Is it still worth buying?

The Aorus 15 X9 is Gigabyte's attempt at creating a laptop that can deliver a top class gaming experience, while also being portable enough to carry around with you. The 15.6inch chassis features thin bezels, a 144Hz display, and packs a powerful punch with an i7 8750H and RTX 2070. With a retail price of around £2000 all that power doesn't come cheap, so how good is it? 

Specifications:

  • Screen Size: 15.6″
  • Screen Type: LG 15.6″ Thin Bezel IPS 144Hz Panel
  • Screen Resolution: 1920×1080

  • Extra Features: 1x Mini SD card Reader, HD Camera, RGB Keyboard

This laptop uses the hexacore i7-8750H processor which we have seen in many high end laptops since its release. The processor has a base clock of 2.2GHz but will turbo boost up to 4.1GHz under load on a single core. During our testing we saw a maximum all core boost clock speed of 3.9GHz.

The 16GB of memory is DDR4 and runs at a speed of 2666MHz. The GPU Z screenshots show the dedicated RTX 2070 graphics has 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The default clock is 1315MHz and it has a rated boost clock of 1540MHz. During testing we noticed the boost clock peaked at 1680MHz.

The post Razer Blade 15 Base (2018) Review (i7-8750H & GTX1060 Max-Q) first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
We took a look at the recently updated Razer Blade 15 Advanced model back in October and in this review we assess the newest Base model which is Razer's way of introducing some of the Razer Blade's features to a more budget conscious audience. It still doesn't come cheap with a RRP of £1,480 for the 128GB model, but it does shave off around £250 from the starting price of the Advanced model. But what has been sacrificed and is this a laptop a worthy member of the well-regarded Razer Blade line up?

The 16GB of memory is DDR4 and runs at a speed of 2667MHz. The GPU-Z screenshots show both the Intel integrated graphics and the dedicated Max Q Nvidia GTX 1060. The Max Q GTX 1060 features 6GB of GDDR5 memory and has a default clock of 1265MHz and a rated boost clock of 1480MHz. However, during testing we did notice the boost clock peaked at nearly 1750MHz and levelled out around 1600Mhz which is rather impressive and makes it a very fast Max Q GPU.

The Fusion II from PC Specialist aims to combine elegance with power to create a portable gaming laptop suitable for all scenarios.

The post ASUS ROG Strix Hero II GL504GM Laptop Review first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Back in June ASUS announced new versions of its Hero and Scar gaming laptops. We then got a closer look at the Scar II when we visited ASUS HQ in August and we knew its release wasn't far away. That brings us to today where we finally have our hands on the Strix Hero II GL504GM. In this review we put it through its paces to find out if this is a must have laptop for gamers on the go and whether it is worth the £1800 asking price.

The post Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 (6 core 8750H, 144Hz, GTX 1070 Max-Q) first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Today we see the launch of the Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 that packs the brand new Intel Core i7-8750HQ. This is a mobile version of Intel’s 8th Gen Coffee Lake CPU with six cores that takes over at the high end of Intel’s range from the quad core models that have been in vogue since 2009.

Gigabyte tells us the Aero 15 is the first laptop with a really thin bezel to sport a 144Hz display panel, however we know for a fact the new MSI GS65 has a very similar specification. Although Mobile 8th Gen CPUs are brand new we already have the clear impression that ultra-thin laptops with a large screen are going to be smack bang in the mainstream during 2018.

Features
8th Generation Intel Core i7-8750H 6-core processor
Up to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 with GDDR5 8GB VRAM
Thin Bezel Design: Full HD 144Hz/UHD Adobe RGB 100% Display
X-Rite Pantone Certified Display
All day battery: 94.24Whr
Gigabyte Fusion per-Key RGB backlit Keyboard
Thunderbolt 3 ready for high speed data transmission
Support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 for 4K@60Hz output
Dual M.2 SSD/ RAM Slots

Specification
CPU Intel 8th Gen. Core i7-8750HQ, 6 cores with HT, 2.2GHz base clock, All Core Boost 3.4GHz, Max Boost 4.0GHz, 45W TDP
Screen 15.6-inch, 1,920×1,080 resolution, 144Hz refresh IPS
Graphics Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q
Memory 16GB G.Skill RipJaws DDR4-2666MHz
SSD 512GB Toshiba THNSN5512 M.2 NVMe
Storage 2x PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slots
Audio 2x 2W speakers
Ethernet Realtek Gigabit
Wi-Fi Intel AC 8265 Wireless

I/O ports
1x USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-A
2x USB 3.1 Gen1Type-A
1x Thunderbolt 3 Type-C
1x HDMI 2.0
1x Mini DisplayPort 1.4
Headphone jack
SD card reader

Battery 94.24Wh 6200mAh, 215W adapter
Dimensions 356mm x 250mm x 18mm
Weight 2.09kg plus 720g for power supply and mains cable

The specification of the Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 is impressive as it takes that combination of 6-core CPU and GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics and adds a satisfying list of ports and connectors, along with 16GB of G.Skill DDR4 and a 512GB SSD. Topping off the list of features, we have an aluminium chassis with an overall thickness of 18mm and a weight that is slightly over 2kg.

While the performance of the new Core i7-8750H is clearly a matter of keen interest, we were completely confident it would eclipse previous quad core laptops with Mobile 7th Gen Kaby Lake, in just the same way that desktop Coffee Lake comfortably beats its predecessor.

The key numbers for the new Core i7-8750H are a base speed of 2.2GHz, all core Turbo speed of 3.4GHz and a claimed Maximum Turbo speed of 4.2GHz on a single core, although we only saw a speed of 4.1GHz in our tests. Maximum Turbo speeds are limited by thermal packages and power, and beyond that they are ‘maximum’ rather than ‘guaranteed.’ The GTX 1070 Max-Q graphics have been demonstrated to work effectively at a screen resolution of 1,920×1,080 so our mood at the start of this review was upbeat and optimistic.

A couple of points immediately came to our attention. The first being the keyboard layout which is mildly annoying with the DEL key inboard of the NUM pad instead of being positioned at the top right.

The second is the set of Gigabyte utilities that controls the lighting in the keyboard, allows you to set fan profiles and also reports on the temperatures and clock speeds inside your new laptop. The software is useful and does a decent job however it feels unnecessary. Can anyone honestly claim they are able to use a laptop with the keyboard lighting set to Rainbow Marquee? By the same token do we really need the ability to set a custom fan curve when it surely makes better sense to leave the job to a highly trained team of development engineers at the factory?
