[Specs and Info] GIGABYTE AERO 14 OLED and AERO 16 OLED – Style, features, power
GIGABYTE’s AERO series has been pretty good for a while, offering thin and light laptops that also bring a good chunk of power, both in terms of computational and graphics performance. To add to that, we get high-resolution OLED displays, so every type of content looks good and crispy.
Today, we’re giving you a quick overview of the GIGABYTE AERO 14 OLED (2023) and AERO 16 (2023).
Full Specs: GIGABYTE AERO 14 OLED (2023) / AERO 16 OLED (2023)

GIGABYTE AERO 16 OLED (2023) configurations:
Design
The two laptops come with a CNC-milled aluminum build, transforming a single ingot of the metal into a chassis. The devices feel and are pretty light, especially with the white color and reflective AERO on the lid. The barrel-style hinges have a small A-logo on the ends, which shows an attention to detail, something that overall exudes quality. In terms of portability, the AERO 14 OLED comes with a weight of 1.49 kg and has a profile of 17.0 mm, while the larger AERO 16 OLED has a weight of 2.10 kg and a profile of 22 mm.
Display
The display selection includes only OLED panels, with one display for each notebook. The 14-inch model has a 16:10 2.8K OLED panel with a 600 nit brightness with HDR, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and a 90Hz refresh rate. On the AERO 16, there is a 4K UHD+ OLED display with the same brightness and color coverage, but with only a 60Hz refresh rate. Both laptops are Pantone validated and X-Rite calibrated, for the best possible color representation.
Specifications and features
The AERO 14 comes with two CPU options, the Core i5-12500H (12 cores, 16 threads) and the Core i7-13700H (14 cores, 20 threads). The AERO 16 comes with the Core i7-13700H, while also adding the Core i9-13900H, which shares the same 14-core, 20-thread layout. In terms of graphics, the AERO 14 uses the RTX 4050, with 6GB of VRAM and a 50W power limit, while the larger AERO 16 can go as high as the RTX 4070 with a 105W power limit, so we expect pretty good performance out of it. While you can push lighter games to play at 4K, connecting to an external monitor will probably be your best option, as you get a bigger display, and if it’s at a lower resolution, you’ll also be able to play many more Triple-A titles at good settings and framerates.
However, the main use for the GPUs is Creator work, and the new ADA architecture brings improvements on that front, as the cards are much more efficient, they can sustain a higher load for longer, so even if you’re on the go a lot, your notebook won’t die on you even after some time rendering videos or doing other complex work.
Both laptops come with similar I/O, as the AERO 14 brings one USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, a MicroSD card reader, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The AERO 16 does swap out one Thunderbolt 4 port for a standard USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port.
