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.

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.

A 7820HK and single 1080Ti would be perfect... iI wonder which manufacturers will do that.

I'd be very tempted to upgrade my Asus 980m machine as the 1070 is already around 70% or so faster! Never has ther ebeen such a huge generational leap in laptop GPU performance, it really is the start of a new era...
 
It's a good looker, not sure how nice it will look when you're playing an intensive game and it melts into a pile of plastic :p

Hi All,

Thanks for your interest, thoughts and insights :-)

The model was shown at CES simply as a conceptual piece that will come to market later this year, the primary reason for displaying it was to show the new chassis design housing a full mechanical keyboard - ie in what is a much slimmer profile machine any than competitor products using a mechanical keyboard.

The machine looks amazing in the flesh and all media and partners who we showed it to spoke very highly of its appearance, feel and the overall project objective.

We haven't spoken about the internal hardware spec, (much to the annoyance of most visitors!) as it hasn't been decided yet, so we are working on a number of flavours and currently anything you see, read or hear will be pure speculation......

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.

Thanks again for your interest and comments...

Regards,

Team AORUS

Performance tends to be impractical. In laptops either big and heavy or slim and noisy. Same with cars tbh.

I was talking purely from a heat perspective. There is nothing wrong with a 17" laptop chassis such as the ASUS G7XX or MIS GT7X series... the heat management is good and it is still portable. That is exactly what I want from a high-end gaming laptop, a desktop replacement, that will sit in the same place for 90% of the time, but when I want to take it to a friends for a LAN session, or away on a trip with me, then it is still easy to do so.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
