Aorus 17, the mastodon of the new line of aorus notebooks

From Taiwan , we are receiving numerous news from companies attending Computex 2019. From AORUS we present the latest gaming laptop in its next-gen line, the AORUS 17.

The next-gen MVP , the AORUS 17

AORUS 17 body and keyboard

We have seen and fiddled with the three lower versions of the AORUS 17, however we can easily determine that this is the most cutting edge version.

Like the others, this laptop shares certain components and technologies, although in the different models that we can buy we already see some important differences.

First of all, it is a device with the name All Intel Inside , which means that it has the SSD memory, the Wi-Fi receiver and the processor signed by the multinational Intel . On the other hand, it also has Microsoft's Azure Artificial Intelligence and NAHIME 3 3D Surround Sound sound drivers.

In its internal components it has features such as Samsung RAM with frequencies of 2666MHz and a ninth generation Intel i7 or i9 processor . A significant improvement over its lower versions.

As a differentiating feature, we believe that we can highlight that its keyboard is mechanical. The keys have the mechanism adapted for laptops, so they take advantage of all the strengths of classic mechanics. The keyboard is backlit and we can customize each key individually, a function that we can combine with the LEDs on the base of the device.

In addition, for this laptop we can only install graphics from the RTX 20 line . GIGABYTE AORUS has not yet released more specific information, but it is probably the RTX 2070, 2080 and / or 2080Ti.

As for the monitor, we can choose between three variants:

• 1080p 144Hz 1080p 240Hz 4k HDR 60Hz

Each screen is designed for a different audience, the last one standing out for being excellent for multimedia reproduction. In addition, for this task, this laptop mounts an ESS sound DAC , so we will have great and clear audio.

Finally, we will talk about the body of the laptop, which is created to be resistant. The construction is robust, making the laptop durable and we estimate that it weighs around 3.0 or 3.5Kg . In addition, it has many racks throughout the chassis to keep components cool, a feature that we certainly appreciate.

The power value

This laptop is intended to be one of AORUS ' flagships, which will go head-to-head against the best in the industry. With its configuration of a ninth-generation Intel i9 , a possible RTX 2080 Ti and a 240Hz display, it can become one of the kings of the ultra-top range.

However, money knocks on our door. We cannot demand power, design and low prices in the same product. We are sure that the AORUS 17 is a device with power to spare and designed to the millimeter to take advantage of every existing gap. This leaves us with one of the three loose options, that is, the price.

A team as good as this we believe that it will come out for an approximate price of € 3, 000 or € 4, 000, so, if in previous versions we were already talking about high prices, here they achieve a new meaning.

Would you buy a laptop as powerful as this? Do you prefer a powerful laptop or a desktop computer? This and much more at Computex 2019, so let us know what you think about the event.
