GIGABYTE Expands Its AI PC Vision at CES 2026 with Advanced GiMATE and New Ultra-Thin Gaming Laptops

GIGABYTE, a global leader in computing technology, made waves at CES 2026 with the introduction of an expansive vision for AI-enabled PCs. Featuring a reimagined interface known as GiMATE, the brand aims to revolutionize the user experience by providing a more intuitive and productive environment. This year's showcase includes a new generation of ultra-thin gaming laptops, specifically designed to enhance performance while maintaining user-centric design principles.

GiMATE serves as GIGABYTE's exclusive AI agent, facilitating seamless control over system hardware and software. As GiMATE evolves, so does the ecosystem supporting it—with enhanced capabilities for power management, productivity, and creative tasks. The newly introduced AI Power Gear III solution brings forward several noteworthy features. One notable advancement is MUX switching, which allows users to toggle directly between discrete graphics and MSHybrid modes through GiMATE for optimized performance. This functionality allows for smarter energy management, as the automatic mode can deactivate the GPU to maximize battery life. Additionally, the Optimus mode ensures balanced and fluid performance, while Eco mode achieves extreme energy savings—optimizing power consumption whether on AC or battery.

For creators and developers, GiMATE now includes GiMATE Creator, which supports generative AI capabilities. Users can tap into Qwen-Image, a feature that enables visual AI generation based on prompts in both English and Chinese. This addition aims to broaden accessibility to powerful AI tools, catering to users across the globe seeking advanced creative capabilities. Furthermore, GiMATE Coder provides an intuitive bridge into coding by allowing natural language inputs to generate, debug, and optimize code. This makes programming more approachable for novices while speeding up iterations for experienced developers.

GIGABYTE's latest offerings include three cutting-edge laptop models designed to drive exceptional performance within impressively sleek designs. The AORUS MASTER 16 stands out as a flagship model, boasting a powerful AMD Ryzen™ 9 9955HX3D processor paired with the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5090 GPU within a remarkably thin chassis of just 19 mm—17% thinner than its predecessor. This design features WINDFORCE Infinity EX technology, which incorporates vapor chamber cooling and an asymmetrical Frost fan to redefine thermal management in ultrabooks.

Next in line is the GIGABYTE AERO X16, tailored for creators and mobile professionals. It is equipped with a series 400 AMD Ryzen™ AI processor, ensuring enhanced responsiveness and device AI acceleration capability, thus creating a notably powerful tool for creatives on the move. Lastly, the GIGABYTE GAMING A18 PRO perfectly marries performance with portability, maintaining a slender 20 mm profile with the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 GPU—ideal for gamers, creators, and those just beginning their journey into AI.
