Review: Never Miss A Beat with Gigabyte Aorus 5

The new blood of professional gaming laptops.

The Gigabyte Aorus 5 is a laptop that enables gamers to truly show their fullest potential. While downloading games, the games downloaded quickly, as the laptop supports Thunderbolt 4 for high-speed transmission.

The laptop gave an excellent performance with the 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, with a 360Hz high refresh rate panel and 3mm ultra-thin bezel. The flawless gaming graphics provided by a 360Hz high refresh rate display enables me to react immediately, which I feel tremendously improved gameplay.

Even with a very processor-demanding game, Aorus 5’s GPU and CPU can perform to their utmost capacity thanks to its chassis design and unique cooling method. While running these intense games, the laptop felt cool and ran smoothly. With two fans with 83 blades each, five heat pipes, and numerous cooling fins, WINDFORCE Infinity all-copper cooling technology effectively removes heat generated by the CPU and GPU.

Audio-wise, it is important in a shooting game to make use of auditory hints of where your enemies are. With DTS sound unbound, very real game sound positioning is relayed to me, signalling an accurate location of my enemy. It gives me a high auditory advantage which rmproves my performance in the game!

Trying out games with extreme graphic settings, the Aorus 5 lived up to the specs of the game, where I enjoyed playing with lifelike ray-traced graphics. NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series Laptop GPUs power the world’s fastest laptops for both gamers and creators. New Max-Q technologies make tiny, powerful laptops that are faster and better than ever possible.

The 12th Gen Intel Core i7 14 cores processor, which has 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, powers AORUS 5, enabling fluid gameplay with taxing games and demanding job loads. The Microsoft Azure AI technology is a ground-breaking feature of AORUS laptops. The artificial intelligence will automatically determine the appropriate CPU and GPU wattage setting for the greatest gaming performance once a game is played. This was very easy for me because everything is automated, I just have to focus on de-stressing and playing my game without worrying about adjusting settings for the best performance.

The AORUS 5’s chassis is all black, it is sleek with a striking aesthetic. The tactile keyboard gives a lightning-fast key response and has a lifespan of 10 million keystrokes.

Rating: 4.5

We say: It is one of the highest-performing gaming laptops in the market, with leading graphics.
