The Gigabyte Aero 17 is a laptop running on the Windows 11 Pro operating system. The laptop's dimensions stand at 15.6'' x 9.5'' x 0.92'', with a weight of 5.73 lbs, suggesting it's more suited to desk-based use rather than for travel due to its weight. Given its portability score of 4.6 out of 10, it's clear that it is designed to handle intensive tasks within a stable environment rather than on-the-move usage.

In terms of performance, the Aero 17 features an i7-12700H processor and an RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, geared towards supporting a range of tasks from day-to-day productivity to more demanding activities such as gaming or 3D rendering. The device has 16 GB of RAM spread across two slots, and 2048 GB of storage, with an additional storage slot, providing ample space for software and files.

The Aero 17 is fitted with a large 17.3-inch Mini LED screen with a 3840 x 2160 resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz, promising crisp, clear visuals. For connectivity, it offers three USB-C ports, with USB-C charging functionality, and three display outputs. Although there are no USB Type-A ports or Ethernet, the inclusion of a Thunderbolt port allows for fast data transfer and connection to multiple devices. The battery capacity of 99 Wh translates to about 5.5 hours of usage, depending on the activities carried out.
