The Gigabyte Aorus 17 (2022) is a fantastic gaming laptop that can handle nearly anything you throw at it at 1080p – whether that's gaming or creative workloads. Just don't expect to carry it around without some effort. On the positive side of the ledger, the Auros 17 packs powerful specs, including a new Alder Lake chip and RTX mobile GPUs along with fast memory, lots of storage, and the largest battery legally allowed in the United States. This means it gets some impressive battery life as far as an Intel Alder Lake gaming laptop with these specs is concerned. There are more powerful pieces of kit out there, but the Aorus 17 is definitely one of the best gaming laptops for the price and easily makes our list of best 17-inch laptops on the market.

The GIGABYTE AORUS 17 XE4 is a great gaming laptop but whether it works for you is dependent on your needs for one, especially given its price tag of RM15,999. If you’re a more competitive gamer, you will benefit from high performance and the 360Hz refresh rate. For the more casual folk, you might be better off with a smaller, more energy-efficient one with a higher resolution display.

It is unfortunate that the Gigabyte AERO notebook series have seem to lost its charm, as it’s not exactly any much different from the AORUS series now. Regardless, content creators and designers will certainly still appreciate the features on the AERO 5 XE4, which are fundamental to their work. This largely revolved around the notebook’s display, which is colour calibrated and validated, high resolution (4K) and with great AMOLED colour representation. Now that the AERO 5 XE4 has improved its performance with the latest CPU and GPU, the professionals can also appreciate the improved productivity from the notebook. Since there are a limited number of products in the market that is catered specifically for designers and content creators, the AERO 5 XE4 is certainly still a notebook to consider.

The Aorus 17 is an interesting laptop, built thin and light, but with a full list of specifications that are truly top-level. There are several available configurations on the way, including one with an i9-12900HK and 3080 Ti for the US market. Pricing is unknown as of yet. That lack of information poses a problem when it comes time to evaluate this product. That's not that high of a frequency, but the performance is more than adequate in games for sure. The raw compute power of these cores at low speed shouldn't be overlooked. Of note is also that the 45 W limitation means those cores are running cool at full CPU load, which has the laptop itself run quiet; perfect for getting some rendering or photo editing done without it being distracting. I have to take a moment to talk about the Microsoft Azure AI functionality, or lack thereof. Theoretically, we should see performance boosts in the right ways for different applications, as the system should be intelligent enough to adjust things like power limits or processor speed to match the demands of the task at hand.

The Aorus 17 XE is a straightforward offering in just about every facet—what you see is what you get. The build is big and simple, but it's visually sleek and not excessively heavy. The performance is great, as you'd expect from the component array; there are no real surprises or overachieving moments, though the 12th Gen processor is given room to fly with the fans at full speed. It's hardly the flashiest way to spend over $2,000 on a laptop, nor is it travel-friendly, but the Aorus largely delivers on its promises. The Lenovo Legion 7 and Alienware x17 just edge past it on the basis of performance and design in this competitive field.
