COMING SOON - AERO 14 - Performance Ultrabook

[Ryu_86]

How big is it? I'm looking at this to replace my ageing late 2013 mbpr and want the same size and weight!

Hi Skaif,

As far as weight goes, you're looking at ~1.89kg (w/Battery).

and here are the dimensions:

335(W) x 250(D) x 19.9(H) mm

Let us know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Had mine a couple of days, great service from OC as usual.

Got to say so far it ticks all the boxes, not had a chance to put it through its paces yet but it is a mightly impressive machine, and the battery life does seem not far off of the claims. Not too heavy and very solid build, good screen and surprisingly the fans are much quieter than i thought they may be. Best bit is i can get it out in a meeting and nobody is going to notice the beast, could never do it with a traditional gaming ultrabook.

Hi ipcress,

Great feedback, thanks for letting us know.....

Always nice to whip out the beast in a meeting,,, especially cool if no-one notices

One thing i will say is the power brick takes a little adjustment after a couple of Surface Pro's in a row. Its a decent size and weight as in you will know you are carrying it around not the kind of thing to slip in a pocket. I normally leave one in the house and one in the office, any idea where i can get a spare Atom?

It's super annoying that retailers do not show an image of the power brick in their product photos. It's a laptop, some users might want to use it as such and take their full charging setup with them.

Hi Five_Star,

If it had thunderbolt 3.0 and touch screen it would be perfect

You're welcome Five_Star

Our design team work hard to add some nice product features and touches that make a difference to the end user experience. (such as this, and hot swap optical drive on P35 and P37 products as another example)

Having a presence in OcUK forums also helps us talk directly to our customers, and potential customers and views from here are fed back directly to the mothership !

We do care, a lot.

Thanks for the feedback,

Hi DanF,

We have asked technical team at HQ and unfortunately this O/S has not been tested and isn't supported. No driver testing has taken place.

Sorry,

Hi Dariel,

We expect the 512GB version to land with OcUK in the next week or so.

With regards to upgrading and adding more SSD, this is fine with Gigabyte products and doesn't void the warranty.

Both products have 2 x M.2 PCIe bays, so can accept and additional one, or replace and add two.

In all cases, care must be taken as "Customer Induced Damage" isn't covered by warranty, but simply opening machine and upgrading components of your choice doesn't void it.

Hope that helps.

Gigabyte UK NB Team

Hey Atom any update on this? Still haven't seen the 512gb model in stock.

Hey Atom any update on this? Still haven't seen the 512gb model in stock.

Stock shipping this week, so we expect it to be live on OCUK site by Monday next week at the latest. The lower spec sku ( LT-079-GI) will be removed from site as we don't have any more coming into OcUK.

Suggest placing pre-order as stock is very limited.

Thanks,

Thanks for your help Atom, second power adapter ordered and on its way.

Quick question for you, i got the 256 gb version as i needed to order and the 500's seemed elusive. I want to put a second drive in to bring it up to spec, is there one you guys recommend that i can get from OC?

Hi ipcress,

The SSDs used in the AORUS X3 are:

Samsung PCIe NVMe PM951 512GB or SM951....

We think the model numbers are similar for the 256GB version...

So this looks to be the one:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...state-drive-mzhpv256hdgl-00000-hd-207-sa.html


You can open your machine to check the detail on the installed SSD and see if it matches that link.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Hey guys,
is it possible to get the Aero 14 with swiss keyboard layout?

If not, what layout does the keyboard have?

Hi shiek,

The AERO14 at OcUK has UK keyboard layout,

"qwerty", layout

I spoke to French colleague to see if French keyboard was same as Swiss, but apparently not.

I am sure UK layout would be OK for you

Are you living in UK or actually in Switzerland?
