GIGABYTE laptops with Thunderbolt 5
Two Thunderbolt ports do not mean two Thunderbolt 5 ports on these AORUS laptops. The 16-inch ELITE 16 AE6H, 16-inch MASTER 16 AM6H and 18-inch MASTER 18 AM8H each have one TB5 port and one TB4 port. Short codes such as BWH or BXH identify a family, not the hardware in the box. Match the full retail SKU to keep the graphics chip, memory and storage tied to the version you are buying.

How to compare the AORUS families
AORUS is the gaming range represented in this part of the catalog, while ELITE and MASTER separate the families. ELITE 16 AE6H and MASTER 16 AM6H are 16-inch models, and MASTER 18 AM8H is the 18-inch model. The ELITE 16 uses a QHD+ display, the MASTER 16 uses OLED and the MASTER 18 uses Mini LED. Those names narrow the chassis and screen, but they do not specify one complete laptop. You still need the retail SKU to know the GPU, memory and storage attached to the listing.
GIGABYTE also publishes shorter family codes: BWH for ELITE 16, and combinations such as BXH, BYH or BZH for the MASTER models. Some of these fragments appear in more than one family, so they are not complete US retail SKUs. BWHC3USC64SH, for example, identifies the RTX 5070 ELITE 16 with 32GB of memory and 1TB of storage. Use the longer code in the comparison table for the MASTER configurations as well.
All three AORUS families on this page have one TB5 port and one TB4 port. The second Thunderbolt port should not be counted as another TB5 connection. Check the official port specification and plan around one direct TB5 connection. Since this layout is shared across all three families, compare the screen size, display type and complete graphics, memory and storage specification next.

Buying guidance
Choosing between the AORUS models
- Choose the chassis and screen first: ELITE 16 is 16-inch QHD+, MASTER 16 is 16-inch OLED and MASTER 18 is 18-inch Mini LED.
- Match BWHC3USC64SH to RTX 5070, BXHC4USE64SH to RTX 5070 Ti or BYHC5USD65SH to RTX 5080. Keep the memory and storage on that same SKU.
- Plan the setup around one TB5 connection. The other documented Thunderbolt port is TB4 on every AORUS family listed here.
