Chassis, connections, screen of the Gigabyte Aero X16 1WH93FRC64AH

Cooled by 2 fans (12V), this versatile laptop targeting gamers and creators with an angular Space Gray design has a relatively discreet gamer look.

This multimedia gaming laptop PC offers correct connectivity with its Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, its Ethernet and audio ports, its practical HDMI video output for easily connecting it to a TV or monitor for example as well as its USB 4 Type-C providing fast transfers in addition to 2 USB 3.2 and 1 USB 2.0 for connecting various peripherals.
However, it is regrettable at this price level not to find more recent wireless connectivity (such as Bluetooth 5.3/.4) but also that classic USBs do not offer higher speeds. The presence of a USB 2.0 under a 2025 gaming laptop is to say the least (negatively) surprising when the brand could have offered 3 USB 3.2…

In any case, those who wish can authenticate themselves biometrically using the Windows Hello functionality and the infrared technology of the webcam since it allows facial recognition.

The chiclet keyboard obviously has a backlighting system that you simply activate when you need to better discern the keys, typically in the dark.
On the other hand, it does not include a numeric keypad, a feature that is standard from 15 inches. Those who regularly enter numbers will surely regret it.

To appeal to gamers, the screen adopts a refresh rate of 165Hz higher than the 60Hz standard which ensures much greater overall fluidity, including in games.
Suitable for High Definition content, the 2.5K screen whose 16/10th format is higher than the classic 16/9th displays more elements benefits from significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles due to its IPS technology while its sRGB colorimetry is more faithful than average – but this is an expected minimum given the positioning of this computer.
Thanks to its anti-reflective coating, the screen also ensures better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

Performance, autonomy of the Gigabyte Aero X16 1WH93FRC64AH

The Gigabyte Aero

Driven by a recent Ryzen AI 7 350 AMD processor Krackan Point with Artificial Intelligence capabilities equipped with 8 cores and an integrated Radeon 860M graphics solution, supported by a good amount of 32 GB RAM, this laptop delivers good overall power which will delight demanding users.

Creative people in particular will appreciate obtaining faster processing thanks to this core than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5, the difference being particularly notable in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources using multi-core and AI, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

Creators will be all the more interested as the dedicated onboard GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card provides graphics acceleration of multimedia processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, Vegas or VSDC.

However, the GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing is a high-end dedicated graphics card from the latest generation of NVIDIA Blackwell designed for demanding players. Thanks to the GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing, gamers can indeed play their favorite games.
This is all the more appreciable since playing in 2.5K requires more graphics calculations than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps. Precisely here the TDP of the GeForce RTX 5070 is restricted due to the thinness of the chassis. Consequently, under the most demanding titles in 3D resources, concessions may be necessary to obtain good gameplay.

The laptop does not constantly use the GeForce RTX 5070 ray tracing. This GPU is in fact activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically in real time depending on the tasks performed.
And this in cases where Optimus considers that the performance of the Radeon 860M proves insufficient to perform the desired tasks.

If watching HD photos and videos is obviously possible under this versatile multimedia laptop, whether with the GeForce RTX 5070 or the Radeon 860M, the latter, whose performance is much lower, is nevertheless favored as much as possible by Optimus. Because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.

The autonomy represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration since it is around 8 hours on battery in light use. This is all the more appreciable since with its finesse and controlled weight, this computer is as easily transportable as an Ultrabook. Some looking for a Student laptop AI-oriented multimedia performing well in gaming and creation may be interested.

On the storage side, Gigabyte offers 2 slots for M.2 SSDs, one of which is available to increase capacity if necessary.
The basic integrated SSD, however, offers 1000 GB, a very comfortable capacity for installing and storing multiple games, software and files – including personal creations if desired.

The SSD helps ensure rapid arrival on the cards of online games or even launches of games/software which are carried out quickly like starts/stops and multimedia processing.
Because in addition to being energy efficient, silent and shock resistant, the SSD is very fast. Its presence provides great responsiveness/fluidity on a daily basis.

Finally, when pushed hard (e.g. games, treatments), this versatile multimedia AI-oriented gaming laptop PC heats up and is noisy.
A ventilated support can be associated with it if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
