I have to comment, this thing looks beautiful;

I am filled with so much regret that I settled on a machine just before Christmas.

Looking forward to seeing some specifications and details on the cooling. Some sites are reporting that this may be one of the first laptops to come with a 1080 ti.

FTFY.

Don't get me wrong x2 ti's would be incredible but the pricing would be eye watering.

And I really want one when it comes out.

Get in line!

I would be seriously worried about the heat management with 2x 1080Ti's in a chassis that slim. Seriously worried.

Yes this would be a concern.

Notebooks at the moment have never been closer to towers with regards to the gap in performance.

That said, although the GPU's and CPU's have come on a country mile, the current generation of machines seem to be plagued with thermal issues.

If Aorus released this machine with say a 7820HK and a 1080 ti coupled with a ground breaking cooling solution then I really do believe they would clean up. I mean the thing looks amazing and initial reports say the keyboard feels great.

Of course this will be a "hero" product and sit at the top of our range, so we will expect hardware to be at the pinnacle, and pricing will offer good value for the performance and hardware within.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
