I got hands on with the Aorus Elite 16, Gigabyte A16, Gigabyte A16 Pro, Gigabyte A18, and Gigabyte Aero X16. The Aorus Elite 16 is likely the only one worth paying a premium price to buy since it features top of the ports and specs. The rest of the Gigabyte lineup featured less than ideal power limits, which slots them into the laptops that must be priced lower to sell when compared to full power competing products. I think was a mistake by Gigabyte and told them they should have designed them to reach at least 115W to the GPU and 35 to the CPU at the same time, but improvements will likely have to wait for another year. These laptops can still be recommended if that are being sold at a discount.
