Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE AERO 17 HDR

Strengths

The laptop is stable in a way that some of the previous Aros that I've reviewed haven't been.
It's thin, it's light, and getting better-looking.
The horsepower in here and the cooling are super impressive.
The 4k display on this is very nice.
The keyboard has RGB key backlighting, although not perfect, makes up for it with good performance.
Battery life is pretty good, with about 6 hours of usage

Weaknesses

No secondary keys are backlit which can be a bit annoying
Keyboard's travel is short, not ideal for heavy typing users
Speakers don't have much base and would benefit from using external speakers or headphones.
Priced on the expensive side but you get good stuff for your money.
Multimedia keys are not backlit which can be a minor inconvenience.
The trackpad's sister keys ( multimedia/secondary keys) are not backlit, making them hard to see when using with RGB backlight.

GIGABYTE U4

Strengths

The laptop is super lightweight, making it easy to carry around.
It has a fast boot up time, allowing me to get to work instantly.
The CPU and GPU are decent enough for general workload and occasional gaming.
The keyboard type style is soft and comfortable to type on.
The battery life keeps me going throughout the day.

Weaknesses

The laptop can get a little hot above the keyboard after being on for a good few hours.
The cooling system has a small fan that may not be sufficient for high-performance tasks.
The speakers lack bass, but do provide decent volume and clear dialogue.
The webcam's video quality is nice and sharp, but there are some minor concerns with inconsistent light.
The laptop may struggle to play high-performance games due to its hardware limitations.
