Gigabyte unleashes the beast with its super thin Aorus X7 gaming laptop

When it comes to PC gaming, laptops tend to exist mesomorphic and heavy machines that are aught about portable. While we accept seen competitors effort to boxing Dell's Alienware subsidy with thinner machines, such every bit Razer's Blade notebook, zilch can seem to hitting the right remainder of power, portability, and price. Gigabyte intends to help change that with their latest gaming car, the Aorus X7.

Gigabyte is a company known for its interior gaming desktop hardware, but the Aorus 10 vii is aimed to modify that perception. The unit itself has a 17 inch 1080p Total Hard disk drive matte display and is backed by two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M graphic cards. On the processing stop, the unit houses Intel's latest Haswell CPU and your game data will live safely across multiple Solid Country Bulldoze and Hard disk Bulldoze solutions.

The unit itself measures in at less than an inch thick, 0.9 inches to be exact, and weighs vi.4 pounds. While the weight might sound heavy, a 17 inch gaming laptop at less than half-dozen and a half pounds is win for the serious gamer on the get.

The unit appears to be a matte finish, so no worry near greasy fingerprints while eating Cheetos and trying to "pwn" some noobs in Counter Strike: Global Offense. The built in keyboard is a full sized keyboard that too has five programmable macro keys on the left mitt side.

The aluminum body has room for all of the ports one can desire, the sides include two HDMI outputs, two USB 3.0 ports, one Ethernet port, and fifty-fifty a VGA port. Ports aren't the merely items living on the outside of unit, the Aorus X7 also features two subwoofers and ii tweeters for the ultimate multimedia experience.

The X7 will be available this Feb and will start at $two,099 ($2,799 maxed out). While the price sounds loftier (and technically it is), it is a not bad deal in comparison to other competitor's units such as the Razer Blade.
