it's not a new brand, I saw it at IT show before, but Gamepro doesn't sell it anymore, might be quality issue or something

Yes Gigabyte gaming notebook is not a new brand. Last time was sold exclusive at Gamepro only.

But now relaunch by Corbell as the authorised distributor. For user, you have more places to purchase Gigabyte notebook now.

I have been using the Gigabyte Aero 15 for a while and it is a good system that ticks off all my requirements of portability, speed, functionality, sleekness. Price is abit rich but is understandable given what this laptop can provide.

Very good especially for content creators with inclusion of a fast speed card reader.

Is the keyboard layout same as APEX15 which makes it difficult for typing?

Gigabyte Aero 15x review by HWZ!

https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/rev...otebook-review-small-improvements-go-long-way

"The Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 has all the makings of a great laptop. It improves on its predecessor in meaningful ways, adding in a higher refresh rate display, N-key rollover, and a faster UHS-II card reader. In doing so, it sticks to the same formula that made the original so good, boasting a slim and light aluminum chassis and seriously impressive battery life.

Given how crowded the field is today with laptops like the Razer Blade and MSI GS65 Stealth Thin, battery life is really what helps the laptop stand out. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it is the best out there, and the Aero 15X is really one of the rare few gaming laptops that can spend a reasonable amount of time away from a power socket."

Most ultra thin bezel designed notebooks come with rather similar keyboard that actually fits into the small footprint of the notebook. It's more of a personal preference, but you may wish to try out on the display unit that is available at Challenger Bugis Flagship Store or at Challenger JEM.

yes it is more or less the same layout

however nearly all laptops use that layout (theres some from asus etc that have a gap between numpad and the other half of the keyboard to isolate arrow keys more, but you have to look for those models)

these 2 machines merely have the keyboard edge to edge, because the slim bezel design means the entire device's total width is diminished.

Thanks both!...

gamepro discounts their Aorus products by around 200-300 SGD during IT fairs

so have to decide if you look at the price as it is now, and imagine it were about 200+ bucks cheaper, does that make it fall within your range? cos if not then no point wait for IT fair also...

Gamepro already abandoned Gigabyte, Challenger may have different thought on pricing.

If only thinking about the spec, for business use, might be ok. For gaming, I will go for Apex-15.

hm interesting, i still recall seeing them sell aorus stuff only a few months back

when challenger started selling msi gaming laptops, the brand did become a bit more visible. i think for gigabyte the main challenge is the aorus line is pure high end with no mid range offerings and even the aero is pretty pricey, crossing the 3k theshold and competing with the msi gs65

 

[finclk82]

One should only consider the gigabyte aero 15 if you need the portability and want something that you can bring around for work n game or creative work.

In fact other than the aero15, there is only the msi gs65 and Razer new 15 especially if battery is a key concern for u.

If you don't need the above factors, can go for more value for money options like aftershock.
