As we mentioned above, the Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED XA Laptop features a GeForce RTX 2070 (with Max-Q). But there’s been lots of unfavorable talk with regards to the GeForce RTX 20 series with Max-Q, and users have reported considerable reduced performance in gaming. So what is Max-Q? Well, according to Nvidia … it’s an innovative approach to crafting the world’s thinnest, fastest, quietest gaming laptops. It hits the sweet spot of ultimate GeForce gaming while keeping a sleek design. In other words, they’re the mobile version of the RTX 20 series, and these GPUs offer lower power consumption via an ultra-low voltage design, making them less hot and less noisy.
I’m not a real heavy gamer, so I won’t let all the negative talk about Max-Q deter my expectations. But from what I can see from the specs, I do know as a content creator, that the Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED XA offers everything I want and more.
I’m really looking forward to see how this laptop will perform, against other similar laptops of the same class, such as the MSI GE63 8SF (Intel 8th Gen with RTX 2070), which we reviewed earlier this year.
Enough talk for now… let’s continue and check out the features and specifications in our next page.
