The 17x looks like it's been styled to appeal to 13 year olds with a price that only grown adults can afford!

Looks hideous! Sorry

price that only grown adults can afford!

@tamzzy - Pre-orders seem to contradict your well informed opinion. Regarding "equivalents" from competitors, contradiction in terms, you are comparing Apples and Bananas.

Thanks for taking the time to comment though,

Wonder if the 17x is loud as the model it replaces. That would be my only gripe. Because it was like a jet taking off even playing less demanding titles

Hi @Furos - the 17X is completely new model in the UK and hasn't replaced anything, as such. Its new chassis, and newly engineered cooling system.

Of course with high performance laptops, as with other higher performance engineered machines, cars and such like, there is heat and a need for increased fan performance to ensure cooling is optimised......

Reviews will be coming very soon,,,, stay tuned

Hi,

I'm new here. I have a few questions for team AORUS @Atom80:

Why don't you keep enabled the Intel GPU on your laptops and increase the battery life in the same time? I'm sure that will be amazing for everyone, considering is a laptop. Most manufacturers keep them both enabled.

Control Center ... I'm sure you've heard this question 1000 times already... but, why don't you make Fan Control with more options? My laptop's fans run non stop and when is night and I want to use it, I can't because my wife is sleeping, baby sleeping and when I'm using it without headphones I can hear them all the time. It drives me crazy. From 15 - 20 % CPU usage the fans kick in for simple browsing, having a document open or even Paint... even ad Idle you can hear them. Most manufacturers have multiple profiles, from Quiet, Normal, Performance or other. Most of them, on quiet profile, don't have the fan spinning at all for simple tasks, but Aorus no no no, you have only Normal and Turbo... I know is a gaming machine, but I'm sure it should be used also in normal conditions as most of the people prefer a portable solution, like gaming and work laptop with decent battery life.

Do you charge shipping for RMA's in the same Country? MSI doesn't, DELL doesn't, maybe other manufacturers.

I'll be keeping my Aorus laptop for another month, if no update, then I'll move to any other manufacturer which listens to its customers.

Thank you!

Hi @Hakuna M,

In reply to your first point, the new AORUS17X does enable users to switch between Intel and NVIDIA GPU's;



With Regards to Control Centre and fan controls, please confirm what model it is you have, and also Serial Number, Control Centre version installed, and screen shot of the Driver versions you have installed - we will communicate with HQ to ensure everything is as it should be, or if any improvements are available via Smart Updates.

Do you charge shipping for RMA's in the same Country? Our 2 year warranty is Global, and if you are in the country you purchased the unit (ie UK to UK service centre) Courier Collect and Return is covered by the warranty and no cost to you.

Let us know on the above points regarding Control Centre, and we will endeavour to support you,

Best Regards,

Team AORUS

Hi @Atom80,

Nice to hear the new ones have both options. Is there any way to have them enabled in the older versions? I have the Aorus 15 SA and have the same issue with the fans, please see pictures below for software versions:

https://ibb.co/Nj6Qrz2
https://ibb.co/ggwdgQc
https://ibb.co/2Zjg9Mq

Control Center is showing that I have a newer software version installed and an old one is needed, not a big deal. Everything works as it should, but fans are running al the time and I have set everything to save power like CPU is on ECO, Power Plan is on Power Saving. Is there any way to not have them running all the time?

Thank you!

Very much looking forward to some reviews. My gt73vr is getting a little long in the tooth

Hi @Atom80 and thank you for replying.

Does this mean that you don't care about your old customers? I'm sure this can be enabled in BIOS with an update.

With Regards to Control Centre and fan controls, please confirm what model it is you have, and also Serial Number, Control Centre version installed, and screen shot of the Driver versions you have installed - we will communicate with HQ to ensure everything is as it should be, or if any improvements are available via Smart Updates.

Aorus 15 XA, don't have the serial number as I don't like stickers on my toys. Control Centre version 20.04.30.01

Do you charge shipping for RMA's in the same Country? Our 2 year warranty is Global, and if you are in the country you purchased the unit (ie UK to UK service centre) Courier Collect and Return is covered by the warranty and no cost to you.

That sounds great, but if nothing is solved with the fans, for me is goodbye Aorus.

Totally agree. Pity the Aorus 7 doesnt come with a decent GPU, looks nice and less tacky than the other two model ranges.
@Atom80 Can you tell me what is the TDP of the RTX 2060 in the Aurus 17 G please? Im torn between this and the Aorus 7 RTX 2060 (90w TDP i believe?)

First review now live @ T3

They look like nice laptops, but looking at the specs and that review, it seems like there is very little value for money to be found, rather expensive and overpriced, also using older version graphics, aka non super, at prices STARTING over 2k lol?. Not impressed.

I’m a direct salesman, I’m used to selling in people’s homes doing deals for thousands £££ daily, with plenty disposable income and I would not purchase at those prices, nor see how to spin it to others to buy them, sure they are nice, but they are a hard pass until cheaper or on a heavy sale discount. And I say this as someone with money sitting waiting, as I’m currently in the market for a new desktop replacement to game on.

Just my opinion as a OCUK customer.

They are 10th gen intel cpu with a rtx2080 super.
Very well spec for a high end gaming laptop. My only issue with this is how loud it will be. Which puts me off. Even with older models every review said they are loud. This is no different which is disappointing

Nope, the top spec 17x Flagship entry model, ships with a RTX 2070, NOT even a Super variant... and its £2.3k.....

2.3k for a Laptop, and its not even got top spec CPU in it, and its got a GPU that is multiple steps down from the top dog. Its just poor value, you are paying for branding and "bling bling snake oil"....

Just an edit to show the poor value, the newly amped up RTX 2060 115W version, that should be the default going into the rest of 2020 now for 2060 gpu's in laptops in general, is performing above the RTX 2070 in a lot of benchmarks.....

This is a gpu now available in £1k machines....

Kinda makes it look POOR value, doesn't it

I'm liking the style of the 15G, anyone got one yet?
