The Gigabyte GAMING A16 PRO and A18 are here to blur the line between portable gaming and AI-powered productivity.
Gigabyte GAMING A16 PRO and A18 blend power and battery life

Laptops with beastly GPUs usually don’t last long unplugged. But Gigabyte’s new GAMING A16 PRO and A18 defy that trend, promising up to 12 hours of use. Both models ship with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPUs, Dolby Atmos audio, and 165Hz WQXGA displays. Whether you’re pushing high frames or exporting video projects, they’re built to handle it.
Gigabyte GAMING A16 PRO and A18 introduce GiMATE AI assistant
GiMATE is Gigabyte’s first in-house AI assistant, and it’s baked into both laptops. It lets users adjust settings like cooling modes, GPU usage, and privacy using just their voice. While you’re gaming, GiMATE can tweak system performance in real-time, reducing the need to dive into menus mid-session.
Not just gaming, creative workflows benefit too
These aren’t just play machines. The A16 PRO and A18 also support NVIDIA Studio and NIM microservices for AI-driven productivity. With DLSS 4 onboard and fast display response times (3 ms), they’re ready for both fast-paced games and intensive creative work.
Here’s what sets the GAMING A16 PRO and A18 apart
- RTX 5080 Laptop GPU support
- GiMATE AI voice assistant built-in
- WQXGA 165Hz displays with Dolby Atmos audio
- 12-hour battery life
- Refined keyboard with 1.7 mm travel and larger keycaps
- DLSS 4 and NVIDIA Studio optimization
This mix of features gives the laptops more range than most in their category.
Gigabyte GAMING A16 PRO is ultra-slim but performance-packed
The A16 PRO weighs just 2.3 kg and stays under 20 mm thick, making it the more portable of the two. Inside, it uses the WINDFORCE Infinity EX system and a new Frost Fan with 158 asymmetric blades to keep heat under control without bulking up the frame.
A18 offers a larger display and a broader thermal design
For users who prioritize screen size, the A18 steps in with its 18-inch panel and a slightly larger chassis. Still only 20 mm thick, it includes a surround-vent cooling system aimed at sustained gaming or creative performance without thermal throttling.
The Gigabyte GAMING A16 PRO and A18 aren’t just new laptops, they’re a shift toward AI-aware gaming rigs. If you want long battery life, raw power, and voice-tuned performance in one frame, this duo might be your next move.
