GIGABYTE, known in our country primarily for its motherboards and video cards, is also firmly established in the laptop market. This year we already introduced you to the AERO 15 OLED XC and AORUS 15G KC models, and now the 17-inch version of the AERO 17 HDR XD has arrived, addressed, according to the manufacturer, primarily to digital media content creators. At the heart of this mobile PC is an 8-core Intel Tiger Lake processor and GeForce RTX 3070 graphics. Let’s take a closer look at the new GIGABYTE.

 GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR XD

GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR XD

 

⇡#Specifications, equipment and software

On sale, you will find two versions of AERO 17 HDR when it comes to the 11th generation Intel platform. The XD version is equipped with GeForce RTX 3070 graphics, and the YD version is equipped with GeForce RTX 3080 graphics. In both cases, the GPU runs at a maximum power of 105W. But the rest of the characteristics are the same, paired with graphics in any case, the 8-core Core i7-11800H works. Other specifications of GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR are shown in the table below.

The XD version came to our office with a pre-installed 1 TB SSD and 32 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, marking – XD-73RU544SP. In retail, such a laptop costs an average of $3,900.

In addition to all of the above, the laptop has an Intel AX200 wireless module that supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac/ax standards, as well as Bluetooth 5.2. A 2.5-gigabit Realtek Gaming controller is responsible for the wired connection to the network.

The laptop comes with an external power supply with a power of 230 W and a weight of 800 grams, along with all the wires. The laptop does not support Power Delivery technology.

 

⇡#Appearance and Input Devices

The computer looks very strict – and this AERO 17 HDR XD only attracts our attention. A simple pattern is applied to the display cover, the side faces also have a profile shape. The inscription “AERO” is highlighted in white.

The body of the device is made of aluminum, but the manufacturer notes the use of a nano-carbon coating. The area with the keyboard turned out to be generally non-marking.

For a 17-inch model, the AERO 17 HDR XD is quite compact and not too heavy – however, such characteristics will not be called a curiosity in 2021. The laptop lid can be easily opened with one hand, the design uses tight and obviously high-quality hinges.

The manufacturer claims that the AERO 17 HDR XD received the world’s first 3 mm thick display with a thin bezel around the edges. The result is an 89% screen-to-body ratio that makes a laptop appear smaller than it actually is. This is especially evident from the reaction of people who encounter such laptops for the first time – they simply do not believe that they have a “seed” in front of them, and not a 15-inch version of a mobile PC.

The thickness of the AERO 17 HDR XD is 21.5mm.

The laptop was released for the so-called creators, and therefore its functionality must fully comply with the unspoken modern standards. There is a slot for UHS-II SD cards – and rightly so! And on the left side are RJ-45, a pair of USB 3.2 Gen1 A-type, as well as two 3.5 mm jacks (microphone in and headphone out). On the right, there’s another USB 3.2 Gen1 A-type, Thunderbolt 4 with up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth, and HDMI 2.1 video outputs with mini-DisplayPort.

The keyboard of the 17-inch laptop is expectedly equipped with a numeric keypad. It is no different from what we saw in the previously tested AORUS 15G KC model. I would like to get larger left Ctrl and Shift, but you get used to such buttons in a day or two. The arrow keys are not highlighted in any way. Finally, Insert and Print Screen only work in combination with a function key.

The keyboard has RGB backlighting, which can be customized in the GIGABYTE Control Center app. The illumination of the buttons has not changed: only English letters, numbers and symbols are highlighted, so in the dark you have to type in Russian from memory – for some users this can be a serious problem. However, the manufacturer’s representatives assured us that in future modifications of laptops intended for sale in the Russian Federation, the illumination of Cyrillic characters will be implemented and, moreover, such modifications are already in production. The keyboard supports N-Key Rollover technology, which allows you to press up to 80 buttons simultaneously. The key travel is approximately 2 mm, pressing is well felt, although it is almost silent. It also supports the creation of macros involving any keys.

The touchpad is not very large (106 × 71 mm) and has a fingerprint scanner. I have no complaints at all about his work: the touch panel is responsive, it works clearly.

