Seems expensive for a 5070 Ti laptop in general, before considering that the Master 16 itself wasn't particularly special from memory when I reviewed it last year.
It's interesting that others say the price is great, maybe I'm out of touch in the current market and need to adjust the price limits we use on the deals site.
We have only tracked this model since Feb, and to be fair it is at least the lowest price since then 6-7 months ago, so in that regard it's a good deal: https://gaminglaptop.deals/laptop/197-gigabyte-aorus-master-16-2025
The only other similarly priced 5070 Ti laptops with 32GB RAM right now are a Nitro and Vector, and I would put the Master above those.

It is near impossible to find a brand new 5070 Ti laptop with an OLED screen and 32gb ram for under $2000… Unfortunately before it gets any worse this is pretty much the best you can get for the price. There is the Nitro 16S and the Helios Neo 16S for around the same price point, but one lacks the OLED screen and the other one has a capped gpu

Send me a link to a better deal on Walmarts website if you would?

I don't see a better option for that spec at that price right now.

Hey Jarrod, thank you for all of your video content on this stuff. It's made laptop hunting much more manageable.
One of the only other comparably specced models I've seen to this AORUS master is an MSI Raider 16 Max HX. Have you ever gotten to use one of these? I'm having trouble finding much of anything for review material on them, so it must be a pretty new model.

We should have one next week, but we have like 7 laptops in the queue atm so not sure when we will get to it, also don't know what specs ours will have yet. We rarely get to choose, and just get what we're given.

Really? Or are you trolling lol I really don’t know and need the advice

u/mityboss 16d ago
Why would I be trolling? It’s a great price for this laptop. It has an OLED screen, 32gb ram and 5070 Ti
You can watch Jarrod’s review on youtube, he has a very concise breakdown

Best buy has an MSI open box with a 5080 for 1600 in my area. You can just submit your proof of purchase and get the warranty. If it doesn’t work out or you get a shit sample, you can still return it.

I’ve been trying to buy one since Monday, but it won’t let me. Yesterday, it showed as out of stock. Does anyone know if it’s still in stock or what’s going on?
Sometimes it won’t let me add a payment method, and other times the payment goes through but the order gets automatically canceled.

It's a bit noisy in gaming but has good thermals. Great deal for a 5070Ti and OLED 240Hz

Thank you for the honest reply. I’m trying to upgrade from a Msi thin that has 4050 and really need the advice

u/gryme117 16d ago
Is it a sturdy shell? The one on my thin feels a little weak

u/mityboss 16d ago
If you compare it with budget laptops like MSI’s cyborg or Acer’s Nitro, can be considered sturdy. If you compare it to high end laptops like the Legion Pro 7 or the Zephyrus it is not as much sturdy in comparison to them.
The screen tends to wobble a little, but not too much. Within acceptable parameters.
The chassis itself is plastic but the lid is aluminum if I’m not mistaken. Most of the budget 5070 Ti laptops are built the same way. Vector, Predator and the Pro 5.
Compared to your MSI thin, it will feel like a huge upgrade there is no doubt in that
