I would say mostly yes. Make sure it's dual-chanell ram.

I can't compare it to the GS66, still waiting for my review unit. That surely has an edge on battery life, and it might get faster SSD storage out of the box. Not sure about performance, thermals, etc yet

Do you think for $1579 this laptop is a good deal for the 2070 and 240Hz? I feel like that is pretty good vs. the MSI GS66 which is more pricey. Think I'm going to give the laptop a try.

If there is 1 thing you love and 1 thing you hate about the laptop what would it be?

no, the G15 is the only one with that sort of design. The G14 and M15 and others have open intakes

It's in the works, video and article. Should be up in a day or two.

I'm actually confused by this M15 and the S15 model. They look virtual the same, other than a few different hardware options, is there much difference between this and the s15?
Maybe you could do an article showing the difference, cosmetically they look identical, no?

I haven't reviewed the Aero 15 yet. Peak temperatures in the high 90s aren't that much of an issue imo, as long as average temperatures are in the 80s or lower.

The CPU getting close to 100C is very scary. Doesn't the Gigabyte Aero 15 throttle at 90C? I know the TJ max is 100C for the 10th gen Intel chips, but having to rely on that just shows how bad the cooling system of this laptop is.

How would you compare it to the g14?
