Today Gigabyte has published a teaser video and dedicated microsite highlighting its refreshed Aero 15 and Aero 15X laptops. These stylish gaming laptops were previously reviewed by HEXUS in 2017. To refresh your memory, the Aero 15 and 15X are very similar in base spec but are differentiated mainly by the GPU equipped - an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 respectively. Furthermore, the Aero 15X came out as an Nvidia Maq-Q design in late September last year.
Previous Aero 15(X) specifications saw the laptop employ a 15.6-inch FHD 1920x1080 wide viewing angle anti-glare display LCD with X-Rite Pantone certification. These had 5mm bezels. The refresh models mark a big change in the display department. According to the preview site, buyers will have the option between two new high performance displays; a bezel-less 144Hz panel, and a 4K UHD IPS panel with AdobeRGB 100% and X-Rite Pantone certification.
Gigabyte claims its new Aero 15(X) models will be the first to ship with a bezel-less 144Hz panel. The greatest benefit of this, presumably FHD, display will be in delivering smooth gameplay "without annoying motion-blur". Unfortunately, there is no info on whether the display is Nvidia G-Sync compatible. Meanwhile, if your priority is for higher-res colour accurate visuals over gaming frame rates, you might be more interested in the 4K UHD panel with AdobeRGB 100% and X-Rite Pantone certification.
