Elevate Your Vision: A Classic Reborn
Deeply rooted in the classics, the inspiration of the Gigabyte AERO 16 Creator Laptop stems from previous generations and designs, evolutionary thinness and humanism aesthetics. Combining the 12th generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs, and a remarkable 4K+ HDR ultra-wide view, in one compact chassis. It offers high efficiency with the utmost beauty, driven by the core tenets of performance with minimalist yet detailed designs, granting all creators efficiency, precision, and exceptional form and function on their creative journey.
Sum of the Light Spectrum
The aesthetic formula of AERO 16 consists of polished details and graceful simplicity. The arced body is complemented with neat edges, removing any needless complexities. The CNC aluminum-alloy unibody is much more sophisticated than the traditional laptop. Just as a prism disperses light into its constituent spectral colours, the AERO 16 is the personification of an inverted prism, uniting the colourful and exquisite qualities of life into one rich complete experience.
Capturing Your Creative Mind
Before revealing the powerful specification details of AERO, we would like to emphasise the core concept of the AERO 16 Creator Laptops, is “Creativity starts here.” We believe that the reduced processing time for images or files thanks to AERO's power, will be the key for inspirational ideas to come to life with efficiency.
Thin yet Boundless 16" 4K+ OLED Display

The Ultimate PlayNVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30 Series Laptop GPUs power the world's fastest laptops for gamers and creators. They're built with Ampere—NVIDIA's 2nd gen RTX architecture— to give you the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features like NVIDIA DLSS. New Max-Q technologies utilize AI to enable thin, high performance laptops that are faster and better than ever.
Boost Performance With AI
NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.
More Immersive Experiences
Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators - and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.
Optimised Power And Performance
NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimise laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.
AI : Your Inteligent Assistant
To provide the best performance for our clientele, GIGABYTE and Microsoft collaborated and introduced the world's first and only laptop AI. It can learn the energy consumption details of every software and adjust the wattage consumption of the CPU and GPU accordingly, allowing the user to effortlessly enjoy the top performance. It will also determine the best screen brightness as different environments are detected. The best part is that with the accumulated learning data, AERO 16 will configure CPU/GPU for each software with more precision, saving up more time for you at multimedia processing and manual setting.
Assurred Dedication Every Second
GIGABYTE's unique cooling technology includes two 59-blade fans, 5 heat pipes, and multi-face heat dissipation fins. This allows the laptop to operate with a total thermal design power (TDP) up to 125 watts (45 watts for the processor and 80 watts for the graphics card) under “Performance Mode” as this thermal solution can quickly dissipate heat, ensuring a calm and stable throttle-free performance under heavy loads when gaming or multimedia processing.
WiFi 6E - Battle-Ready for the Next-Gen 6G Universe
It is imperative to transmit your creativity to the world instantaneously. With the next-gen Wi-Fi 6E, the brand-new AERO 16 laptops support not only the Wi-Fi 6 and the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands of the previous generation, but also the 6GHz frequency band, enabling faster speed and lower delays. This allows users to enjoy zero lag in AR/VR experiences and massive document downloading, diffusing creativity to the far beyond and exploring the future of the metaverse.
Speedy Demands Require Speedy Solutions
Time is money, don't waste it on waiting. AERO 16 comes with two slots fully supporting DDR5 memory. Having the advantages of low power consumption, high transmission speed, and high stability, it can fully support multi-tasking and smoothly handle model files of any size.

It has a bandwidth and sequential read speed of up to 7000 MB/s, which is 2 times faster than the previous generation4, allowing users to preview faster, store more, read faster, and work on the files - seizing every second when inspiration hits.
Thunderbolt 4
Transferring data and video display are all done in just one port. With two built-in Intel® Thunderbolt™ 4 achieves a transfer speed of up to 40Gbps and 8X faster than USB 3.1. Additionally, the reversible USB-C transfer port interface can output up to two 4K screens. One of them can also be used for PD charging, breaking all boundaries for your endless creativity.
AERO Hub for Expansion
With the included AERO HUB, complex interface is replaced by just three USB-C, converging all port functions into the AERO HUB. This creator intended hub offers HDMI, MiniDP, USB Type-A, and RJ45. With the advantage in flexibility, expansion capacity, and easy storage, you can set up your mobile workshop whenever and wherever you want.
