hey guys this is dom from tech advisor here at Computex 2019 in Taipei and I'm
here with the gigabyte aero 15 OLED so this is a new line from gigabyte that's
really more creative focused rather than gamer there's this OLED version of the
15 inch there's also a non OLED 15 and there's a non OLED 17 inch model they're
all pretty similar in terms of design everything else it's just the size and
then whether you get that 4k OLED panel packed in there I mean they're making a
big fuss pellet panel partly because they've gone for Pantone's certification
so they're saying that every single model has been factory calibrated to
some sort of ludicrous color standard with the help of X right and Pantone
which is part of that push for content creators basically like if you're going
to use it for creative work you will be getting like just like perfect color
reproduction in theory obviously when we're in a sort of like tradeshow
environment and we're weird lighting conditions it's really hard to actually
put up to the test in any meaningful way so something I'll be looking forward to
try and figure out once we actually get a review unit and but in theory that
means you know it it should be a great display for that purpose and with this
one you ogling the lovely older panel it's the same Samsung 51 section 15.6
inch OLED panel that basically every other 4k OLED laptop this year has had
so if you've been looking at like the Dell XPS 15 with 4k or some of the other
ones like that like it's the same panel underlined that you're not getting
anything different so the only thing that's kinda trying to make this stand
out is that factory calibration process so all I have to wait to see how much of
a difference that actually makes other than that what you're getting is allowed
to up there I mean in a lot of ways it looks more like a gaming laptop than a
creator laptop so it does sit in a mid space they're really talking about it as
a creator laptop but definitely like when you look at this it screams gamer
to me you will see we got the RGB keyboard going nuts on here at the
moment it's slim ish I mean you know it's not like XPS 13 slim or anything
but it's like a fairly slim laptop for what it is like if we close it we'll see
like it's not too bad it's got a bit of heft it's a you know it's just over I
think it's 2.1 kilos so it's like four pounds or something
it's not light but it's not cripplingly heavy
they've come pretty mad on the cooling as you can see there's a lot of them
tink going on on the bottom and round the sides
they say the cooling was like 30% more efficient this time than it was in the
last line of the arrow 15s so in theory that should keep it cool under sort of
intense workloads this is designed for you can get it with Intel Core i nine
r-tx graphics cards all that kind of stuff so it is really pushing that big
like hefty powerful creative focus you can see that actually I mean one of my
favorite things looking through this it's just the ports I mean it's really
full featured we've got a HDMI 2.0 we got us PC USB a headphone ethernet which
is like still kind of hard to find in a laptop of this kind of size another two
USB is we've got Thunderbolt full SD card reader and then the power socket
chamber therefore yeah right I mean like I'm coming from I use a laptop with USB
C and that's it like I use one of our we night books all that has this 2 USB 3
ports and so I always get jealous when I look at things like this and it is a lot
heavier but man you are getting something for that and yeah I mean I I
like the look at this thing I think it is gonna be interesting I think the main
audience is really gonna draw is gamers who are also content creators like if
you're someone who's twitch streaming or make your own gaming videos and my let's
play stuff so you want to be able to use this same machine for gaming as you do
for making content around gaming or just separate other content that you make
like I can see this drawing join you in LED but I think if you're just someone
who wants something great for video editing I mean I wonder how much you're
gonna be drawn to this kind of like chunky slightly spiky RGB lit aesthetic
rather than something maybe more sleek and sophisticated but you know that
there's a big market there people who are both gaming and content creators so
like I could see this working for them so yeah I mean we don't know full
pricing a ballistic stuff yet I imagine it will be coming out sometime soon like
June July and pricing it will be expensive until we know more it's hard
to say exactly where it sits but yeah so far I'm a family
