Something to consider, this is the XE4 with the DDR4 vs the XE5 with DDR5 which is FP for just $50 more.

They are different things.

This one is 15.6 incher. The other one is Aero 16 which is 16 inch.

This one has a weird angle for the camera. Coupled with different DDR4 vs 5...

Correct, one is 16:10 another is 16:9. The Aero 5 has 3070ti 130w and a bit thicker chassis for better cooling and has ports on the side.

Is this one with 130w gpu going to be a lot better for gaming and frames compared to the aero 16 with 105w?

Yes, this one will performance better than the Aero 16. However you can flash the vbios on the Aero 16 to get the same performance as this one.

I dont know why but the reviews for xe5 are way worse. Makes me wonder what other differences there are.

I bought this and just returned it because it had a green tint to the screen that wouldn't go away. It would be especially pronounced in dark scenes in movies. A green foggy tint about two inches thick on the left side of the screen and in the center. Not sure if this is a problem on all of them...It's too bad because it's an otherwise beautiful screen. Tried updating drivers and only ended up getting worse. Gigabyte's solution to the green tint didn't help either. Pretty disappointed. Hope it's not a common issue if you choose to buy. I didn't test it besides basic usage. There's more issues with other people who bought this model so do your research

I know going from 15.6" to 17" is a big difference but going from 15.6" to 16"? is 0.4" that different?

It's a different build altogether, also the webcam is on the top on the newer model vs this model where the webcam is on the bottom bezel of the screen.

But yea, it's up to you to decide if that works for you. Similar price.
