Here we test the Gigabyte Aero 15X-CF2 ‘s storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1.
The Samsung SM961 is renowned as one of the quickest NVMe drives on the market, and its benchmark scores didn’t disappoint. Its sequential read and write results of 3,186MB/s and 1,625MB/s are only a little bit behind the speeds offered by Samsung’s consumer high-end SSDs, and they help the Gigabyte feel consistently responsive. Applications are fast to load, and the machine boots in seconds.
This SSD is about as good as it gets at this part of the market – if you want more speed or capacity, prices will ramp up.
Prefer the proper heavy gaming laptops like my MSI laptop from 2014. Don’t see the point of these thin max-q laptops at all.
That’s an interesting cpu the ‘77700HQ ‘ one to many 7’s but then again It might be new knowing Intels naming system
Being able to use it for something else than gaming. Like sending email at the beach for 8 hours straight on battery power, bringing it on vacation without breaking the back, etc.
I like those huge bricks myself, even bought a MSI GT80S with 18 inch screen.
But I can see the point in this laptop. Mobile power.
Given that this is virtually the same but with more power, how come it got a whole point less than the Aero 15? Is it because of the heat issues when stressing both the CPU and GPU simultaneously?
