GIGABYTE has expanded its flagship gaming laptop portfolio in India with the launch of a new AMD Ryzen 9-powered version of the AORUS MASTER 16 Gen 2. The latest model combines AMD's latest high-performance processor with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop graphics and GIGABYTE's new GiMATE AI companion, positioning the laptop as a premium machine for gamers, creators, developers, and AI professionals.
The announcement comes as AI-powered PCs continue to gain traction across both gaming and professional workloads. Rather than focusing solely on raw hardware performance, GIGABYTE is also introducing software-driven AI experiences through GiMATE, aiming to simplify system management while improving productivity and gaming performance.
AORUS MASTER 16 Specifications And Features
One of the biggest additions to the refreshed AORUS MASTER 16 Gen 2 is GiMATE, GIGABYTE's in-house AI companion designed to make everyday laptop usage more intuitive.
Unlike conventional AI assistants that primarily focus on content generation, GiMATE functions as an intelligent control centre that allows users to optimise system performance, personalise settings, and switch between different usage scenarios through a unified interface. Whether gaming, editing videos, writing code, or working with AI applications, the software automatically adapts the system to match different workloads. According to GIGABYTE, the objective is to reduce unnecessary complexity and allow users to spend less time adjusting settings and more time focusing on their work or gameplay.
The latest AORUS MASTER 16 Gen 2 is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU, targeting users who need desktop-class performance in a portable form factor.
GIGABYTE says the hardware is capable of handling modern AAA games, AI applications, software development, real-time rendering, cinematic content creation, and demanding 3D workflows.
The performance package is complemented by a 16-inch OLED display, offering high colour accuracy, deep contrast, and smooth visuals suitable for both competitive gaming and professional creative work. The laptop also incorporates an advanced thermal solution to sustain performance under heavy workloads while offering premium audio and comprehensive connectivity.
Availability
The AMD Ryzen 9-powered AORUS MASTER 16 Gen 2 will be available through GIGABYTE's authorised retail partners and leading online platforms across India. The company has not announced pricing yet and says availability details will be revealed separately.
AI is becoming a defining feature of premium laptops, but most brands have so far focused on integrating Microsoft's Copilot and dedicated NPUs. GIGABYTE is taking a slightly different approach by pairing flagship hardware with its own AI companion that manages performance and system behaviour. If GiMATE delivers meaningful real-world improvements alongside the Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 5070 Ti GPU, the AORUS MASTER 16 Gen 2 could appeal to users looking for a single laptop that balances gaming, content creation, software development, and AI workloads without requiring multiple software utilities.
