Gigabyte had a massive focus on AI at CES this year, particularly on the data center side. But for consumer tech, the company focused hard on its laptop wing and accessories with refreshed systems across the line.
If you’re trying to pin down the Gigabyte launches most worthy of your time, these are the three to keep an eye on.
Aorus Master 16 AMD
The Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 was one of TechRadar’s best gaming laptops from Computex last year, and Gigabyte is showing off an AMD model at CES this year which you won’t want to miss.
With an AMD Ryzen Ryzen 9 9955HX3D processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU up to the RTX 5090, and a 16-inch, 240Hz OLED display the Aorus Master 16 AM6H is a worthy refresh of the 2025 Aorus Master 16. Of course, the major difference between the two versions of the Aorus Master 16 is the CPU, but the chassis is also 17% thinner than the 2025 model. Shaving down a gaming laptop by 17% is no easy feat in general. But if Gigabyte’s newer, slimmer Aorus Master 16 can get the same RTX 5090 performance, it’s an impressive bit of thermal engineering.
RTX 5060 Ti AI Box
While it is branded for AI, the RtX 5060 Ti AI Box is an eGPU enclosure that brings Nvidia Blackwell graphics to any laptop or handheld device thanks to its Thunderbolt 5 connection.
If you’ve got an older gaming laptop or an iGPU device that could use some extra gaming or LLM processing power, the RTX 5060 Ti AI Box is a solid way to upgrade without buying a whole new computer. And unlike the RTX 5090 AI Box, you can actually afford the 5060 Ti.
While the 5060 Ti AI Box isn’t exactly designed to be an on-the-go eGPU, it’s significantly more portable than the water-cooled RTX 5090 AI Box, which is another point in its favor. While neither Gigabyte eGPU is upgradeable, if you’re going to get an eGPU, it helps if you can take it on the go without worrying about your spinal integrity.
MO27Q28GR OLED
We’ve seen plenty of interesting monitors this year, between 5K IPS displays and low-latency OLEDs. But the Gigabyte MO2728GR stands out because of its proprietary Hyper-Nits technology, which can boost HDR brightness by up to 30% to increase screen brightness without blowing out highlight details or crushing lowlights.
The MO27Q28GR is a tandem OLED with a 1440p max resolution and a refresh rate of 280Hz, which is more than enough for most games. And it’s got an ultra-low latency with a 0.03ms response time.
