Reviews for the Aorus 17X AZG
Source: PC World
The Gigabyte Aorus 17X is a great gaming laptop with excellent performance. This is top-of-the-line internal hardware in a chassis with great build quality and a surprisingly sleep design. Of course, this 17-inch, just-over-six-pounds gaming laptop doesn’t perform quite as well as an 18-inch gaming laptop that’s over nine pounds in weight. But both of those laptops won’t perform as well as a high-end desktop PC, either. Portability is a spectrum. The display gives me the most pause here. This laptop costs about $3,700 at full retail price, and the screen only offers about 300 to 400 nits of brightness. Many people will prefer a brighter screen. In fact, many people may prefer the more vivid picture on an OLED screen if they’re looking to spend nearly $4,000 on a laptop.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.8 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
