What do you guys think of the Gigabyte AORUS 16X?

[bryans]

That laptop has good specs and the sticker placement is spot on. What more could you want?

The bird poop stripe wipe on the keyboard

got this one about 2 weeks ago cuz my desktop died a while ago and im on the go very often so i figured, why not try out the laptop world.
all i can say is that im super happy and blown away by the performance. i can play every game i wanna play, i can edit videos and blender runs smooth with no issues. render time is even lower than i was used to. 30-50 sec per frame on my desktop. 4-7 sec on this laptop (same project)

and every other laptop i compared it to looked overpriced or not the right fit. more money worse specs or less money and even worse specs.
only 1 other model came close but only had one 1tb m2 instead of the two 1tb m2 that are in this one. and it costs 20$ more

keyboards ugly tho

I found a way better deal on the 2023 Aorus 17H. Has an i7 13700H; 32GB DDR5 5200, RTX 4080 150W, and a 1080p 360Hz screen. FOR $1400!!!

Can you replace the included SSD with one that's faster and has higher data capacity? As well as clone the original SSD?

[tonyk]

just realize, this laptop's display is only one ips panel with dolby vision and hdr support
other 500 nit ips display like Predator Helios neo 16 doesn't have

[catslover]

Does the thunderbolt 4 port support power delivery? It would be great to carry a small usb c power brick and leave the bulkier one at home for gaming.

Good laptop. I don't see anything particularly wrong with it. Well done Gigabyte.

Thanks for the review.

I went with the Strix G16 with the 4070 and 13980HX but idk if I made the right decision since I was looking at a g16x also with a 4070 but a 13650hx. The Aorus had 32gb of ram and a 2560x1600 res screen. Strix is only 1920x1200. EDIT: Cancelled my Strix and got the Aorus 16x 2024 model with the 4070 and 14900HX 😊

[tomosima]

I had the choice between this with 32 gb of ram the i9 14900hx and rtx4070 for 1935 euro and legion slim 5 for 1299 euro with i7 13700H, 16gb ram and rtx 4070. I bought the legion one and damn im super satisfied didn't really see the price difference was worth it maybe if it had a 4080.

[raphaelhanna]

Can you increase data capacity to 5 terabytes?

[proautoscan]

i like it, i also think last generation of Aorus was good value for money, especially the 4060 models

[Deyv.z]

Does this laptop have G-sync? None of the reviews mention it :(

[jaguareagle]

Is 16X a brand new model because on best buy I found an Aorus 16x with 13th gen cpu?

[Halocraft]

On Amazon its $1699 right now I REALLY want to pull the trigger to replace my Acer predator triton 500SE (11th gen i7, 3060) and this laptop is better or equal to that one in every way besides the build quality. Im happy the trackpad is glass but idk about a plastic chassis... its not a deal breaker because the price is insane but still

[aleks-gvnk]

Does it have a problem with the charger not fully plugged?

[trev]

What is the name of the application or website you use to play games

[adsonmettler]

Hey Matt, please, do a review of the Lemur Pro from System 76!! That would be great for comparing performance and usability too, to check if it is what it is!!

[omarcortes]

It doesn't feel as cheap as previous models and it's not extremely expensive.
