(Press Release) GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced the availability of the AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX. This compact and portable external graphics solution provides a dramatically scalable upgrades for the ultrabook performance by integrating the powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5060 Ti 16GB GPU (Blackwell architecture). Utilizing the latest Thunderbolt™ 5 ultra-high-speed interface, the AI BOX delivers near-desktop-level GPU graphics performance to thin-and-light laptops. With its substantial 16GB VRAM, the AI BOX enhances work efficiency for gaming, content creation, and critical AI applications. Furthermore, its compact design and WINDFORCE cooling system make it easy to carry alongside your ultrabook, delivering powerful performance with exceptional portability and quiet comfort anytime, anywhere.

Unlock Extra Performance for Gaming, Creation, and AI

The AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX transforms ultrabooks into versatile powerhouses for gaming, creating, and AI applications. Leveraging Thunderbolt™ 5, it delivers near-desktop-level graphics for smooth 1080p to 2K gaming with DLSS 4. Equipped with 16GB of VRAM, the NVIDIA Blackwell-based GeForce RTX™ 5060 Ti comfortably handles large 3D model files for creative professionals and is the optimal choice for AI newcomers looking to execute lightweight models securely, keeping all data private on your PC.

Compact Design for Easy Portability

The AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX features a new compact and ultra-lightweight design, minimizing both size and mass for effortless portability alongside your ultrabook. Through Thunderbolt™ 5, the AI BOX can also deliver up to 100W power to charge your ultrabook, eliminating the need for its dedicated power adapter. Furthermore, it supports both horizontal and vertical orientations (via a magnetic stand), giving users flexible setup options.

The AI BOX features the WINDFORCE cooling system, integrating multiple cutting-edge technologies for superior performance. Key innovations include the newly designed Hawk Fan (with alternate spinning to boost both air pressure and volume), paired with composite copper heat pipes, copper plate contact with the GPU, and 3D active fan. Crucially, server-grade thermal conductive gel is applied to critical components (VRAM/MOSFET). This gel ensures optimal contact with high conformity and deformation resistance. These thermal technologies guarantee maximum GPU performance while maintaining outstanding stability and quiet operation.

Leveraging the latest Thunderbolt™ 5 interface, the AI BOX achieves near-desktop-level GPU performance via bi-directional high bandwidth. This single-cable solution also provides up to 100W Power Delivery. Furthermore, the AI BOX acts as a premium I/O expansion hub, offering essential ports like Thunderbolt™ 5 interface, Ethernet (for stable gaming), HDMI/DisplayPort (supporting up to four external displays), and multiple USB(A/C) connections. This transforms your ultrabook into a fully equipped, high-efficiency workstation or entertainment center.

The AORUS RTX 5060 Ti AI BOX, first unveiled at GIGABYTE's September 2025 product launch event, is now officially available for purchase. Furthermore, the immensely powerful AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX continues to be a top seller.
