    As a new owner of an aero 15 oled model with rtx 2060, do you all think it's worth doing a clean windows install? Or just running with the stock setup?

    Oh I’m jealous!

    I don’t recall there being anything crazy on these laptops to justify a partition wipe and fresh OS.

    You'll need the Gigabyte Control Center at least for the fan control, toggle a few things off such as the Killer garbage and get your Pantone calibration back. Apparently these are individually calibrated.

    so far im loving the computer except for 1 thing. the battery life is quite a bit less than i expected. I used to own a gtx1060 aero 15 and that got close to 10 hours battery life, now im getting around 5-6 with this one without the clean isntall

    UHD OLED has shown to be a bit of a battery drain even over basic UHD IPS.
