At CES 2026, GIGABYTE Broadens Its AI PC Visionwith New Ultra-Thin AI Gaming and Smarter GiMATE

At CES 2026, GIGABYTE—one of the world’s leading computer brands—unveiled an expanded vision for AI-powered PCs, introducing a redesigned GiMATE interface alongside a new generation of AI gaming laptops. Designed for clearer navigation and faster decision-making, the updated GiMATE experience puts real-time system insights and intuitive voice control into a single, streamlined hub. This marks another step forward in GIGABYTE’s commitment to adaptive, user-centric AI computing across its laptop lineup.

GiMATE: Smarter Control, Simplified

GiMATE, GIGABYTE’s exclusive AI agent, continues to evolve as the central control point for both hardware and software. With smarter automation and deeper system awareness, it now delivers more intelligent power management, productivity tools, and creative features.

One of the biggest upgrades is AI Power Gear III, which allows users to switch directly between Discrete Mode and MSHybrid through GiMATE. Power behavior is now more adaptive:

• Auto Mode disables the GPU while on battery to extend runtime
• Optimus Mode balances smooth performance and efficiency
• Eco Mode focuses on extreme power savings, whether on AC power or battery

For creators, GiMATE Creator expands its generative AI tools with the addition of Qwen-Image, supporting both English and Chinese prompts to enable powerful visual creation for users worldwide. Meanwhile, GiMATE Coder makes development more accessible by allowing natural-language code generation, correction, and optimization—helping beginners get started while speeding up workflows for experienced developers.

A New Generation of Thin, Powerful Laptops

Leading GIGABYTE’s CES 2026 showcase are three new laptops that push performance further while maintaining impressively slim designs.

AORUS MASTER 16
The AORUS MASTER 16 stands as GIGABYTE’s flagship powerhouse. It combines an AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX3D processor with up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 Laptop GPU, all packed into an ultra-thin 19mm chassis—17% thinner than the previous generation.

Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell, the GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPUs bring massive AI horsepower to both gamers and creators. Users can enjoy next-level graphics fidelity, faster image generation, and performance boosts with NVIDIA DLSS 4, along with creative acceleration through NVIDIA Studio. To keep thermals in check, the AORUS MASTER 16 features the WINDFORCE Infinity EX cooling system, combining a vapor chamber with an asymmetric Frost Fan for a major leap in thermal design.

GIGABYTE AERO X16
Built for creators and users on the move, the AERO X16 is powered by AMD Ryzen™ AI 400 series processors, delivering faster responsiveness, improved efficiency, and significantly stronger on-device AI acceleration.

GIGABYTE GAMING A18 PRO
Rounding out the lineup is the GAMING A18 PRO, which balances a slim 20mm profile with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU. Tuned for stability and performance, it’s designed for gamers, creators, and newcomers exploring AI-powered workflows.
