So many good reviews this year Dominic thank you. ❤
Thanks for the wording of ISO layout i always searched for UK keyboard layout and got mixed results now i know what It's really called
Loved the testing on the panel don’t often get that kind of analysis
Another great review Dominic. Looks like a solid purchase. Not sold on ai functions.
Well done for taking the time to do a proper display test on the screen. Too many reviews miss that and lets face it the laptop screen is one of the most important parts as its impossible to change it to a different or better type after you've parted with the cash.
100%, my thinking exactly!
Yes well done. Those tests are invaluable.
Good testing on the screen. Agree 👌🏻
the intel XTU software is supported on that HX cpu right, maybe we can do a little bit of volt tuning to lower the temp and fan noise
Good display tests Dominic. Appreciate that aspect of your reviews !
Thanks, plenty more in depth monitor reviews coming soon too
Those internals are such a pleasure to behold. You just get so much more flexibility with upgrades than in the Mac way of doing things.
Mac you get what you get which is usually shit and you stuck with it lol. It's crazy people pay so much for the worst specs and no upgradability. Like apple clearly does this on purpose they go along with it. They could buy 1000 dollar windows laptop that would outperform a Mac now a days
Good review Dominic. Good spec for price
the panel looks quite good for that kind of laptop.
Is it possible to control the fan speed manually?
you guys do the best reviews
🫡
great in-depth analysis Dominic. Panel seems the standout feature for me
Thanks - very good laptop screen for sure!
Quite like that colour of the case its a very gunmetal grey.
Lol at doing a webcam meeting face at 2:48
Good looking laptop Dominic. Great review.
thanks!
Hey Dominic, is it possible to add RAM and SSD to this Aorus laptop? I have a Samsung Pro 990 2TB SSD and was wondering if it could be added or not. Thank you in advance.
Thanks Dominic. Great laptop it’s makes my shortlist. Good price.
That screen looks nice.
I ordered this laptop yesterday. I got it with the mindset of "I will have this beast of a laptop for the next 10 years.". Having anything like a laptop like this has been a dream of mine since I was little.
Does your charger enters the port jack all the way? I just received mine and it does not enter all the way like other barrel chargers l. See 0:28 in this video and you will see the charger not all the way in like mine.
Just bought this with the 4070 and 14900HX. CANT WAIT!
thinking ofgetting it. How is your experience so far? Noise,temps and perfomance? Also can you please measure it for me? Dimensions since i want to carry it arround ina backpack
i have a little question. i need to have a windows 10 or 11 pro system, and this laptop only is sold with windows 10/11 home.
can i just delete windows 11 home and load windows 11 pro with a new product key.
do this change anithing to bad.
That is some serious power for a gaming laptop. Could you replicate that with desktop components for the same money?
Could get something faster for slightly less probably, but you'll always pay more for mobile hardware. We did a PCSpecialist prebuilt review recently with a 4070 Super system that was under 1500
Brutal hermano
I’d love a look at a new Alienware gaming laptop Dominic. So many bad reviews of the new models online.
Good price point for the spec. Is it on sale now or did you guys get it early.
We got it early, on sale at curry's in the UK in the next couple weeks we are told!
Are the internal storage drive/s two separate drives?
As in two separate 1TB drives?
Just figuring out if I can use one as a media drive or a drive I can send cache files too or if it’s just treated as one 2TB internal drive
Yeah it's 2x 1TB SSDs - internals are shown at 05:05
@@KitGuruTech Thanks for the speedy reply, greatly appreciated! Fantastic review!
I like the display. That’s really good
Thanks!
Welcome!
The keyboard doesn’t look great. How did you find it for typing Dominic ? Would it be ok for a lot of office style work on top of gaming?
It's fine but nothing special, about typical for a laptop. There's obviously no numpad which I like as it's less cramped, but if I was using this, or any laptop, in an office I'd attach a mechanical keyboard
It’s below average, feels like the Asus vivobook non-pro version.
You guys should review the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case
I'm not sure about that one but we do have the NV9 in the works!
Oh looking forward to that case review
I’m confused is the CPU in this the new Ultra Intel processor range?
It’s the 14900hx, not the ultra 9.
Why are those 7 keys lit up so brightly on one section of the keyboard?
Guessing something to do with gaming?
Yeah just some sort of accent really, they have translucent key caps as opposed to black like the rest of the board, doesn't make much difference in practice!
Right just "looks" then. Shame thought they were doing something clever!
Not a bad looking spec for 2k
So AI Boost is just overclocking depending on the app?
Yes this is overclocking AI tool for newbies 😄
My BF wants me to buy one of these for valentines.
And there you go. Nvidia Optimus was AI based on this before we even called it that. Bit of a stretch indeed 😅
Hey you are right and that never worked right half of the time. I think the gigabyte ai system will likely break over time or accidentally set the wrong profiles. I hate to sound negative but I see this as just another feature that can and will go wrong.
Laptop seems quite good however apart from the ai nonsense.
@@harleylover9446 i hear you, but it is possible to select different profiles without AI enabled - that's just meant to do it on the fly, so as long as you are happy doing that, no need for AI enabled
Ah that’s good. I watched the video too and missed this. Would have been a huge no for me but if you can turn it off that’s fine. Seems just so pointless. I don’t like software controlling my systems too much
Ha. Nvidia Optimus. Used to have to over-ride that all the time
How heavy is this I want a gaming laptop but not one thats really heavy.
Stuck between one of these and an Apple M3 MacBook.
Those two are very different. The Aorus is more affordable but it won’t come close to the MacBook. I. Fact, the plastic edge where your palms rest is slightly sharp and unrefined compared to other laptops. The plastic also feels of lower quality than other laptops such as Lenovo. I really wanted to love this laptop 😢
It’s an Aorus 16 times what?
that’s a really good overall laptop. That ai stuff seems like utter nonsense to me. It’s not even asking for approvals or basing its decisions on what you ask. It’s just profiles.
That flex on the corners of the screen is a bit scary!
It’s not that bad actually. The HP omen transcend and Asus zephyrus is much worse.
What is with everyone pushing the word AI ? 🤨
My sentiments exactly its just such a buzzy term at the moment and really doesn't mean anything. Plus AI has been around for ages in one form or another!
So this whole AI thing just seems overused. Also another way to harvest your data by scraping more info about you than usual.
At least you now have to nonsense terms - AI Turbo :)
Why are the laptop manufacturers doubling down on the 4070 GPU in their 2024 models?
It's the absolute worst 40xx mobile GPU in the range. Way overpriced compared to the 4060 yet still comes with a lousy 8GB of VRAM and more often than not, low power wattages that make them barely any faster than higher wattage 4060 laptops.
🎮
Ai ? On a laptop lol. Sounds more like a gimmick now.
AI gaming laptops can now play by themselves, you don't even need to play the game anymore!
lol I was thinking the same thing 😂
maximum efficiency, minimum fun ;)
Better than the users playing with themselves!
That damn inferior hinge design.. why are laptop companies doing that? 🤮
