After Intel and NVIDIA launched a new generation of CPUs and GPUs, various laptop brands began to launch e-sports and creator laptop models equipped with the latest hardware. This time, the editor will bring you a Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED laptop. This model is also positioned as creator laptops. It has almost the same hardware specifications and configuration as AERO 17 HDR, but it has better portability and mobility of 15.6-inch laptops.
AERO 15 OLED and AERO 17 HDR belong to the same series of laptop products, so the same design elements are also continued in the appearance design. They are made of a whole aluminum alloy CNC cutting material, and the double-texture material is matched with mirror-dividing lines, giving a simple and neat visual feeling. The AERO brand logo on the screen is made of mirror material and has a white breathing light configuration.
The end of the notebook is equipped with two heat dissipation holes on the left and right ends. The AERO metal nameplate in the center is also equipped with two white LED light sources, which makes people feel like a car license plate.
AERO 15 OLED The built-in lithium battery has a weight of 2.184Kg, which is actually not a lightweight configuration, and the body thickness is 20mm.

video lens under the keyboard is a Windows Precision trackpad configuration and a built-in fingerprint sensor, which can be used with Windows Hello for safe login for biological identification. The trackpad also supports a variety of gesture operations and multi-touch functions. It has to be said that when I recently used the trackpad of Windows laptops, I found that it is indeed much easier to use than the trackpad in previous years. Although due to the operating system, the flexibility of operation is still not as good as that of the MacBook trackpad, the improvement is really obvious.

Battery performance
After testing the AERO 17 HDR XB creator's laptop, we then tested this AERO 15 OLED XB. To be honest, there is no obvious difference in appearance design, hardware specifications and configuration to performance. Simply put, you can regard the AERO 15 OLED XB as the OLED monitor version, and the smaller screen and body sizes make the AERO 15 OLED more portable and mobility. If you want to say the obvious difference, it should be that the memory and hard disk specifications are not used, high-end components like AERO 17 HDR will have an impact on the performance of drawing or rendering, and of course it will also affect the overall laptop performance.
AERO 15 OLED XB is also positioned as a creator laptop series, and it is no problem to use it for games or multimedia audio and video entertainment. However, in the actual operation of 3A games, it is still recommended that you adjust the resolution to Full HD to get a better gaming experience. As for the multimedia audio and video entertainment part, the 4K OLED display is paired with Nahimic 3 sound technology, which is also OK to deal with the increasingly popular 4K audio and video content.
