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.
