GIGABYTE - AORUS 16X (2024) Gaming Laptop - 165Hz 2560x1600 WQXGA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - Intel i7-14650HX - 1TB SSD with 32GB DDR5 RAM - Windows 11 Home AD (AORUS 16X ASG-53USC64SH)

This is a great laptop for the price. Can game alot of games in 1440p high settings well over 120 fps I get over 350 fps on rocket league max settings 1440p. Given the screen refresh rate, you will need a good monitor to actually get those frames. But the 165hz screen is nice. Keyboard quality is nice. The only complaint I have is the gigabyte rgb fusion software bugs out sometimes and resets my rgb setting but that's not a huge deal to me . Definitely worth the money imo.

The AROUS 16x is a fairly good upgrade from my previous laptop from 2019. It gives me what I want and need in a sleek enclosure which is good cause I was getting tired of designs that still is represented in most laptops mainly in the budget range.The specs are well balance and can comfortably run modern titles and productivity apps. The resolution makes the look of the games crisp and smooth with the 165hz refresh rate. This is a heavy hitter for the on-the-go gaming and productivity sessions. took mine with me on vacation and did a mini LAN with a friend and had no issues during it all.the only few things I will give points off is the how it behaves switching between integrated and GPU display. Also performance dramatically goes down if you are off the charger. It was fine out of the box but nearly 5 months in, its almost impossible to do basic tasks without needing to plug in. I'm sure there is some settings to fix the issues at hand but shouldn't have to unless I'm a massive power user.It a overall solid laptop with specs and a price that makes it a compelling option. With 50 Series laptops on the horizon, it may be even more of a steal if it goes on sale.

Really nice laptop! The screen is super sharp at 165Hz refresh rate, making games look smooth and clear. The NVIDIA RTX 4070 handles games very nicely, and the 32GB RAM keeps everything running fast. It starts up quickly thanks to the 1TB SSD, and Windows 11 feels great on it.

Do not buy this. I know you think it's a good idea but listen to the other bad reviews. It's screen was turning white and black and then the screen started just going black after I fixed that and the charger doesn't plug in all the way not worth it for $1,800

I wanted to wait a bit before giving my opinion and thoughts on this easy to travel with laptop. It's now been a bit over two weeks and here are my impressions. I promise I won't make this a huge review since others have posted benchmarks and gone into deep details, I will just give the good and bads for me personally. Just so you know I am coming from a Major Brand 17in 4k screen with a Nvidia 2080, that's enough specs just so you have an idea, I will cover my thoughts using that experience as a guide.One thing I loved about the gigabyte was its overall size and thickness made it so easy to take with me when leaving the home, my majorbrand not so much, it was a tank. My experience starting the Gigabyte was heaven it booted right up and went into set up quickly. With the gigabyte I lifted the lid hit start it led me to Wi-Fi password screen added password and downloads for windows started and 30 minutes later windows were done. Others have complained about the Giga command center, but I found it really easy to use and right away the software told me new firmware needed to be installed. It clearly walked me through the update letting you know what will happen during the process and everything was smooth. The 2k display is clear and easy to adjust as is the included Nvidia graphics card. For me personally I found gaming to be better than what I had, and it should have been. Overall working experience on this is a breeze and fans do ramp up when workload dictates it. As for gaming, I don't like using DLSS can't stand adding frames to anything, be it movies and certainly not games. It runs all my old games without issues like BO3, and COD WW2, Doom etc, play smoothly with this laptop. Some new AAA games I have to dial down the setting a bit to keep solid frame rates, but that's to be expected in a laptop. Both WIFI and wired network work well on this unit, zero dropout on Wi-Fi and zero on Bluetooth when tested to wireless headphones.My dislikes: The opening for the fans isn't good enough causing the computer to run warmer the holes are just too small. They advertise this as their gaming line but don't feed it enough air, so fans ramp high on normal settings. The power cord, it sticks next to all your plug ins may become an issue. They should have put it on the back or at least made the connection flush or used a different type of connector. This laptop gets loud but so does the major brand trying to cool the graphics cards, I just wished they would have down a better air intake design.Passible: Audio is ok for the size of the unit, its average at best. I use a separate dac/amp on the laptop so my headphones with Mic plugged into that. With that unit audio isn't an issue. The webcam works well for what it is, but our cheap computer for the grandchild actually has a screen that slides over the camera lens this doesn't offer that.Overall, this is a well-rounded laptop, very flexible at what it can do and a pleasure to transport compared to other company's laptops. Sorry the review was longer than intended, 4 stars.
