Gigabyte unveiled its AERO X16 laptop, a Copilot+ PC aimed at creators and gamers who need AI performance in a portable package. The machine pairs AMD's Ryzen AI 9 465 processor with an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU running at 85 W, delivering on-device AI capabilities alongside gaming performance.

The laptop's standout feature is Gigabyte's GiMATE AI Agent, which adds hardware and software control beyond Microsoft's Copilot+ offerings. GiMATE Creator streamlines generative image workflows while GiMATE Coder handles natural-language code generation through Visual Studio Code integration. These tools target professionals who want local AI processing without cloud dependencies.

Despite its 16.75 mm profile and 1.9 kg weight, the AERO X16 houses a WINDFORCE Infinity cooling system with 100 W thermal capacity. The 16:10 2.5K 165 Hz IPS display covers 100% sRGB with Pantone validation, and TÜV-certified eye comfort should reduce fatigue during long sessions.

Gigabyte rates the AERO X16 for up to 14 hours of battery life, though sustained GPU workloads will likely drain it faster. The laptop ships in Lunar White and Space Gray with RGB-lit keyboards, positioning it as a premium creator machine competing against ASUS and MSI offerings in the AI laptop segment.
