MagyarGigabyte AORUS 17X: 17.3-inch gaming laptop announced with Intel Core i9-12900HX and RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 Ti combinations
Gigabyte has unveiled the new AORUS 17X, less than a month after its Taiwanese website listed the YE variant. As it turns out, Gigabyte has prepared two variants, the aforementioned YE and the AORUS 17X XE. Fundamentally, the pair are the same laptop, with only a GPU separating the pair. Unsurprisingly, the AORUS 17X XE is the less specification, with the RTX 3070 Ti instead of the RTX 3080 Ti in the AORUS 17X YE.
As expected, this year's AORUS 17X also relies on the Core i9-12900HX, now second in Intel's product stack behind the Core i9-12950HX. Still, the Core i9-12900HX offers a 5 GHz boost clock on its 8 P-cores and a 3.6 GHz boost clock on its remaining 9 E-cores. Moreover, Gigabyte equips both new AORUS 17X configurations with a 17.3-inch IPS-level display that outputs at 1080p, 360 Hz and with 72% NTSC colour space coverage.
Furthermore, the AORUS 17X has two SO-DIMM slots for up to 64 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, plus dual M.2 2280 slots for PCIe Gen4 storage. Incidentally, Gigabyte includes a 99 Wh battery that the AORUS 17X can recharge at 280 W, along with twin 2.5 W speakers and the following ports:
- Left side:
- 1x RJ45
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- 1x Mini DP 1.4
- 1x USB 3.2 (Type-A)
- Right Side:
- 1x DC-in
- 1x Thunderbolt 4 (Type-C )
- 1x USB 3.2 (Type-A)
- 1x Audio combo jack
For some reason, Gigabyte has not announced AORUS 17X XE or AORUS 17X YE pricing yet. Presumably, the pair will exceed US$2,000 though, given their combinations of a Core i9 part and powerful NVIDIA GPUs.
