Gigabyte and Aorus making their marks on Computex 2017

Press release

Gigabyte, innovator in computing, alongside Aorus, leader in high-end gaming laptops and peripherals are making their marks on Computex 2017. Main activities are concentrated on the Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, booth D0002, where the headlining act is the AERO series with the new AERO 15 being showcased alongside an updated AERO 14.

Under the banner "Mobility, Productivity, Connectivity" the AERO series caters for the demanding professionals, and both models promise features such as a slim frame combined with low weight, up to 10h of battery life, high-end IPS screen panels calibrated to meet the X-Rite Pantone color space, as well as Thunderbolt 3 and USB Type-C connectivity. Both models are powered by 7th generation Intel Core processors and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti (AERO 14) as well as Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (AERO 15).

The AERO 15 further stands out by incorporating a 15-inch panel into the chassis of a 14-inch laptop, through the use of screen bezels only 5mm thick.

GIGABYTE AERO 15 comes in at 1.9cm thick and 2.1kg with a 94Wh battery, ensuring go-anywhere mobility.

Elsewhere, in the Taipei 101, Gigabyte and Aorus host an invite-only VIP function, where the full 2017 lineup of Gigabyte gaming laptops are being exhibited, with the star of the show being the brand new P56XT, powered by Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics, offering extreme performance in a 15.6-inch form factor.

"Aside from the AERO series, the biggest news in the Gigabyte lineup for Computex is the P56XT, an ultra-high performance gaming machine with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 graphics and our Gigabyte Fusion RGB keyboard in a 15.6-inch form factor. At the Taipei 101 venue, we'll also exhibit our lineup in full, including models such as the Sabre 15 Pro, Sabre 15 and Sabre 17, which are more value-oriented machines, yet still engineered for serious gaming needs, with GPUs such as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050, 1050Ti and the 1060," said Vincent Liu, associate vice president of Gigabyte Notebook.

Aorus too is in the groove at TWTC with updated versions of the laptops X3, X5, X7 as well as the X9 set to be unveiled, flanked by a variety of gaming peripherals, such as mechanical keyboards and gaming mice.

"The main attraction is the new X5 gaming laptop with its raw power courtesy of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, and the highly overclockable Intel Core i7-7820HK CPU. During our rigorous internal testing, we've reached clock speeds of over 5GHz, which speaks volumes of not only the cooling system, but also the internal power design. The X5 still comes with all the gamer-centric features you'd expect, such as the RGB Fusion keyboard, quick and responsive display panels and software such as XSplit Gamecaster and TriDef Smartcam," commented Jonas Klar, Technical Marketing Representative at Aorus.

Other Aorus products debuting during Computex are mechanical keyboards AK700 and AK710. The AK700 is equipped with the gamers' favorite switch - the Cherry MX Red, full individual 16.8M color backlighting and chunky adjustable rubber feet allowing the users to adjust the angle of the keyboard to their specific liking, as well as full N-key rollover capabilities and a built in 256k memory for macro profile storage.

Setting the AK710 apart is its use of optical Flaretech switches, lowering response time, prolonging the lifetime of the switch, and perhaps most importantly, making the keyboard splashproof. Naturally, the AK710 comes with full individual RGB backlighting controlled through the Aorus Engine software.
