Gigabyte has set different priorities for the new 16-inch models. While the "Aero X16" is designed to impress with its display and performance, the "Gaming A16" offers solid features for classic gaming.
Gigabyte offers two 16-inch notebooks, the «Aero X16 RTX 5070» and the «Gaming A16 RTX 5060», which differ significantly in terms of features and orientation. Both come with 32 gigabytes of RAM and a one terabyte SSD, but differ in terms of display, processor and graphics.
«Aero X16 RTX 5070»
The «Aero X16» weighs 1.9 kilograms and is just under 17 millimetres high. The display has a resolution of 2560 × 1600 pixels, employees at 165 hertz and fully covers the sRGB colour space. This also makes it suitable for tasks where colour accuracy is crucial.
Inside is a «AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370» processor with an additional NPU for AI calculations. Gigabyte has installed an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU as the graphics card. It employees with up to 85 watts and thus offers enough power for computationally intensive software and current gaming.
The equipment includes Dolby Atmos speakers, an IR camera for Windows Hello and a single-key RGB keyboard. The memory can be expanded to up to four terabytes via two M.2 slots.
«Gigabyte Gaming A16 RTX 5060»
The «Gaming A16» is somewhat heavier and larger, weighing 2.2 kilograms and measuring up to 22.9 millimetres in height. The display also offers 1920 × 1200 pixels at 165 hertz. The colour space coverage is 45 per cent NTSC, which is sufficient for gaming but has limitations for professional media work.
Here, an «Intel Core i7-13620H» works together with a «Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060» laptop GPU. The graphics card reaches a maximum of 75 watts. This puts the performance below the Aero model, but remains competitive for common games in the 16-inch format.
The features include a monochrome backlit keyboard, Dolby Atmos sound, a Full HD webcam and the same expansion options via two M.2 slots.
Short classification
The Aero X16 offers the higher display level and more computing power while remaining compact and light. The Gaming A16 relies on simpler display technology and lower graphics performance, but is somewhat more robust and equipped with an Intel processor.
