Gigabyte 18" AORUS MASTER 18 Gaming Laptop

Designed primarily for gaming enthusiasts and content creators, the 18" Gigabyte AORUS MASTER 18 Gaming Laptop delivers the performance to play games at high settings, make short work of video editing projects, and accelerate AI workloads.

Inside is an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX series 2 processor, which drives demanding games and applications with eight Performance cores that can reach 5.4 GHz Max Turbo frequency. Meanwhile, 16 Efficient cores smoothly handle background tasks. A dedicated NPU, capable of processing 13 trillion operations per second (TOPS) helps to accelerate AI-based workloads.

With 64GB of 5600 MHz DDR5 memory, you can smoothly load large media files and multitask demanding applications. A 2TB M.2 PCIe SSD provides space to keep your games library, large video files, and more. You can enhance performance by installing up to 128GB of memory across four slots. There is also one M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSD slot alongside two PCIe 4.0 slots.

Built with the Blackwell Max-Q architecture and backed by 24GB of dedicated GDDR7 VRAM, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card delivers high frame rates and enhanced visuals, leveraging a suite of NVIDIA technologies such as ray tracing, DLSS, AI, and more.

NVIDIA Advanced Optimus DDS technology allows you to manually switch between dedicated and integrated graphics to conserve battery power or achieve high performance when you need it.

Gigabyte's Overboost Ultra technology helps you take on extreme workloads by maximizing the combined performance of your CPU and GPU to up to 270W.

Designed to deliver silky smooth, cinematic visuals, the 18" 2560 x 1600 resolution mini-LED display's 240 Hz refresh rate minimizes motion blur from fast action scenes. Additionally, NVIDIA G-sync support eliminates screen tearing and stuttering from games as you explore vast worlds, race down narrow streets, and compete in head-to-head matches. The Pantone validated screen also provides vibrant, lifelike visuals with Dolby Vision high-dynamic range support providing a 1 million:1 contrast ratio and 1200 nits peak brightness in addition to 100% DCI-P3 gamut coverage.

With a 16:10 aspect ratio, this display provides more vertical viewing space than traditional QHD screens.

A quad fan design quickly dissipates heat to maintain performance during heavy loads. The 3D VortX Air-channeling system features four exhaust outlets with double-sided inlets to optimize airflow. A large vapor chamber conducts thermal energy away from the CPU and GPU. The fans can be set to automatically turn off during low-power loads for a silent experience.

The left side features an 80 Gb/s Thunderbolt 5 port, which allows you to transfer a 60GB file in about a minute with compatible devices. The right side includes a 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 4 port. You can also increase your multitasking efficiency by connecting external displays to the Thunderbolt ports and the HDMI 2.1 port. The three USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports work with up to 10 Gb/s devices. There is also a convenient SD card reader available. Plug a headset into the 3.5mm jack for clear communications with teammates.

Experience smooth video streaming, low-latency gaming, and fast file transfers with Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) support and a 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet port. Bluetooth 5.4 technology allows you to pair wireless devices such as headsets, keyboards, and mice for a cable-free experience.

The integrated Full HD infrared webcam works with Windows Hello to log you in with just a glance. Activate the integrated shutter when the camera isn't in use to help protect your privacy.

Fully immerse yourself in games, movies, and music with the built-in 6-speaker Dolby Atmos surround sound system and smart amp, which deliver deep bass and dynamic range.

A 99 Wh battery provides extended runtime when you're traveling. It can be recharged to 50% in about 30 minutes.

Microsoft simplified the design and user experience with Windows 11. It has a modern, clean design with a new Start Menu position. Snap Layouts, Groups, and Desktops allow you to multitask with ease. Microsoft has also integrated some of their apps, such as Microsoft Teams. The redesigned Microsoft Store makes it easier to look for supported apps.
