The AORUS X3 Plus - this thing is an absolute monster in a tiny package. But does it run into the same thermal throttling issues we experienced on the BRIX Gaming?

Screen wasn't DOA? What is this...?

Why would it be..? What's your experience.

[XTankSlayerX]

As a person who has a Razer headset with a 4 pole connector.

 

I don't know what to feel *Sobs*

 

This looks like a really good laptop, I might just  pick this up if I need one this powerful.

Almost all the ones I've seen have issues with the screen.

cramming that many pixels in such a small screen does not make much sense to me.

text scaling at higher resolution sucks so it will be small and illegible without a massive headache of work to get it to acceptable levels.

looks small

Same reason I don't care for 4K. What's the point of more pixels if I can't use them for anything.

Looks killer in terms of form factor for a gaming laptop. Linus is right on the no touch though. Once you get used to it on windows 8 on a laptop, you miss it when its gone. When he was typing, the amount that the screen moves sure bothers me. I'd probably be bothered with my screen wiggling back and forth like that. Lol the fan noise reminds me of my old Thinkpad that I still use every so now and then. Funny thing is when you're really into doing something, you don't notice it as much as you thought you would.

Aw that sucks

By the power of Nick this looks good!

Still won't get one, but it looks quite nice.

How much is it?

I suspect though that the people who don't have problems don't flash around their laptops around the internet going "Look how great this is", you always seem to hear the horror stories

 

I'm in agreeance with the screen size, it really doesn't seem to make sense on something of that size. 1080p would be fine, 1440p if you really wanted to show off but honestly, it's a laptop with a 14 inch screen, so again, 1080p would be fine

i want it

That is a pretty tacky notebook. It's a laptop; not a Lamborghini. And that bottom bezel is HUGE!

That is not tacky. This is tacky... And a Lamborghini.

Why can't windows just adopt 1 click left 2 click right. It makes more sense, don't have to have your fingers on the respective places all the time.

 

The laptop too, is not really a looker. It looks deformed. Whatever happened to elegance in design Look at the blade, sexy thing.

Wh Wh Wh What????

Why don't laptop makers make their laptops a bit thicker. It will help a ton with thermals, and I would sure as hell trade a hot loud thin laptop for a thicker quiet one.
