Aorus 15G XB in review: Successful gaming machine with mechanical keyboard

It clicked. The Aorus 15G XB brings all modern computer games smoothly onto the matte 15.6-inch screen (240 Hz, Full HD, IGZO). The rest of the equipment is also right: NVMe SSD, 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), a mechanical keyboard, and a Thunderbolt 3 port.

Comet Lake Gaming Geforce Laptop Thunderbolt Windows

The Aorus 15G XB is a light, compact gaming laptop in the 15.6-inch format that is equipped with a lot of computing power. The test device provided to us is powered by a Core i7-10875H processor and a GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q graphics core. The laptop stands out from the crowd of gaming laptops because it has a mechanical keyboard on board. Competitors include devices like the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G532LWS, the Alienware m15 R3, the Acer Predator Triton 500 PT515-52, the Razer Blade 15, and the Schenker XMG Neo 15.

Case - Aorus with a fancy metal case

The computer's powerful hardware is housed in a silver-gray metal case that left a high-quality impression both visually and haptically. In combination with the very slim display bezels, this results in a device that is overall quite attractive. The palm rest and the back of the lid have smooth surfaces. Moreover, the illuminated Aorus logo places emphasis on the lid's back. The laptop doesn't have a maintenance hatch, and the battery is firmly installed.

The laptop shows good workmanship. No excess material is noticeable, and the gap dimensions are in order too. Stability is also right since the base unit can only be twisted slightly. This can be done to a somewhat larger extent when it comes to the lid, but overall, everything remains completely within the limits. Furthermore, exerting pressure on the back of the lid doesn't lead to image distortions. The hinges hold the lid firmly in position, but they wobble a bit. In addition, opening the lid with one hand is possible. The maximum aperture angle is about 135°.

The Aorus 15 is a slim and light gaming laptop. In terms of weight, it's on par with the devices in our comparison field. The fact that it's a bit thicker than some competitors is due to the mechanical keyboard.

Connectivity - Thunderbolt 3 on board

The gaming laptop features a well-rounded port configuration. All three USB Type-A ports work according to the 3.2 Gen 1 standard. There are also two video outputs (HDMI 2.0, Mini DisplayPort 1.4), a combo audio connection, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Good: A Thunderbolt 3 port is also available. As a result, it would be possible to use extensive docking solutions or to connect an external GPU that offers more power.

SD card reader

SD cards don't fit completely into the built-in memory card reader; they protrude a good 15 mm. Moreover, the model used here is one of the faster representatives of its kind. When copying large data blocks, a maximum transfer speed of 248 MB/s is achieved. The transfer of 250 jpg image files (about 5 MB each) is completed at a speed of 210 MB/s. We test memory card readers using a reference card (the 64 GB Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC UHS-II).

Communication

The Killer WLAN module has a chip from Intel that supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax WLAN standards. The transmission speeds determined under optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices nearby, short distance between laptop and server PC) are excellent. In addition, the Killer E2600 Gigabit Ethernet controller handles wired network connections, and it does its job smoothly.

Webcam

The webcam (0.9 MP) isn't located in the display bezel, but it's in the base unit instead - above the keyboard. It produces slightly blurry images in a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Moreover, there are issues with color accuracy, and the target (Delta E less than 3) is missed with a Delta E 2000 deviation of just under 12.

Accessories

The laptop comes with the usual documents: A quick-start guide and warranty information. In addition, a thermal pad for a second M.2 SSD is found in the box.

Maintenance

The laptop doesn't have a maintenance hatch. In order to get to the inside, the bottom cover must be lifted. After removing all the screws on the underside of the device, the bottom cover can be detached with the aid of a grout finishing tool or a similar auxiliary tool. The cover isn't placed in an excessively tight way.

Warranty

Gigabyte honors the laptop with a two-year warranty. We couldn't find any warranty extensions.

Input devices - The Aorus laptop comes with a mechanical keyboard

Keyboard

The Aorus 15 has a mechanical keyboard (including RGB lighting) from Omron on board that has keys with a concave shape. They offer a comfortable travel and have a clearly audible and perceptible pressure point. In addition, the keyboard doesn't give way when typing. All in all, Gigabyte delivers a consistent and successful keyboard here.

