Leader of global PC brand, GIGABYTE today launched its latest version AORUS series professional gaming notebooks and their AERO notebooks for content creators. Aside from many high-end gaming features, the new generation processors and GPUs have undergone "significant" upgrades. GIGABYTE is the first in the industry to launch ultra-performance notebooks that feature 10th gen Intel Core i9/i7 H series 8-core CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series SUPER GPUs. AORUS partners up with world renowned G2 Esports to launch brand new gaming notebooks tailored to match the requirements of pro gamers, including features like mechanical keyboards, a 240Hz refresh rate display and enhanced cooling technology, redefining the requirements of a professional gaming notebook.
 
In collaboration with G2 Esports, GIGABYTE launches its flagship AORUS 17X, AORUS 17G, and AORUS 15G high end models, tailoring its notebooks to the needs of pros. Upgrades to this include three 10th gen Intel processors - overclocking-capable Intel Core i9-10980HK, Intel Core i7-10875H and Intel Core i7-10750H. Perhaps the most eye-catching is the i7-10875H, the first mobile Core i7 processor featuring 8 cores, 16 threads. As for graphics, in addition to GeForce RTX 20-series and the GeForce GTX 16 series, the all-new flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and RTX 2070 SUPER have been added to enhance media processing speed and gaming performance.
 
The new Aero laptops (available in 15- and 17-inch models) start at $1,599 and $1,699, respectively, and will ship with 1080p displays and the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti by default. The 15-inch model has the option to be upgraded to an OLED screen starting at $1,899, with optional support for 4K HDR resolution. The 17-inch version’s display can also be upgraded to support 4K HDR, though Gigabyte’s press release doesn’t specify if it’s OLED. That one costs $2,299 to start.
 
If you’re looking for something more affordable in the gaming department, the updated Aorus 5 and Aorus 7 start at $1,299 and $1,399, respectively. These machines feature the Intel Core i7-10750H, and at the lowest cost, they ship with Nvidia’s GTX 1650 Ti graphics, with support up to the RTX 2060 if you want to spend more. Given the cheaper prices, these are a bit stripped down in terms of features compared to the new Aorus entries above. They don’t have a mechanical keyboard built in, nor do they have 240Hz refresh rate displays. Instead, these use displays with a 144Hz refresh rate, which is still plenty fast. These are expected to release in late April.
 
Looks like prices for gaming laptops are really becoming expensive. I guess (in my opinion) the days of sub 1000 dollar gaming laptops is in the past.
