Purchased this after checking out the Razer Blade and I?ve found the Gigabyte Aero 14 to be much more superior in many aspects. Price, specs, quality, size/weight, everything about this laptop has impressed me over Razer?s similar gaming laptop.My biggest issues with the Razer were the loudness of the fans when gaming and the heat on the palm-rests. After about 10-15 minutes of gaming, the fans would spin up to an incredibly loud volume to the point where it becomes very difficult to hear game audio. In the same amount of time, the palm rest area of the laptop would get so hot that it would be very uncomfortable to rest my palms on the chassis for an extended amount of time.I?m very glad I was able to move over to the Gigabyte Aero 14 - I?ve had zero issues and nothing but a positive experience with this laptop, definitely would recommend to others if they?re looking for a very slim and powerful laptop.-Kevin

Good performance at a reasonable price and weight.

I bought this laptop as a replacement for my old Aspire S7, tempted by the beautiful screen, powerful GPU/CPU at a reasonable price and weight. I was not dissapointed.I loved the fact that this comes with 2 ram slots, and only uses one of them.I plan to use this notebook every day for both working and gaming. Although installing linux alongside windows, and managing both video cards with a dual monitor setup in linux was really challenging and required a lot of manual configuration, I manage to get it to work.With the extra 16 gb of RAM that I installed, got excellent performance, on both games and gpu computation with CuNN.Recommended.

it boasts fantastic battery life and an incredible portability

This laptop is the embodiment of the saying "looks can be deceiving". Wow. This thing is a powerhouse. And at the same time, it boasts fantastic battery life and an incredible portability. The keys are satisfying to press, the trackpad is fairly decent, the macro keys are a welcome addition to any gamer's arsenal.I will make the caveat that I've had the product for about 48 hours now so everything I'm saying is based on my initial experience. But everything is as advertised and I'm extremely glad I made the decision to go with the Gigabyte Aero 14.Seriously, if you're considering buying the Aero 14, pull the trigger and you will not be disappointed.

Finally got to open the box today!PROS:* Feels sturdy for such a small/thin laptop* Keyboard has a nice feel so far. The macro key placement takes a little getting used to, but nothing 5 minutes can't fix.* So far, very quiet.* Has all of the external ports I need.* Price vs Performance is great!CONS:* Came with a fair amount of software and applications I did not want (bloatware)* Not so much a con, but something takes some getting used to (for me anyway). The mouse takes a bit of getting used to if you arent used to being able to left-click anywhere on the mouse pad. If your muscle memory keeps taking you to the bottom left to click it will move the pointer way from its current location. Your best bet is to click with the finger you are using to move the cursor.
