The Gigabyte Aero 14 is an understated 14-inch gaming and multimedia laptop that brings full desktop gaming performance in a package that weighs less than 2kg. But its real trick is that it's the first gaming laptop we've seen to offer near all-day...

The gaming Ultrabook we've always wanted
Lightweight and thin design ; Competitively priced ; 190-degree display hinge
Battery life isn’t as long as promised ; Loaded with bloatware
The Gigabyte Aero 14 is neither the lightest nor the thinnest gaming laptop around, but it’s the most affordable machine in its class.

Gigabyte was showing off its gaming ultrabook range at this year's Computex and they were eye-catching to say the least. Fantastic specs combined with super long battery life make for real competitors in this area.

Compact portable gamer. Gigabyte's 14-inch device can display all current games smoothly onto its matte IPS display. It is equipped with an NVMe-SSD, 16 GB of RAM and Thunderbolt 3. Furthermore, the device can also boast great battery runtimes.

Gigabyte's compact gamer can display all current computer games on its matte QHD screen, but buyers will have to forego the highest quality settings. The GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics core offers too little performance for this. Gigabyte's 14-inch...

Breezy marathon runner. The Aero 14 is Gigabyte's first attempt at a mobile gaming laptop. The recipe for this seems quite simple, really. Start with high-end hardware, a well-made aluminum case, add a WQHD display and season to taste with a...
light and compact ; solid, well-made metal case ; very sensible ports ; good Wi-Fi performance ; USB-Ethernet adapter included ; programmable macro keys ; very good keyboard feel ; strong touchpad ; no PWM ; Nvidia Optimus ; fast NVMe SSD ; quiet when...
no Thunderbolt 3 ; non-removable battery ; keyboard layout takes some getting used to ; key legends hard to read ; display too dark for its price ; no G-Sync ; medium fan revs produce annoying whining noise
So, is everything hunky-dory? Well, almost. Most of the items on our cons list will probably be irrelevant to the typical Aero 14 consumer. However, the constant fan whining at medium revs is very annoying, and Gigabyte urgently needs to address this...
