Gigabyte AERO X16 (EG61H / EG64H)
Creator-gaming hybrid
A 1.9 kg slim creator-gaming 16" with upgradeable RAM and a clean aluminum design — but the RTX 5070 is capped at just 85 W, so real-world gaming lands below what the GPU name suggests, and there's no Thunderbolt. Better as a portable creator machine than a frame-rate-first gaming laptop.
