i herd that they were going to be making a bunch of changes to the new series of there laptops, is this true? 

[CwGoh]

Make a 14" 1080p version and I'll go on board. But it is a really nice laptop, bringing portability to 17" laptops.

Damn...Nvidia why didn't you put G-Sync into laptop monitors . Dual graphics card why not just a 780m O_o. I think I'm rooting for the MSI GS70 Stealth 17-in Haswell Gaming Thin and Light Notebook. Good airflow and ventilation kinda wished my laptop could have one. Can I play Crysis.....2

Hmmmmm I need a new laptop for uni (old one is dying, RIP: ASUS UX21E 2011~2013) and I was entertaining the idea of getting a "gaming laptop" so I can do some gaming and random shenanigans when bored

[Gleb]

what the CPU and GPU temperatures while crysis 3 or battlefield 4 gaming and also while CPU + GPU Stress Test ? Can cooling system handle 100% Full load without throttling ?

im pretty sure the g-sync chip would be bigger than the screen. and two 780m would be more heat and overkill for 1080p

Looks good.

 

Let's just hope it doesn't costs an arm and a leg.

Wow very nice , sli graphics in a very slim form factor.i wonder how the price will be. A although I would like to see more 15 and 14 inch laptops with this slimness

I'm not a huge fan of "gaming" laptops, but this one looks nice

I still got beef with gigabyte for that shitty GTX 660 Ti and the inability of their customer service to handle the repair of its crappy cooler but I gotta admit - that thing seems to be pretty sophisticated. I would have liked to have more details, though, like how are screen colors and I think Crysis 1 isn't a good representation anymore - it's over 6 years old by now. Crysis 3 would have been more fitting.

I guess overall the unboxings don't do it for me anymore - but the community has spoken and it's not that I'll stop watching but it definately gets kinda old for me.

TN panel?  VA panel?  IPS panel? I may have missed it in the video but, i'd kinda like to know :\

[2dfx]

Offer this to me in a barebones configuration, and I'm sold.

[DanKepke]

If it one day comes with a single GTX880M, i will sell my P370EM with a GTX680M SLI.

This is what I was thinking as well.. From what I've seen, a single 780M performs somewhat similarly to two 765Ms in SLI.. It seems more efficient to cool two (GPU+CPU) heatsources instead of three(GPU1+GPU2+CPU).. Also, G-sync in laptops would be great, because the lower power GPUs will be running at lower framerates..

The G-sync module is the same size as a single MXM GPU, which is the standard form factor in laptops with discrete GPUs. It should be possible to plant the module into a laptop mobo, instead of one of those GPUs.. Also, I think he was referring to a single 780M, not two, for the reason I stated above.

I really liked the razer blade 14 inch one. I want 1080p IPS on that thing.

[applebook]

Even though I'm with most people here who are fundamentally opposed to "gaming" laptops, I have to admit that this looks sexy. 

 

That panel had better not be TN though, unless it's a really, really good TN panel with 500:1 plus contrast, solid viewing angles, and 100% SRGB color gamut.

$2,100 base $2,800 fully loaded.

Linus video from CES he says it is a non-TN panel... at about 5:10 in...

I don't know much about display technologies so I don't know what it could be if not a TN. IPS maybe?

[geogga]

exactly^, was about to correct them but you pointed that vid out.

so it may be IPS or VA 

I hope its IPS

[Ultimate_PIMP]

Gawd the matte finish off this laptop is jaw dropping

[ViruZ_HUN]

when do u and Slick even Sleep, Linus?

[ygohome]

In a different video (from a different youtube channel "Custom PC Review") the Aorus marketing rep, Hanif, describes the display as being a TN panel.  Hanif... he did not sound "super knowledgeable".  So there may still be hope.

 

 

whatever it has, good things are on the way.  I'll be needing a new mobile workstation soon and a slim powerful gaming rig might end up fitting the bill.

[applebook]

A higher end TN panel on a laptop can still be pretty decent, particularly for gaming. Besides, with such a powerful SLI setup, you will be able to run this at 1440p on your external monitor.

[MrTechNZ]

Where abouts can I get me one of these puppies? or are they not available yet.

I need a new laptop mine burns my lap even on whilst idling. And what will one cost?