Touchpad

The multi-touch capable ClickPad takes up an area of approximately 10.6 x 7.1 cm. As a result, a lot of space is available for using gesture controls. The smooth surface of the pad makes it easy for the fingers to glide on it. Furthermore, the pad also reacts to input in the corners. An exception is the upper left corner since this area contains a fingerprint scanner.

Display - 240 Hz IGZO

The matte 15.6-inch display has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The contrast (880:1) and brightness (248 cd/m²) are too low. A laptop in this price range should offer more. We consider values beyond 1000:1 and 300 cd/m², respectively, to be good. Moreover, the 240 Hz panel's response times are alright.

Unfortunately, the screen flickers at a frequency of 23,580 Hz at brightness levels of 24% and below. Due to the high frequency, even sensitive users shouldn't be troubled by headaches and/or eye problems.

The display features an X-Rite Pantone certification that ensures a very natural color reproduction. Out of the box, the display already meets the target (Delta E less than 3) with a Delta E 2000 color deviation of 1.21. In addition, it doesn't suffer from a blue tint. Improvements can still be achieved by means of calibration. For example, the color deviation drops to 0.92, and the grayscales are displayed in a more balanced way. The AdobeRGB (68%) and sRGB (90%) color spaces aren't fully mapped.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
11.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6.8 ms rise

The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 14 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (24.3 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 13 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (38.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 23580 Hz ≤ 24 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 23580 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 24 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 23580 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 51 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 9686 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 142900) Hz was measured.

Gigabyte equips the Aorus 15 with a viewing-angle-stable IPS panel. Consequently, the screen can be read from any position. The laptop isn't really intended for outdoor use. Reading the display outdoors is only possible when the sun isn't too bright.

Test conditions

The preinstalled Aorus Control Center software offers, among other things, the possibility to set an energy profile. We use the "Auto" option (with enabled AI function) here. The Control Center then selects the appropriate settings itself. We use Windows' own energy profiles only for our runtime tests.

Processor

The built-in Core i7-10875H octa-core processor is from Intel's Comet Lake generation. The CPU runs at a base speed of 2.3 GHz. In addition, the clock rate can be increased to 4.3 GHz (eight cores) or 5.1 GHz (one core) via Turbo. Hyper-Threading (two threads per core) is supported.

The processor works through the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test at 4.2 to 4.3 GHz for a few seconds. The clock rate then drops to 3.4 to 3.6 GHz. The single-thread test is run at 4.5 to 4.9 GHz. Furthermore, the speed is 1.8 GHz for both multithread and single-thread usage on battery power.

We verify if the CPU Turbo is also consistently used when plugged in by running the Cinebench R15 benchmark's multithread test in a continuous loop for at least 30 minutes. The results drop from the first to the third run and then remain at a constant level. Turbo is used to quite a large extent.

Graphics card

Gigabyte equips the Aorus 15 with a GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q graphics core. This DirectX 12 GPU is based on Nvidia's Turing architecture. Nvidia specifies a speed level between 930 MHz (base) and 1,155 MHz (boost) for the GPU.

Higher speeds are feasible if the GPU doesn't reach a specified temperature and/or energy threshold. In this way, we register a maximum of 1,869 MHz. Our The Witcher 3 test is run at an average speed of 1,365 MHz. In addition, the GPU can access fast GDDR6 graphics memory (8,192 MB).

The results in the 3DMark benchmarks are at a normal level for the graphics core. Moreover, the UHD Graphics 630 GPU that's integrated into the processor is active, and the laptop works with Nvidia's Optimus graphics-switching solution.

Gaming performance

The Aorus XB brings all the latest games smoothly onto the screen. Usually, Full HD resolution and maximum quality settings can be selected. In addition, the GPU can also handle resolutions beyond Full HD (an appropriate monitor would have to be connected for this). However, the quality settings should be reduced in that case - especially at 4K level.

In order to verify whether the frame rates remain largely constant even over a prolonged period of time, we let the game The Witcher 3 run for about 60 minutes at Full HD resolution and maximum quality settings. The character embodied by the player is not moved during this whole period. A drop in frame rates wasn't found.
