Gigabyte announces new RTX 30 series powered Aero and Aorus notebooks

With CES 2021 currently on the go, the focus from hardware firms is clearly on notebooks given AMD, Intel and Nvidia have announced components designed for mobile solutions.

That means we can look forward to new notebooks from the likes of Gigabyte which has detailed its forthcoming releases power by Nvidia RTX 30 series GPUs that introduce a third-generation Max-Q design. This should lead to thin and light notebooks that pack a lot performance.

The new models fall into the Aorus and Aero lineups with a range of configurations available depending on your needs.

Let’s start with the gaming-focused Aorus series.

The top of the pops here is the Aorus 17G which sports a 17.3inch Full HD (1920 x 1080), 300Hz IPS LCD display. As for internals you can expect to find up to a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 H-series CPU and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q GPU. The notebook even features a keyboard with Omron switches.

Gigabyte is seemingly taking full advantage of Nvidia’s Ampere tech here with each of the Aorus notebooks featuring a high refresh rate monitor. This likely due to the firm working with G2 Esports to engineer the perfect gaming solution.

We’ve outlined key features within each notebook in the Aorus series below.
