A:Answer should be anywhere from $3400-$3599 depending on what config it is, Gigabyte up until recently had the Aorus 17X with the i9 13900HX, and the 13950HX.
They are now going to be releasing one with the 13980HX, not much difference between them, they are all 24 core/32 thread CPUs with more than enough performance, the only difference is 100 mhz
i9-13900HX (max boost 5.4 ghz)
i9-13950HX (max boost 5.5 ghz)
i9-13980HX (max boost 5.6 ghz)
I expect Bestbuy will be getting stocked with the 13980HX models next, grab whatever you can when they are available, the i9 doesn't matter get whatever is available when it's in stock, you can't go wrong with either its' the same CPU
You may see all 3 CPU clock speeds offered on Amazon and Newegg soon too, Gigabyte's plan was to roll out each one within a few weeks of eachother to get supply going, then i would imagine months down the road folks will be able to order them with options vs what the stores are stocked with, but that's just me speculating that last piece, the key on their site says *up to i9-139XX* (13950/13980 etc )
