I have a fever.Heat.It's hot.
After all, exhaust heat is important to give a performance that you expect from the specifications.GIZMODO has reviewed Gigabyte (Gigabite) game laptop AUROS 17G.To be honest, the unfortunate point is clearer than a good point.
Game laptops have become thinner and lighter than in recent years.However, it is for the game.It is still heavy as a laptop.Although some changes showed with the appearance of MAX-Q, there are many people who do not want to compromise on performance.If it stops at such gamers or creators, it's Gigabyte's new product AORUS 17G.However, there are some points that I am worried about personally.
Gigabyte AORUS 17g
What is this?: The laptop renewed with Intel 10th generation CPU and RTX SUPER GPU.Price: $ 2700.(307,780 yen in Japan. There are also cheap grades due to the difference between displays and GPUs.) Good: A quiet and quiet key, 240Hz display.Unfortunately: The size of the keyboard, the position of the web cam, the game performance that I wanted to do.
If you are worried and touch the points, first of all, the whole.
The shiny AORUS logo design is cool on the mat processing surface.The display is only 3 mm with bezel and is quite thin as a game terminal.By the way, the weight is 6 pounds (about 2).7 km).
The first impression from the box is definitely a sophisticated beautiful laptop.The specifications are also good.The processor is Intel's Core i7-10875H (8 core/16 threads, base clock 2.Maximum boost 5 at 3GHz.1GHz), GPU is RTX 2070 SUPER, RAM is 16GB DDR4-2933, SSD is 512GB m.2。インテルがモバイルi7プロセッサに8コア搭載したのは初めて、かつRTX Super GPUを最初に採用したラップトップの1つという注目点も。Gigabyte AORUS 17gは、インテル＆Nvidiaの最新モバイルパーツを搭載した最初のラップトップの1つです。
The keyboard is good or bad, the power supply and camera position is "?"
The first thing to worry about when the design and specifications are wonderful.As soon as you open the lap top, the keyboard is.The key is too square.too small.The feeling between keys is too narrow.It feels like a prototype that forcibly pushed a full -size keyboard in a limited space has come to the market.
However, strangely, it is easy to use.Because it is a mechanical keyboard, the feeling of touch and pushing is so cool.In addition, it is quieter than a similar type of desktop keyboard with a blue axis.Personally, I liked the red axis because of the type of sound, but AORUS 17G is like an old typewriter somewhere, and it is comfortable for my ears.The response of the key is speedy without any problems from games to normal typing.
The keyboard is a complicated place that I like, but I don't like the power port port.There are places where the cord is inserted into the right side of the laptop, but if you use this mouse, it will be quite disturbing.Even more frustrating is that this port is in the middle of the right side.So, no matter where you turn the code, it will get in the way.
In addition, the battery mochi is 4 hours in the Gizmodo video continuous playback battery test.Then you often work with chords.This is a video, so it's especially true for game play that eats power.
The position of the charging port, the battery, the location of the web camera is the only thing that cannot be forgiven!It was a problem that was one of the previous generations of Dell XPS 13, but there is a webcam under the display to make the bezel thinner.As a result, if you feel depressed, you have to lift the laptop to your eyes.If you keep it on your desk, your face will be cut off and you will only see the fuselage.The camera specification is a maximum of 720p 30 FPS, so the image quality is a bit blurred.
The display is good as the game gets better
Even if the image quality of the web cam is bad, the display is wonderful.
The 1080P 240Hz display is a difference between the 1080p monitor and the 1080p monitor used at work.240Hz means that 240 frames can be displayed on the display per second.
It is skeptical that a normal gamer will rise on the 240Hz display when playing an FPS game (First Person Shooting Game), but the difference between 60Hz and 240Hz is obvious.If you play more seriously about FPS than MMO, I think this difference will be used.By the way, I was playing "overwatch", and depending on the hero (character used), the results of 5 % to 10 % have increased.However, this is because the lower ranked player was the opponent, so if the opponent is a professional gamer, you will not be able to win even if you use 240Hz.
The display quality of AORUS 17G is 1080p, not 4K or 1440p.This is the result of giving priority to frame rate over image quality.Rather than displaying high -quality and beautiful paintings on the GPU, we want to focus on those who have more frames per second.The problem is how far the refresh rate comes.
With RTX 2070 SUPER, how far can you bring out the goodness of 240Hz?When I played "Overwatch" in 1080p Ultra, it was a little 200 fps.However, this depends on the game, some of which do not go to 100fps.In "Furry 5", it was 65fps, "TOTAL WAR: Warhammer II" was 77fps, and "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" was 85fps.The lowest was "Metro Exodus", 51fps.If there is a late racing, it will go down further and 42fps.Although this number is not much different from using RTX 2070 Super on the desktop, it should still be about 98fps for Far Cry 5.
The most problematic problem is exhaust heat
The key size, the position of the power port, the web cam, the battery, and the worrisome point, but the biggest drawback is the exhaust heat.It gets really hot.Especially CPU 4.8/4.If you do your best to go to the 9GHz clock, the heat will be amazing.
Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost is up to 200 MHz for temperature 65 degrees or less, 100MHz for 85 degrees or less, and the higher the temperature, the higher the performance.The problem is that it also uses Intel's Turbo Boost Technology, which stabilizes the CPU core performance and speeds up.This operates up to 92 degrees, but in that case, the benefits of 200MHz's Thermal Velocity Boost are less than 65 degrees.
Game terminals have recently been increasing in the hot industry.This specification is a bit harsh at $ 2700.Intel's Core i7-10875H is not overclocked, so you have to rely on Turbo Boost Technology and Thermal Velocity Boost, but if you want to benefit from both, heat is a bottleneck.The frame rate of RTX 2070 SUPER is not bad, but if you want to go three digits, you have to lower the graphic settings.
There is a view that Intel and NVIDIA's latest technologies are unveiled, but honestly, it is hard to say that they are absolutely buying.Should I decide on other terminals and decide carefully?I don't want to say.
・ Mechanical keyboard & 240Hz Display are ideal for FPS games.
・ If you are a single player game, the performance is a little 60fps.
・ The position of the web cam is bad!
・ Considering the price, maybe a self -made PC would be better.
Correction: At the beginning of the article, there was a place where Gigabyte was described as gigabite.I will correct it with sincerity.sorry!
