The Gigabyte Aero 16 is a serious bit of kit for serious bits of work – like coding, programming, and development. With its huge computing horsepower and stunning aluminum design, there’s plenty to like about this impressive rig. It’s even earned a spot on our best laptops for photo editing.

All that aluminum means that the Gigabyte is rock-solid, too, and we’ve got no qualms about slinging the laptop in a bag.
The impressive build quality carries through to the keyboard. The unmoving base helps create a fast and satisfying typing experience, and the keys have plenty of travel. It’s one of the best laptop keyboards we’ve used (and we’ve used a…
