MagyarAorus 15X ASF review: Gaming laptop with RTX 4070 power and stamina
The Aorus 15X - a midrange gaming laptop - is powered by a Raptor Lake Core i7 and an RTX 4070 GPU. The total package retails for around $2,099. Its competitors include devices such as the Razer Blade 15 OLED (Early 2022), the Asus ROG Strix G17 G713PI, the MSI Katana 17 B13VFK and the Acer Predator Helios 300.

Case - Gigabyte utilize a mix of materials
Only the back of the lid is made out of matte black metal - the base unit is made out of plastic. Gigabyte didn't add any fancy visual embellishments apart from the pattern which is etched into the smooth case surface. An LED strip (RGB, customizable) at the back of the base unit and the illuminated keys (RGB) add a pop of color to the device.
The case is put together flawlessly - there are no material excesses and the gap dimensions are all correct. The base unit can only be slightly twisted, the lid more so. But this all remains within a normal range. The battery (screwed in - not glued) and the rest of the laptop's innards can be accessed when the bottom shell is removed. The hinges hold the lid firmly in place and the maximum opening angle is around 130 degrees. It is possible to open the lid with one hand.
The 15X can be placed pretty much in the middle range of all the 15.6 inch laptops: It is neither compact, nor is it particularly massive. The same thing can be said for its weight.
Connectivity - the Aorus computer features Thunderbolt 4
The 15X has two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and one USB-C port (Thunderbolt 4). The latter supports Power Delivery and can output a DisplayPort signal. This, along with the HDMI port (2.1) and the dedicated Mini DisplayPort (1.4), makes for three video outputs. The computer doesn't feature an SD card reader.
The two dedicated video outputs, as well as the ethernet port, can be found on the back of the device. This means that the cables will not get in your way when you are using the laptop.
Communication
Under optimum conditions (no additional WLAN devices in the vicinity, small distance between laptop and server PC), the laptop's WLAN transfer rates are good, however, they remain slightly below average considering what is possible with this Wi-Fi chip (Intel AX211; Wi-Fi 6E). Wired network connection is made possible through a Gigabit Ethernet chip (RTL8125; 2.5 Gbit) by Realtek.

Webcam
The device's webcam (2.1 MP, max. 1,920 x 1,080 pixels) doesn't have a cover, however, its quality is pretty standard. It struggles a little with color accuracy: Its color deviation of 11 means this falls within an unacceptable range (desirable: DeltaE less than 3).
Accessories
Next to the usual documents (quick start guide and warranty information), the laptop doesn't come with any additional accessories.
Maintenance
After all the screws are removed from the bottom of the device, the bottom shell can be removed with the help of a flat spatula or palette knife. Subsequently, the RAM slots (both in use), SSD (PCIe 4), second M.2 2280 slot (PCIe 4), BIOS battery, WLAN module, fans, speakers and the battery can be accessed.
Warranty
The 15.6-inch Gigabyte laptop comes with a two year warranty. Warranty extensions are not available.
Input devices - a gaming laptop with individually-lit keys
Keyboard
The Chiclet keyboard's smooth keys have a medium-level lift and a clear pressure point. Each key is lit individually (three brightness levels). Negative: The keys' secondary functions don't catch any of the light, which means they are barely legible. While you are typing, the keys only have a tiny amount of give - but this shouldn't be too annoying. All-in-all, Gigabyte have provided this device with a good everyday keyboard.
Touchpad
A multi-touch click pad (roughly 12.1 x 7.6 cm) replaces a mouse on this computer - its smooth surface makes for easy use. The corners react to inputs, have a slight give and have a clear pressure point.
Display - 240 Hz QHD panel
Gigabyte's 15X is equipped with a fast-reacting 16:9 format 240 Hz panel, which doesn't suffer from a PWM flicker at any brightness level. Brightness and contrast levels on the matte 15.6-inch display (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) fall within an acceptable range (> 300 cd/m² and 1,000:1).
Compared to its competitors, the Blade 15 excels thanks to its OLED panel.

* ... smaller is better
Straight out of the box, the display already shows great color reproduction: With a deviation of 1.54, it falls within an acceptable range (DeltaE < 3). Calibration brings the number down to 1.21 and helps more evenly display gray tones.
The display can depict nearly the entire sRGB color space - but not the AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. This means most competitors do a bit of a better job with this.

Performance
The Aorus 15X is classed as a powerful gaming laptop - but it is not limited to just this area. Its good performance is made possible by Raptor Lake and Ada Lovelace. The presented test device can be purchased for around $2,099.
Testing conditions
The computer's control center (Gigabyte Control Center) has all the usual performance modes (see table) and a superior AI boost function, which we used. This meant that the control center chose the best-fitting profile - "gaming mode" and "creator mode" for the benchmarks and "energy-saving idle mode" for the battery tests.
"Turbo mode" can in certain cases provide slightly improved performance - but this comes at a price: The fans are constantly working at full power. You can achieve the quietest working levels - close to completely silent - using "meeting mode". Here, the single-thread performance, which is more important for everyday use, shrinks to a lesser extent than the multi-thread performance. Even gaming would be possible at reduced settings.
| Creator mode | Turbo mode | Gaming mode | Meeting mode | Energy saving idle mode | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power limit 1 | 70 watts | 70 watts | 55 watts | 15 watts | 15 watts |
| Power limit 2 | 157 watts | 157 watts | 157 watts | 30 watts | 30 watts |
Processor
Its Core-i7-13700HX processor (Raptor Lake) consists of 8 efficiency cores (no hyper threading, 1.5 to 3.7 GHz) and 8 performance cores (hyper threading, 2.1 to 5 GHz). In total, this adds up to 24 logistical CPU cores. The benchmarks provide results on par with the CPU's determined average.
The CPU tests of the Cinebench R15 benchmark were run with high (multi-thread) or high to maximum (single-thread) clock rates while connected to the mains. Using the battery, these rates dropped - significantly more under single-thread load than multi-thread load.
The CB15 loop test showed: The CPU turbo was utilized and continuous multi-thread load caused the clock rates to drop slightly from the first to the third run.

System performance
The spec sheet already reveals: 15X users don't have to worry about a lack of performance. The smoothly running system is well prepared for demanding tasks such as rendering or gaming - the good PCMark results confirm this. The RAM transfer rates don't show anything unusual and are on a normal level for DDR5-4800 RAM.

DPC latency
The standardized latency monitor test (web surfing, 4k video playback, Prime95 high-load) revealed a few abnormalities. This system doesn't seem to be suitable for real-time video and audio editing. Future software updates could bring some improvements - but they could possibly also worsen this issue.

Storage devices
The 15X has space for two PCIe-4 SSDs in M.2-2280 format - however, only one is included with the laptop. The installed PCIe-4 model (1 TB) from Gigabyte delivers very good transfer rates. However: In the later course of the DiskSpd loop, occasional performance drops could be observed - probably due to thermal throttling.
