 Hi, I'm Vlad with The Verge at CES 2014 and this is the Aorus X7. Aorus is a new gaming brand that's launching here at the show from the same guys who make Gigabyte motherboards and graphics cards. This 17-inch laptop is the company's flagship product and it is a suitably ambitious project. Unlike most gaming rigs, it measures less than an inch in thickness and is a relatively spelled 6.4 pounds in weight. This thanks to an all-aluminum construction plus a cooling system of 5 heat pipes, 2 fans and 4 vents. The X7 doesn't compromise on specs. It comes with two GeForce GTX 765M graphics cards, making it the first GTX SLI laptop, an Intel Haswell processor, up to 32GB of RAM and a variety of storage options, from a single 128GB SSD to multi-drive options that take you into terabyte territory. The gamer-centric additions include a Killer LAN networking card, a backlit keyboard with minimal latency and a glass touchpad. There's also two HDMI ports and a mini-display port, which could potentially use to output video to three external monitors. The 17.3-inch screen is matte and has a 1920x1080 resolution. It works together with a pair of subwoofers and two tweeters to establish the X7's credentials as an audio-visual powerhouse. Though this is still obviously a laptop, don't expect awesome sound. I tried out the X7 with Devil May Cry at 1080p with ultra-graphic settings and it was a joy to behold. The display is attractive, I definitely prefer it over glossy alternatives and the frame rate was buttery smooth. Starting at $2,099 and available at the end of February, the Aorus X7 looks like a good start for this new company. It's certainly one of the most reasonable looking gaming laptops that we've seen yet.
