Aorus X7

[colinmcr]

Anyone know when the Aorus X7 will be available to the UK? Hope OCUK can get some in stock. I need to replace my dead Samsung Q330.

I would also be interested if anyone has any information on estimated UK release and cost; can't find anything about this!

Awesome Gibbo thanks for the info.

Looks like a nice laptop.... But a few things are odd....
In many ways, it appears similar to Gigabyte 's P35k with a larger (non-IPS) 17" screen, no ODD/swappable Bay and an additional 765m? Just wondering why the ODD is dropped in a larger chassis, as figure there must be space even with the additional gfx card.... And why TN panel at this price?

Still, all said, a very nice looking/spec laptop

Just wondering is it easy to change to windows 7?

I still think my Razer Blade is a nicer looking laptop, but the spec on that X7 is fantastic and it's not bad to look at either.

I think this laptop should sell well for Gigabyte (Aorus's parent company I think).

Looking at the Hexus review the chassis is extremely tightly packed, there is no room for the ODD within the given thickness.

I would assume that the lack of ODD is due to the increased cooling requirement and (assumed) re-location of other components.

Gibbo, will you be bringing in the new Aorus X7 announced this week featuring GTX860M?

Very nice with the 860M in Sli. I was waiting for the Gigabyte P34G refresh but can't see it in stock anywhere yet.

 

[seunje]

Same here! Would place an order immediately.

AORUS X7 - next generation

Hi,

I am currently in Taipei and will be seeing Mr Gibbo today (Tuesday), I can however confirm that OCUK already have order placed with us for the New Aorus X7 and we "expect" delivery to hit OCUK warehouse around the end of June.

We will advise OCUK to put new spec and ETA on web-site very soon.

Gibbo and myself will make big noise on forums when we are ready to take Pre-orders

Thanks for your interest in this truly stunning and innovative Gaming Notebook.

Regards,

Gigabyte UK NB Team

To clarify, P34 V2 stock is on order for OCUK and should be landing very soon, we will switch the Skus on very soon to enable pre-orders.

Hope that helps.

The SLI 860M is faster than an 880M... very impressive. Will be a beast of a gaming laptop.
