    Hey together,

    my first post here. I came to this forum by looking around for information about the Aero 15x v8 and I found the collection thread to be extraordinarily helpful - so thanks @margroloc for compiling all the stuff in there.

    I got my unit some weeks ago and I wanted to start my new blog with a post that reviews the issues I found with it and explains in general why I've choosen it.

    It can be found here: https://burningforit.com/index.php/2018/08/17/gigabyte-aero-15x-v8-current-buyer-experience/

    Note: I'm not a native speaker but living in Germany, so excuse some goofy language here and there (although I think, it isn't that bad).

    Especially the part on reviewing known issues might be helpful for others and the thread: https://burningforit.com/index.php/...rent-buyer-experience/#Common_issues_reviewed

    In general, I'm relatively happy with the system for now, although I most likely will apply some undervolting after finally do my clean installation setup.

    Open for feedback and thoughts if you want to share them.

    Greetings

    A bit OT but where did you buy it? Have been trying to find one in Sweden but almost impossible these days (same goes for Aorus laptops).

    Really nice review also, which I am yet to read all of.

    First, I'm from Germany, so I don't know about the details. I've got my unit from Alternate. They've some information on international shipping here although I don't know it for sure: https://www.alternate.de/html/theme/12526
    Also, the Aero FHD is currently at stock at them: https://www.alternate.de/html/product/1440675

    Another solid retailer here in Germany is Caseking. They're also having both versions of the Aero, but only the 4k version on stock currently. See here and here.

    Couldn't find something on an English site, but I would be surprised if they can't provide it through email.