We previously praised the AERO 17 HDR XD for its thin display lid bezels. This was achieved, among other things, by moving the webcam from the top edge of the cover to the main part of the laptop body – the optics are located directly above the power button, plus it is equipped with a movable shutter. However, there is nothing to say about the camera itself: the laptop uses a standard HD sensor.

 

⇡#Internal design and upgrade options

The bottom cover of the AERO 17 HDR XD is very easy to remove, but be aware that you will have to remove a few Torx screws.

Coolers powerful laptops GIGABYTE called WindForce Infinity. We are dealing with a rather impressive system, which has five copper heat pipes, two fans and four large copper heatsinks. Heated air is ejected by “carlsons” in four directions, and a new portion of cold air enters through a rather large perforated grill on the bottom.

Each WindForce Infinity fan received 71 blades. According to GIGABYTE, the heat dissipation efficiency is increased by 30% compared to the previous generation model.

The laptop is equipped with two M.2 slots: one has four PCI Express 4.0 lines, and the other has the same number, but the 3.0 standard. A terabyte drive ESR01TBTLG-E6GBTNB4 is installed in one of the connectors – apparently, we are dealing with an OEM SSD from Phison Electronics. But both SO-DIMM slots are equipped with 16 GB DDR4-3200 modules manufactured by ADATA.

 

⇡#Test Methodology

The testing methodology for gaming laptops puts even more emphasis on PC gaming. Laptop performance was measured using various software.

Gaming performance was measured using the well-known CapFrameX program. It allows you to get the rendering time of each frame. The use of the 99th percentile instead of the minimum frames per second is due to the desire to clean up the results from random performance fluctuations that were provoked by reasons not directly related to the operation of the main components of the platform.

Testing the laptop in games and applications was carried out with the activation of the fastest mode suitable for these tasks.

Applications:

  • Corona 1.3. Testing rendering speed using the renderer of the same name. Measures the build speed of the standard BTR scene used to measure performance.
  • Blender 2.92. Determination of the final rendering speed in one of the popular free packages for creating three-dimensional graphics. The duration of building the final model pavillon_barcelona_v1.2 from Blender Benchmark is measured.
  • x265 HD Benchmark. Testing the speed of video transcoding to H.265/HEVC format. The tables and graphs show the average integer value obtained after five runs of the test.
  • CINEBENCH R23. Measuring the performance of photorealistic 3D rendering in the CINEMA 4D animation package, CPU test. The tables and graphs show the average integer value obtained after five runs of the test.
  • Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 – Rendering a project in 4K resolution.
  • Topaz Video Enhance AI v1.2.3. Performance testing in an AI-based program to improve video detail. The test uses the original video at 1280×720 resolution, which is scaled up by 150% using the Artemis-HQ model: P, HQ, MC.

Comprehensive benchmarks:

  • Futuremark PCMARK10 Professional Edition 2.1.2177. Testing in Essentials scenarios (typical work of an average user: launching applications, surfing the Internet, video conferencing), Productivity (office work with a text editor and spreadsheets), Digital Content Creation (creation of digital content: photo editing, non-linear video editing, 3D rendering and visualization -models).
  • 3DMark Professional Edition 2.11.6846. Testing in Time Spy and Fire Strike scenes.
  • Unigine Superposition Benchmark. 1080p Extreme testing.

Notebook testing in resource-intensive applications was carried out in the default mode without any adjustment of the parameters of the central processor and cooler.

Display testing is performed using the X-Rite i1Display Pro colorimeter and the DisplayCAL 3 application.

The battery life of the laptop was tested in two modes. The first load option – web surfing – involves alternately opening and closing the tabs of the Computeruniverse.ru and Unsplash.com sites with an interval of 30 seconds. For this test, the current version of the Google Chrome browser at the time of testing is used. In the second mode, video in .mkv format and Full HD resolution is played in the built-in player of Windows OS with the repeat function activated. In all cases, the same display brightness was set to 200 cd / m2, and the keyboard backlight (if any) and the sound were turned off.

In games and other applications, the results of the following laptops are considered:

⇡#Display and sound

The manufacturer’s website says that absolutely all displays installed on AERO series laptops undergo a mandatory calibration and certification procedure using the X-Rite Pantone professional device. The AERO 17 HDR XD is equipped with an AU Optronics B173ZAN03.2 IPS panel that supports 4K resolution and the VESA DisplayHDR 400 standard.

