Gigabyte AORUS 17X Review

Gigabyte AORUS 17X with Core i9-14900HX, RTX 4080 12GB and 32GB DDR5 in a 17.3-inch 240Hz desktop-replacement chassis.

A large-screen desktop replacement built for maximum frame rates, with both storage slots populated out of the box.

Overview

The 17X scales the 16X formula up to a 240Hz 17.3-inch panel and a higher-tier RTX 4080, at the cost of nearly 3kg of weight.

Our verdict

Expert rating8.8 / 10

The Aorus 17X is a 17.3-inch desktop replacement with a Core i9-14900HX, an RTX 40 series GPU carrying 12GB of VRAM and 32GB of DDR5 in SO-DIMM slots. The 2560 x 1600 panel runs at 240Hz, with a 2TB drive, a 99Wh battery and Thunderbolt 4. It suits maximum frame-rate gaming.

At 2.9 kg it is heavy to carry, and the storage slot is already filled. Portability-focused buyers should look elsewhere.
