waldaize · 31 Jan 2017 at 08:58

Hi,

Anyone know the actual release date of the X5 V7 and/or when overclockers will stock them?

waldaize · 2 Feb 2017 at 11:19

Thanks for the info.....I guess I'll have to wait then.

waldaize · 6 Feb 2017 at 13:11

Heh....I start working away from Wednesday and not looking forward to lonely nights with no gaming to be had...so so having to restrain myself from caving and ordering something else. Hurry yo ass up Aorus!

Has anyone seen any further info on the expected pre-order/release of the v7's?

waldaize · 18 Feb 2017 at 11:43

Thanks for the response Atom80.....killing me tho, i might have to pull the trigger on something else

waldaize · 18 Feb 2017 at 22:39

I'll take the same as Jimbo thanks....

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 11:00

1 more week...same no news.

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 12:01

I've just had a similar conversation at work which resulted in my remark 'a NO is better than NO NEWS'. I can appreciate it's not always if ever easy but if dates are months away rather than a couple of weeks away...then I'll buy something else, probably an v6...so man up Atom80

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 15:34

Probably the X7 V6 CF1 or CF2....not sure which is better..2 different screen types but both 120hz 5ms yeah? Bigger drive on the CF1 ?? Some help please

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 17:34

OK so CF2 I think. FHD and striping issues on the 1440 screen the CF1 has. So Atom80..tempt me

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 18:39

Oh and let's just be clear....the usual OC Haribo ain't gonna cut it....hmm is that a bigger SSD and memory you sat

waldaize · 24 Feb 2017 at 18:45

SSD and B7R bag?.....mmmmmmm maybe

waldaize · 25 Feb 2017 at 12:56

Actually the CF2 isn't a 120hz screen or is it? I'd rather have 120 but that would be the CF1...has the striping issue been resolved?

waldaize · 26 Feb 2017 at 20:45

I'm in the same boat as Jimbo; professional, travelling etc.

Anyhoo since we have your attention Atom80. Shame about the v7 being what i can only assume months away, I'd expect you to be able to give a date if it was within a month or 2...all manufacturing has lead times and if you're not forecasting 6 months at least then someone needs firing

For all my bluster/bravado in previous posts I'm still on the fence about waiting or even looking at different makes/models. Have money literally burning a hole in my pocket. Other than the headline changes to the v7, what other improvement/changes have been made? I'm reading mixed views on the robustness of the keyboard, that the base is great but the lid/hinges a little flimsy...have these been changed on the v7?

Frankly don't care about Thunderbolt 3..nice QOL i guess but not essential and Kaby Lake would be nice...screen wise it would seem that the v7 pushes on the 4k front but 120hz/5ms is what floats my boat.

waldaize · 27 Feb 2017 at 10:29

And the reported striping issue with that display? Im more tempted by the x5 v6 if the striping could still be an issue.

waldaize · 27 Feb 2017 at 13:32

Screw it...bring on the v7.

Puts money back in the drawer for now.

waldaize · 2 Mar 2017 at 08:56

Looking good there Atom80...bit underdressed for work tho.

waldaize · 3 Mar 2017 at 19:41

Promise to tell us on Monday yeah?

waldaize · 10 Mar 2017 at 15:28

Yeah not me. I did not purchase as I am impatiently awaiting the v7's

waldaize · 12 Mar 2017 at 10:13

Sooooooooo excited for this week. For no other reason than blind uncontrollable optimism I'm sure to be placing my order/pre-order for an X5 or X7 V7 by the end of the week.

Cheers Atom80!!!1!1!!!1!@! $#$@!!!!!
