need to lower some settings to achieve the desired 60fps - and the native 2160p is a step too far for this particular GPU.

There's plenty of gaming potential and Gigabyte is equally proud of the fact that the Aero 15 OLED is one of the first officially-certified RTX Studio laptops. Though GPU-accelerated creative workloads are nothing new, support for real-time ray tracing and dedicated Studio Drivers all add to the appeal, particularly for those who like to render video while out and about.
