Aorus has been making quite the name for itself in the gaming notebook space and today, it is expanding its range with the X7 and X5S, bringing raw power in an extremely slim design with Intel Skylake processors, Nvidia graphics and the option for a 4K UHD display.
The X5S is first on the list, with a thin and light design, packing an Intel Core i7 6700HQ, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and an 8GB GTX 980m powering the 15.6″ 4K IPS display. Storage needs are also covered with a 256GB mSSD and a 1TB HDD, coming in at £2099.99.
Next up is the Aorus X7 Pro, which focusses on packing in a ton of power with an Intel Core i7 6820HK, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD and dual GTX 970m GPUs running in SLI. There is also a 17.3-inch 1080p display with Nvidia G-Sync technology, allowing the GPUs to control the screen's refresh rate while gaming. This one hits retail at £2399.99 so it is definitely a pricey investment.
KitGuru Says: While both laptops are expensive, they certainly pack in some high-performance components. Are any of you currently looking into grabbing a gaming laptop? Do you have any experience with Aorus?
The second one looks more appearing. 4k Gaming on a laptop is pointless.
Sagernotebook was the closest I could find to the sweet spot. 15″ 1080p, 980m, gsync, and USB 3.1c/TB3 (External g-card)
