Background and Identification
Gigabyte (also stylized as GIGABYTE) is a computer hardware manufacturer based in Taiwan known primarily for their motherboards. In 2003, however, they entered the laptop market with the G-MAX NB-1401 (here’s a review from AnandTech). Gigabyte continued making laptops like the W511A, M528, P2542G until 2014 when they introduced the dual-GPU Aorus X7 (review from the Verge). The Aorus line is mostly marketed for gaming, as laptops in the line often feature high-refresh-rate screens and mechanical keyboards.
At Computex 2016, Gigabyte debuted another line of laptops with the release of the Aero 14. The Aero line features high-performance specifications like the Aorus line, but is aimed at content creators instead. Aero laptops often feature OLED screens with HDR capability to satisfy creative professionals like photographers or video editors. Gigabyte continues to release new updates to both laptop lines with better processors and graphics cards each year.
You can identify most Gigabyte laptops since 2005 by finding the words “Gigabyte“ or a product line like “Aero“ or “Aorus“ on the back of the display or just below the screen. Aorus laptops often include an Eagle logo on the back of the display. You can find the model number on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop as shown in this Gigabyte support article.
