GIGABYTE has officially rolled out its newest flagships in the AI PC era – the AORUS MASTER 18 and AORUS MASTER 16. Designed for hardcore gamers and tech enthusiasts, these powerhouse laptops are packed with next-level AI performance and customization, making them some of the most advanced gaming machines on the market.
Meet GiMATE: Your Onboard AI Assistant
At the core of the new AORUS MASTER lineup is GiMATE, GIGABYTE’s proprietary AI agent powered by a large language model (LLM). GiMATE transforms user interaction, allowing for hands-free adjustments via the Press and Speak function. With just your voice, you can tweak power modes, fine-tune cooling settings, and switch audio profiles—no more digging through menus.
Serious Power, Peak Performance
Under the hood, the AORUS MASTER laptops run on the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 275HX with integrated NPU AI capabilities, and top-tier NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 50 Series Laptop GPUs powered by the new NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. These specs unlock real-time ray tracing, hyper-realistic visuals, and lightning-fast AI workloads.
To further empower AI developers, the systems support NVIDIA NIM Microservices, enabling users to run sophisticated AI models and build powerful assistants and workflows on GIGABYTE’s NIM-ready platforms.
Cool Under Pressure: WINDFORCE INFINITY EX
These machines aren’t just fast—they stay cool too. GIGABYTE’s advanced WINDFORCE INFINITY EX cooling system handles up to 270W of thermal output with ease.
Featuring a vapour chamber, 158 ultra-thin asymmetric Frost Fan blades, and 3D VortX circulation with quad fans on the MASTER 18, this cooling setup keeps things icy while running whisper-quiet in 0dB ambient mode.
Visuals and Sound That Stun
The AORUS MASTER 18 is equipped with a mini-LED display supporting Dolby Vision® HDR, while the MASTER 16 boasts a crisp OLED panel—both offering deep contrast and dazzling colours.
To complete the immersive experience, both models include Dolby Atmos® audio and dual-force speakers that eliminate distortion and enhance spatial depth for a cinematic soundstage.
The AORUS MASTER 18 retails at S$6,069 and the AORUS MASTER 16 retails at S$5,499. Find out more here.
