Customers recognize the AORUS 15.6" gaming laptop's strong performance and upgradable RAM as significant advantages, along with its good graphics and generally solid build quality. However, some users point to the noticeable fan noise and relatively short battery life as drawbacks. Concerns were also raised regarding the laptop's boot times and its weight.
This PC is awesome, been using it for a month now, it gets even better once you upgrade the RAM on it. It supports DDR5 5200mHz SO-DIMM RAM and it became a beast once I put 2x16gb sticks of Crucial RAM on it, more than I'll ever need but leaves extra room for smooth performance. It only cost 80$ for that upgrade and it was an easy install. You do need a T6 Torx Tool and some kind of guitar pick to open it up but it doesn't take long. The lock for the RAM that was originally there was so hard to take out I thought I would give up and not risk breaking it, but it came out with a bit of downforce close to where the lock got stuck, not sure why but I'm guessing it's the tape was gluing it very well on the board. The 1080p 144hz display is well built with no creak sound and barely any backlight. At this price point it is a laptop that feels premium and is very sturdy, although the case being a dark grey makes your fingerprints very visible even when you try to avoid it. My personal favorite detail is probably the touchpad with the holographic colored effect. The Gigabyte control center is very useful and gives you lots of control. The only problem I had so far is related to the BIOS. I'm still not sure if it is a hardware or software problem, but when I try to warm reboot my PC it gets stuck on the BIOS. If I do a cold restart it boots up normally with no problem. I'm guessing the BIOS is new cause I can't find any help online, no BIOS looks like mine. It doesn't have a Boot Priority option so I can't even change that to try and solve it, and I'm not currently living in the U.S. so I'm guessing Best Buy can't help me. But oh well, cold restarts are better anyways. But I wish this hadn't happened.

It's pretty nice. Graphics are good, I can run games with ray tracing. (Only have a couple right now) better lasts a pretty good while, don't have like everything open at once though. Doesn't stuffer when I'm online or anything.

It works well and hasnt slowed me up at all so far. It runs a little loud and a little hot but it does run great.
