Gigabyte Aero 15

[JayM]

Anyone have/used Gigabyte Aero laptops? I'm looking for something reasonably portable with decent enough CPU/GPU mostly for work and some Starcraft 2. Budget is around 30K+VAT, so I'm looking at the Aero 15 Classic RTX2060 + i7-9750H. Interested to hear thoughts on quality, thermal throttling, warranty support etc. I realise a desktop would be better value, but I'm on the road a lot so that's not an option.

I had the Aero 15 and it is a great laptop. It gets quite hot but never had any throttling issues. The only problem with Gigabyte is the warranty support is not great. Quality is also great. If you can try getting the 2070 Max-q. It's got better thermals and is a bit better.

Thanks. Does the 2070 Max-q have better thermals than a 2060? They're both listed as 80W TDP.

Hmmm, wait that is my mistake. That was with the 1060 and 1070 Max-q. I think the 2060 and 2070 max-q performs very similarly, and is not worth the upgrade.
