To compliment the already launched 17" AORUS X7 and 13.9" AORUS X3 , we now bring you a stunning 15.6" version - AORUS X5
Equipped with SLI GTX965, nVdia G-Sync and much much more...

Looks awesome! Any more info/specs available? Price for example?
Looks nice but I'm surprised they've gone for sli based on the old gm204 cores, rather than dual 970s. I'd worry about the heat. Very odd given aorus' market is high spec gaming laptops, at a premium.
Thanks for the quick response atom and understood. What are the physical dimensions/weight? Any tentative release date (even month)? I own the x3 and I've enjoyed it, good bit of kit.
I love the comparison in your second post albeit it's missing 980m SLI)
HI thepharcyde,
The comparison is giving a fair account of SLI GPUs against the highest performing single mobile GPU on the market, for sure an SLI GTX980m is going to perform far quicker than either of the SLI GPUs that we currently offer within the AORUS Chassis.
However, the price is also considerably more.
We offer configurations at prices that compare and compete with single GTX980m units, but with superior performance. As the graph shows.
We are not comparing "apples and bananas" (not that you have said that, we are just using the term) or trying to mislead end users, simply giving a benchmark that people can understand, appreciate and help make informed decision on purchasing.
Additionally the only SLI GTX980M "laptops" that are available, barely fall into the "mobile" category... AORUS as a brand is focussed on developing performance, mobility, quality and style, at a value for money price point for the end user.
Thanks for the feedback and hope that clarifies.

Falcon Northwest TLX is essentially your equivalent in price and size albeit has 980m SLI
Question for the gigabyte rep(s):
If I purchase an aorus laptop in the US, is the warranty still valid in the UK? Same pickup/return service in the UK, even if I buy it in the US?
Thanks!
I am very tempted to get one of these laptops but i am in limbo as to get the x5 or the x7..... do you have any idea in terms of performance how much different they will be. the x5 is 3k res so im worried that you wont be able to play some games in high settings as you will take a large fps drop.
Or am i speaking rubbishshould the 965m in SLI cope at 3k? i really like the idea of a 3k screen but im not sure how it will perform. 970m sli at 1080p i reckon will run like a dream.
