GIGABYTE unveils an expanded AI PC vision with a redesigned GiMATE Interface and a new generation of AI gaming laptops at CES 2026. Built for clearer navigation and faster decision-making, the updated GiMATE experience brings real-time system insights and intuitive, voice-driven control into one streamlined hub, advancing GIGABYTE’s commitment to truly adaptive, user-centric AI computing across its laptop lineup.
GiMATE AI Ecosystem and Smarter Power Control
GIGABYTE continues to expand its GiMATE AI ecosystem, its proprietary AI agent designed to unify hardware and software management for greater efficiency and usability. The introduction of AI Power Gear III adds a new level of flexibility by enabling direct MUX switching between Discrete Mode and MSHybrid through GiMATE. Power management is further refined with intelligent operating profiles: Auto Mode disables the GPU when running on battery to extend runtime, Optimus Mode balances smooth performance and efficiency, while Eco Mode prioritises maximum power savings on both AC and battery power.
Expanded AI Tools for Creators and Developers
GiMATE Creator broadens its generative AI capabilities with the integration of Qwen-Image, supporting both English and Chinese prompts to deliver accessible visual AI creation on a global scale. At the same time, GiMATE Coder simplifies software development by allowing users to generate, fix, and optimise code using natural language. This approach lowers the entry barrier for newcomers while helping experienced developers iterate more quickly and efficiently.
Next-Generation Thin-and-Light Performance Line-up
Leading the latest hardware showcase are three new notebook models designed to deliver higher performance within increasingly slim form factors. The AORUS MASTER 16 serves as GIGABYTE’s flagship system, combining an AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX3D processor with up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 Laptop GPU inside a 19mm chassis that is 17% thinner than the previous generation. Based on NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, GeForce RTX 50 Series Laptop GPUs introduce advanced AI capabilities, enhanced graphics fidelity, and performance gains through NVIDIA DLSS 4, alongside accelerated creative workflows via NVIDIA Studio. Thermal performance is handled by the WINDFORCE Infinity EX cooling system, which integrates a vapor chamber and asymmetric Frost Fan design.
Portable Performance for Creators and Gamers
Targeted at creators and mobile professionals, the GIGABYTE AERO X16 features AMD Ryzen™ AI 400 Series processors, delivering faster responsiveness, improved efficiency, and significantly stronger on-device AI acceleration. Rounding out the line-up, the GIGABYTE GAMING A18 PRO maintains a slim 20mm profile while supporting up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU, offering stable, well-balanced performance for gamers, content creators, and newcomers exploring AI-powered workloads.
