AORUS 16X (2024) Gaming Laptop - 165Hz 2560x1600 WQXGA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - Intel i7-14650HX - 1TB SSD with 32GB DDR5 RAM - Windows 11 Home AD (AORUS 16X ASG-53USC64SH)

Absolute garbage. This is the second one I’ve bought this month and both has the exact same boot up issues. Straight out the box the second one needed to be restarted because windows could not install properly, and after prompting me this multiple times over multiple set ups, system recovery directly tells me the device needs repair. I didn’t even make it far enough to tell it what language to even use. The previous one (which was cheaper) had the courtesy of having these issues a few days after purchase instead of immediately out of the box

I picked this up mainly for work, some creative projects, and light multitasking, but I have to say, it’s surprisingly overpowered in the best way.The Intel Ultra 9 chip in here is no joke. Everything opens instantly, and even under heavy multitasks (video calls, editing, running multiple tabs and programs), it doesn’t slow down. The RTX 5070 Ti adds a level of headroom I wasn’t expecting. I didn’t buy this just to push graphics, but it’s nice to know it can handle whatever I throw at it with zero stutter.What really stands out is the OLED display. It’s sharp, smooth, and just looks incredible. The 240Hz refresh rate makes everyday use feel noticeably snappier, even just scrolling or moving windows around. Colors are deep and rich, and it’s easy on the eyes for long hours.Design-wise, it’s got that clean, premium look with a little RGB personality—not flashy, but not boring either. It feels solid, not plastic-y, and the cooling doesn’t scream at you when things heat up.If you want a machine that looks good, feels premium, and performs beyond expectations, this one checks all the boxes.