The test results clearly show that the screen in AERO 17 HDR XD is very good. The matrix has excellent indicators of brightness and contrast, as well as excellent color reproduction. Yes, the hero of the review is perfect for those who work professionally with digital content.

 Heating of the laptop case (games, nominal mode)

Notebook case heating (games, nominal operation)

In the first case, the power limit of 70 W is activated for the central processor (instead of the standard 45 W), but the cooler fans rotate at 100% even without load. In Gaming Mode, the laptop runs silently without load, but there is no overclocking of the GPU, and therefore, in both cases, the mobile PC shows similar results in benchmarks.

We see that in gaming mode, the laptop under load is quite noisy – you can’t call a quiet device in games. Nevertheless, with these parameters, the cooling system copes well with the Core i7-11800H and the GeForce RTX 3070, the chip of which is limited in power consumption to 105 watts. In the “Turbo” mode, the temperatures are even lower, but the noise level also increases noticeably.

The laptop case gets quite hot in the middle part, closer to the power button. Fortunately, the keyboard heats up on the sides, let’s say, within standard limits – it doesn’t interfere with playing.

Below is a clear illustration of the fact that the Core i7-11800H with a power limit of 70 and 45 W are practically two different processors. In the same Adobe Premiere Pro, turning on the Turbo mode made AERO 17 HDR XD 10% faster. But in the Gaming mode, the laptop (without the load on the video card) is very quiet, since the cooler with heat pipes common to the GPU and CPU can easily cope with a 45-watt crystal.

It is worth noting that in the GIGABYTE Control Center you can even create your own mode of operation of the laptop cooler – so that it makes less noise, but at the same time functions more efficiently.

⇡#Notebook Performance

The moment has come when we can say that we have already studied a decent number of laptops with GeForce RTX 3070 graphics. Therefore, we are well aware of the potential of this laptop GPU. The table below compares the AERO 17 HDR XD to other laptops using chips such as the GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3080. The laptop was tested in Turbo mode.

Of course, the hero of the review is great for games, because the AERO 17 HDR XD is equipped with the second fastest mobile GPU. True, in 4K resolution, the mobile GeForce RTX 3070 becomes difficult in 5 out of 17 cases – here you will either have to reduce the quality of the graphics or change the resolution. In the same WQHD, “Aero” produces a frame rate that does not drop below the conditionally comfortable mark of 30 frames per second in all games except “Cyberpunk”, where it is better to simply activate the DLSS function.

We have already explored the potential of the new Tiger Lake chips – AERO 17 HDR XD did not become a pioneer for us. Graphs with test results are given below, and everyone will draw conclusions for himself.

Below are the results of testing the laptop in the PCMARK10 comprehensive benchmark. In a number of tests (such as archiving, working with graphics and photo and video content, interacting with browsers, as well as with office applications), the laptop drive plays an important role. The GIGABYTE laptop comes with Phison Electronics ESR01TBTLG-E6GBTNB4, which supports the PCI Express 4.0 standard.

 

⇡#Laptop offline

The AERO 17 HDR XD versions come with a 99 Wh battery. The hardware in the laptop is powerful, plus a 4K display is installed. So even with such a battery, it is hard to expect a record-breaking autonomy from a computer, comparable, for example, with the performance of modern ultrabooks. But you can’t call it bad either: stable 6 hours were obtained with a fairly high display brightness.

⇡#Conclusions

First and foremost, the GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR XD is a well-built laptop. The aluminum case, strict design, the presence of a card reader, modern video outputs and Thunderbolt 4 are a good set for a laptop designed for work. The display is magnificent, it is pleasant not only to work with it, but also to play. The cooling system copes with the declared hardware and, under load only on the processor, can perform its functions very quietly. In games, the AERO 17 HDR XD is noisy, but quite tolerable.

The shortcomings that we pointed out in the recently tested AORUS 15G also migrated to the hero of the review – this is the lack of USB 3.2 Gen2. Whether it is critical for you or not – decide for yourself, dear readers.
