Review: Gigabyte Aero 14W v7

Conclusion

The Gigabyte Aero 14 is a potent and portable laptop designed for working gamers with deep pockets.

Armed with a latest-generation Core i7-7700HQ processor and GeForce GTX 1060 graphics, this 14in machine has power where it counts and delivers an impressive collection of hardware in a petite form factor measuring less than 20mm thick. Generous battery life adds to the appeal, as does as a spacious and ultra-fast 512GB M.2 SSD, and there's an enjoyable QHD IPS display to round-out the package.

The ability to function effectively as both an everyday workhorse as well as a mobile gaming rig make it an attractive proposition, and anyone who is deterred by the outlandish appearance of rival solutions is likely to appreciate Gigabyte's refined approach. There's still room for improvement - the display hinge could be more rigid and the trackpad isn't great - but the positives easily outweigh these minor issues.

Bottom line: Aero 14 does a commendable job of balancing the work-play lifestyle and stands out as a viable candidate for anyone seeking genuine gaming potential in a slim-and-light profile.
