![]() ![]() The volume can be controlled in meeting or energy-saving mode, but only with reduced performance. In addition, the fan noise is quite high-frequency and a bit unpleasant in the long run. We measured a full 61 dB(A) at the peak, which is significantly higher than other gaming notebooks that we have tested recently. – the gaming notebook can get really unpleasantly loud. Even during light office tasks, the fans regularly rev up and reach up to 38 dB(A). Unfortunately, the Gigabyte AORUS 15X is anything but quiet during work. On the right, there is one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and one USB-C port with Thunderbolt 4 including PowerDelivery and DisplayPort legacy mode. On the left side, there is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and a combined 3.5 mm jack port. Here we find HDMI 2.1, Mini DisplayPort 1.4 and the 2.5 Gbit LAN port in addition to the power connector. The manufacturer distributes the most important and permanently connected ports to the back. ![]() However, we not only like the selection of ports in the Gigabyte AORUS 15X very much, but also their positioning. The WLAN signal strength in particular fluctuates strongly at times in our test setup without us moving the 15X. However, the stability and speeds in WLAN operation leave something to be desired and cannot keep up with other notebooks we have already tested. The built-in stereo speakers achieve a very good maximum volume, but only rank in the midfield in terms of sound quality.īesides Bluetooth 5.2, the notebook communicates wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6E or wired thanks to 2.5 Gbit RJ45 LAN. The equipment is rounded off by a webcam in Full HD resolution, which has a good image quality, but not really accurate color reproduction. It will be interesting to see how the model with less VRAM but more power performs against the RTX 4090 in the ROG Zephyrus G14. As already mentioned, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with 8 GB VRAM and a maximum TDP of 140 watts is used as the graphics card. In addition, there are 16 gigabytes of DDR5-4800 working memory in dual-channel mode, as well as a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Thus, the manufacturer installs an Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU that combines 16 computing cores with 24 threads and clock rates of up to 5,000 MHz. In terms of equipment, the Gigabyte AORUS 15X places itself in the upper mid-range of gaming notebooks in the 2023 model year. Slightly slow WLAN speakers only average.There is nothing to complain about in terms of build quality, which is on a very good level throughout. The device measures 357 mm x 274 mm x 19.6 mm and weighs in at 2,280 grams – the 280 watt power supply is no lightweight either and adds another 883 grams to the total package. ![]()
