Gigabyte Aorus 15G

The Aorus 15G with an RTX 3070 offers a boost in performance without a boost in the price. It’s well-designed and nothing Gigabyte should be in a rush to change. If you’re looking for a gaming laptop with a 30-series GPU, the 15G is worth considering. Though if you can spare the extra $200, get the high-end build for its 1TB of storage and RTX 3080.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15G is an expensive gaming laptop, featuring a powerful performance, high refresh rate and a mechanical keyboard to please the hardcore gaming crowd. On the flip side, the lack of 4K support means you’ll be stuck with a rather outdated resolution moving forward without a secondary display, but I personally found the excellent 240Hz display to be a worthwhile compromise in the end as someone with a love for high-performance over picture quality.
