Aorus has a few notebooks in its portfolio, which can be found in every price category. From high-priced devices to cheap gaming notebooks at the 1000 Euro limit, everything is there. So also the Aorus 5 KB. Despite quite potent hardware, the notebook costs about 1,300 Euros and is thus in the good midfield. How does the price come about, and does the hardware still make a good impression ?
Packaging and accessories
The Aorus 5 KB arrives safely packed. In addition to the obligatory operating instructions, we find the power cable including power supply unit in the box and of course the notebook itself. As it seems to be usual with Aorus, a pad for M.2 SSDs is also included.
Features
The Aorus 5 KB relies on a barebone from Clevo. Besides good hardware, this means very good expandability. Gigabyte uses an Intel i7-10750H as CPU, together with 16 GB RAM and a RTX 2060 Mobile. For data storage there is a M.2 SSD with 512 GB memory.
The Aorus 5 KB also has more than enough connections. The connections on the backside are especially advantageous, because there you can connect a LAN and HDMI cable as well as the power supply. So you can have a good cable management on your desk even with a notebook. For a possible additional monitor there is even USB 3.2 including DisplayPort 1.4 available.
For additional devices you have three more USB ports. On the right side a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A and on the left side two, each USB 3.2 Gen1 and USB 2.0 Type A. For connecting audio devices we find two 3.5 mm jack connectors on the left side. The Aorus 5 KB also has an SD card reader.
In addition to the Gigabit LAN port on the back, the Aorus 5 KB also features Bluetooth 5.0 and WiFi 6 (802.11ax). The display also has a 15.6-inch IPS panel with a FullHD resolution at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.
Design and workmanship
As mentioned in the beginning Aorus uses a barebone from Clevo for this model. The case is completely made of plastic, but has no manufacturing defects whatsoever. Due to the material used, some costs were certainly saved. Furthermore all gaps are even. If you have fears about the robustness of plastic, we can dispel them directly. Only the palm rest gives way a little.
In the past the hinges of notebooks were a big problem because the displays wobbled quickly. This is not the case with the Aorus 5 KB. With only one hand the display can be opened up to about 120 degrees without problems. The hinges hold the position perfectly.
Black seems to be THE color among gaming notebooks, because the Gigabyte Aorus 5 KB is also completely black. Accents are provided by the white outline of the keys on the keyboard, and of course the existing RGB lighting. The Aorus logo on the lid provides for the recognition value.
Display
The display of the Gigabyte Aorus 5 KB consists of an IPS panel with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (Full-HD). A refresh rate of 144 Hertz is also used. We don’t find exact specifications for the illumination in the notebook’s specifications, but we can attest the display a good illumination. If the picture is completely black, we can clearly see “screen bleeding” in the upper right corner.
The color settings ex factory are almost perfect, at least within the limits of what is possible with this display. But some fine tuning won’t hurt, especially with regard to personal preferences.
Software
By default, the Aorus Gaming Center and the Nahimic 3 software is pre-installed on the Gigabyte Aorus 5 KB. Various power modes can be selected via the manufacturer’s software. For example, you can set the notebook to always be in power mode and get the most out of the hardware. Or if you need some quiet in your home office, you can use the silent mode to work relaxed without the fans turning up extremely high.
In addition, macros can be created and the key assignment can be changed. Helpful is the “Flexikey” function, so you can assign the keys several times. Since RGB lighting is available, it must of course also be adjustable. But with the Aorus 5 KB not much frills are possible. There are 15 lighting effects, which effectively means 15 different colors. Last but not least, even the fans can be adjusted freely.

Performance in practical test
The Aorus 5 KB is clearly aimed at gamers. With the offered hardware the notebook should be able to play games in Full-HD. We let the benchmarks run in performance mode with automatic fan adjustment.
System performance
And as you can see, the Aorus 5 KB can handle current games in Full-HD at least on high settings, but even maximum settings are no problem. The i7-10875H together with the RTX 2060 do a good job.

Mass storage
512 GB of storage space are in short supply nowadays, but the built-in NVMe-SSD is as fast as an arrow. Fortunately, other SSDs can be connected as well, this is where the barebone shows its advantages.

Battery life
In our test, the Gigabyte Aorus 5 KB has a battery life of 4 1/2 hours with normal working and surfing behavior. A gaming notebook is also difficult to use for mobile gaming, but the battery is sufficient for a short round of casual gaming. We reached a full battery charge after about 2 hours.
Conclusion
The fact that the Aorus 5 KB is set to a barebone has only advantages. The workmanship is very good, the built-in hardware is convincing and because of the barebone even the expandability is right. Often in high-end notebooks many things are not exchangeable or expandable. With the Aorus 5 KB the battery can be exchanged easily, and even two more data carriers can be installed.
