Review on Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED SB Thin+Light High Performance Laptop by Kyle Rose

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great laptop if you know your use case

I have this for video content consumption and the ability to play/work in AutoCAD and Adobe products it handles well. Screen is amazing Pros - Screen may not refresh much, but I use this device for work rather than gaming (mortal sin). Otherwise a very solid device with no crazy keyboard flexibility. - Touchpad from an old Macbook Pro. I was very happy with the touchpad of this one. No issues with use other than color showing dirt/debris, easy fan control is great, I never push the machine to max power for long periods of time, but being able to modulate my own curve is great. Only cons so far that I would asterisk: - The coil buzzes STRONGLY almost all the time when plugged in/actively used. It thumped the cable box into roar - if getting a new unit wasn't a total headache (can't just turn a working machine down for weeks due to a defect) I'd be sending it back for something that doesn't look like it Printer beeps from the 90s. It appears that the PSU is a third party item (there is NO brand name on it ANYWHERE which could be the cause of the problem). - Screen shakes a little, maybe it's very noticeable when driving to work/trying to focus with lots of pixels. It's not a problem for me at home. Camera, just assume it doesn't have one because it's so bad. Overall, this is an amazing machine, but I have to chainwheel because of the power supply/spool squeal. Maybe I was unlucky, but the noise is crazy enough to make me want to leave my laptop unplugged unless I'm wearing headphones. Otherwise it would be 5/5
