Hi All,

Wanted to shout this unit in the forums as its representing great value for a new gen RTX3060 graphics card, with a Total Graphics Power rating of 105W, coupled with a 6 core, Core i5 Intel CPU

There has been big increases in component costs since the beginning of the year, and also shortages on key parts such as screens, but we have worked hard to bring this unit in at an appealing price.

GIGABYTE G5 : 15.6" 144Hz FHD, i5-10500H (6 core) , RTX 3060P (6GB), 2 x 8GB 3200MHz, 512GB PCIe, Win10H : £1,199



This unit has the capacity to accept up to 6TB Storage:



1x 2.5” - SPARE BAY HDD/ SSD slot (supports 7mm or thinner)
2x M.2 SSD slots (Type 2280, supports 1x NVMe PCIe & SATA/ 1x NVMe PCIe) - 1 x 512GB installed

** Unit can be opened and additional storage and/or RAM can be installed without voiding our 2 Year Manufacturers Warranty (Customer Induced Damage not covered)

Multitask like a Boss : 1+3 Display Multi-tasking Power

With DP, Mini DP and HDMI connectors, the G5 supports 3 external displays, making it a 1+3 display monster. This is the only station you need for Gaming, working and all your media consumption.






The G5 gaming laptop is powered by Ampere: NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 GPU supports real-time ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and programmable shading, bringing gamers a whole new gaming / working experience.

RAY TRACING Accurately reproduce realistic light ray and physics in game, producing a natural visual landscape for a next gen experience

Will Gigabyte/Aorus be releasing a 2021 refresh of the Aorus 17X, or is that not happening as the highest TGP 3080 Laptop GPU is 150W (plus Dynamic Boost) ?

Looks like the big boys are sitting it out this year. No GT series from MSI, no A51M from Dell and no 17X from Gigabyte.

Thing is you can still get the Lenovo Legion 5p with the below for £800. Add an extra 8gb and additional hard drive and there's nothing that comes close to it in terms of price. Seems to score higher than most the 3060 laptops as well which are £300-500 more.

RAM: 8 GB / Storage: 256 GB SSD
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB

Hi @Kohaashi - thanks for your question,,,,,, you will hopefully be delighted to learn that YES, we will soon have our AORUS 17X model back on the shelf, packing the 150W TGP rated RTX3080 (16GB vRAM) card, with additional max 15W Dynamic boost Stay tuned

Hi @Simmz - Thanks for the feedback. And without digging too deep, its a case of "horses for courses" really, if you want last gen CPU, last gen GPU, Minimal storage and minimal ram, then fair enough. The G5 represents good bang for your buck for current CPU and GPU combo, and future storage expansion opportunities as a benefit, rather than a necessity due to a minimal spec.

Maybe so, not slating it, just saying. Some of these new cards the wattages are awful. Terms of upgrades can add an extra 8gb and an extra hard drive and still have something at £900 which is £300 cheaper. Might be older gen, but it still performs better than this model and the cooling ability is far greater also.

Kind of wish they just stuck to defaults across the ranges as these new cards in laptops has caused more confusion than it has good.

Excited to hear
I recently returned an m15 r4 following news of 11th gen Intel coming out in May/June so I’m hoping the Aorus 17X will be its replacement.

Any idea if it will come with a QHD display?

Also, ditch the HDD bay and use it for something else, everyone uses NVMe M2 drives now.

Hi @Kohaashi - panel spec will be 300HZ FHD.

Will be populated with a 512GB Gen 4 PCIe, and a 1TB Gen 3 PCIe.

The lack of a QHD option for 17” laptops is disappointing, but it seems most manufacturers are supporting QHD for 15” laptops when they would make more sense on 17” laptops.

I wouldn’t purchase a 17” laptop that isn’t QHD or 4K. As a result my next purchase will probably be the Alienware m15 R5 or R6 (whatever they call 11th gen Intel model).

Maybe gigabyte could release a 15X - take the key benefits of the X range and put it inside a premium 15” chassis. Or use a FHD+ panel like Lenovo.
