COMPUTEX 2017 | Aorus X5 MD joins the Max-Q bandwagon with GTX 1080 graphics

AORUS Introduces The Most Powerful 15” To Date

AORUS, leader in high-end gaming laptops, is proud to announce a new version of its 15.6”

X5. Pushing the boundaries even further, AORUS has extended the X5 series with the X5 MD,

which incorporates the state of the art NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 GDDR5X 8GB GPU.

Packed with plenty of new features, such as overclockable 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7

processor, Thunderbolt 3, ESS SABRE 32-bit Hi-Fi audio DAC specially-designed cooling

vents, the X5 MD also utilizes the new Max-Q design, NVIDIA’s innovative approach to

design the world’s thinnest, fastest, and quietest gaming laptops. Max-Q, an integral part of

NASA’s mission to launch man into space, is defined as the point at which the aerodynamic

stress on a rocket in atmospheric flight is maximized. Thus, the design of the rocket is

precision-engineered around Max-Q. NVIDIA has applied a similar philosophy to designing

gaming laptops, enabling AORUS to build laptops that are thinner with more GPU

performance of previous generation products.

“The NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 was already fast, then the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX

1080 designed with Max-Q came along to satisfy gamers’ demand for even more

performance,” commented Patrick Lai, Product Marketing at AORUS. “The X5 MD with GTX

1080 is an absolute beast. Gamers will love it!”

Step Up the Gaming Performance

The unmatched performance is what makes the

X5 MD the most powerful 15” gaming laptop.

This is the first Max-Q designed laptop from

AORUS and is equipped with the NVIDIA®

GeForce® GTX 1080 GPU. Furthermore, AORUS

has paired the powerful GPU with the latest

overclockable Intel® Core™ i7-7820HK CPUs

running at up to an 15% increase when

compared to the 7700HQ, the X5 MD has

outperformed any 15” laptops. All this power is fitted within the 22.9mm thin chassis

through extensive engineering, allowing the X5 MD to provide the best gaming experience.

ESS Sabre Audio DAC – A 32-bit, 8-channel Hi-Fi Sound Experience

Few things are as important to gaming and movies

as high-quality, crystal clear sound. Striving to offer

the finest sound possible, AORUS has utilized the top

of the line ES9018 DAC from ESS, built on its 32-bit

Hyperstream architecture. Capable of output to 8

channels, it also boasts a Digital Noise Ratio of up to

135dB and a Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise

(THD+N) figure of -120dB.

Thunderbolt™ 3, mDP 1.3, Multi-Surround Displays

AORUS’ commitment to versatility is evident in the utilization of the Thunderbolt 3

connector in the X5 MD Thunderbolt 3 truly is the USB Type-C connector that does it all –

connect to external graphics cards, connect external 4K display, or even charge your

external devices with the 3A/5V output. Added with the upgraded mini DP 1.3 port and the

existing HDMI 2.0, Multitasking and surround gaming are made possible.

X-Rite™ Pantone® Calibrated Screen Panels

Further emphasizing the versatility of the AORUS X5 MD laptop is the introduction of fully

calibrated screen panels, courtesy of revered color system player X-Rite™ Pantone®. With

each X5 MD laptop, you can rest assured that your system’s color reproduction will be

second to none, whether you’re enjoying it professionally or casually.
