Presuming you're relatively careful, you'll easily get through an entire working day on a single charge.Īn innovation I really liked was the use of hinges to be able to include a USB-A slot on both sides of the Aero 13. Using it over the course of an extended day I was able to get into the late evening before I had to plug it in for extra juice. The battery life is also very good, providing you don't have it at maximum settings and are planning streaming on Twitch for 12 hours straight. I don't think this is intended as a gaming laptop but knowing that it's capable of playing even some brand new games is a major positive, in my view. The bottom got warm, but with the fan blowing the hot air from the back of the keyboard up past the screen the heat dissipated better than I'd expected. Even then, it was still quieter than my work laptop on a normal day. That was the only time I heard the fan on the Aero 13 make any real noise, as I'd expect when it's getting pushed that hard. The quality of the graphics was excellent and I'd have no hesitation in playing the game again on the laptop. Despite a warning that the graphics card wasn't supported, it loaded up just fine and I was able to drive around Mexico creating all kinds of havoc without issue.
