Hi amazing review as always! Just a request in your next reviews I think its better to include graph temps for each fan preset as it will show how good/bad thermals are. Thanks for the great work!

Ooh the UV section is great! Absolutely a must for any laptop buyers if its available. The 6 torx screwdriver needed to open it is a bit odd tho lol

This is my first Gigabyte laptop. I upgraded to this from a Asus TUF fx 505dt. I am very happy with this upgrade, the ports amazed me so much, you have all the ports that you need, the windows hello was a welcome feature, aswell as the MUX switch. Idk why on the listing it said the screen has 144 hz but i can actually set it do 360 hz. Compared to the Asus software, the Gigabyte software is a dream. No ads, no problems, no crashing, and works as intended. As for cooling i only use a simple stand, and that is all i need. The only downside compared to my previous laptop are the speakers. tbh they suck a lot on this gigabyte laptop. If you only use headphones and or a speaker that should not be a problem. Overall i say this laptop is still a solid buy today if you find it with a promotion for lower price.

Props for mentioning GPU tdp problem! That what I looked for!

Appreciate your detailed explanation :)

Thanks Hubwood. I would love to see a comparison of this laptops benchmarks compared to the gigabyte G5

Hello great review, than you for bringing this laptop to my attention. I am a bit confused tough about the screen, the model I find online has only a 144hz screen. Do yo know perhaps any details about how bright it is and what color gamut it has? EDIT: I found it it's 45% NTSC. So it's not really a good screen.

How do you overclock? Changing which parameters and where?

How is cooling solution of that laptop compared to lenovo legion slim 5i with rtx 4060 (which is thicker than aorus 15)? Are the heatsinks in aorus made of aluminium or copper?

Very good video.

I just got the model with the I5 13500H and RTX 4050 but at $700 couldn’t say no, just snagged a 32GB Ram 5600 mhz for $70 and I’m super happy and didn’t break the bank anyway I’m mostly on my desktop. Thanks for the great content, I was wondering already why nobody had reviewed any of this models.

Hello, do you know what the difference is between the Aorus 15 9kf E3ES383SH and E3ES383SD? I have seen that the E3ES383SH is cheaper and with Win 11, while the E3ES383SD is freeDOS and a little more expensive, I have been looking and I can't find a difference in terms of specifications, maybe you know?

Hello. Between these two teams, which one would you recommend? Gigabyte Aorus 15 9KF-E3ES383SH i5-12500H RTX 4060 vs Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 i5-12450H GeForce RTX 4060. For me it is important that it be as quiet as possible. Thank you.

Because even though product images show 13700H it's not confirmed, it might also be a 13620H

@Hubwood, nice video, thanks! Have you ever got hands on the BKF-Model? It comes with an i7 13700H and a QHD 165Hz screen for about 350€ extra. Do you think there is any major difference in cooling performance or battery run time?

Hey Hubwood! First, I would like to thank you for the great content you are providing! Keep up the good work! Second - I would like an opinion for replacing my old(gtx 1060) laptop. I am on the fence for those two models: - Lenovo LOQ 15APH8, Full HD, AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS, RTX 4060, 16 GB, 512 GB SSD + Win10 - AORUS 15 9KF, Full HD, Intel Core i5-12500H, RTX 4060, 8 GB, 1 TB SSD + Win11 Whatever model I end buying - it will get more RAM and at least 2TB ssd. I dont care much for screen, weight and battery life - I am using my laptops as desktop replacement - on a cooling pad + external monitor, kbd and mice. I just want decently cooled system, that will allow me to play games like PoE, D4, EVE, Baldur's gate 3 and some MMORPGS for the next 4-5 years on FHD. (in that regard do I really need 4060 instead of 4050 gpu - or the latter is too gimped to be future proof?) My understanding is that this ryzen cpu has comparable performance to i5-12500 while running on lower temps, the gpu will probably get undervolted to assure even lower temps ... please advice! Thank you in advance!

@egorkostenko736

​@@gabrieliusaukstuolis9177 Hello. I've been using the laptop for about 2 weeks. Regarding battery life and fan operation, it all depends on your laptop setup. If I'm running on battery power, I have power saving mode turned on. And if you have the fan settings also standard or eco. Then when using the browser, the fans will turn on very rarely. I didn't track the battery life. But the battery capacity is very large (compared to competitors). This is a polymer battery, so it has its disadvantages. But the battery life in eco mode pleasantly surprised me. If you have any more questions, ask.

Well I think in this case I would suggest the cheaper aorus. But it's a tough question. The 12700h will defenitely come in handy in the future... The Lenovo is a good laptop of course... But 300 extra is quite the money... You could put that aside for your next laptop upgrade/switch instead... I mean both options have their pros and cons. Though the legions WQHD will result in lower fps if you use the native resolution for sure.
