1 00:00:00,398 --> 00:00:03,670 - Oh, we have got a sick laptop right here. 2 00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:07,300 And I can tell you that for sure, because this thing is from Aorus 3 00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,330 and they sponsored this video and if it sucks, 4 00:00:10,330 --> 00:00:13,760 I get to have an awkward conversation with them and you don't see this video. 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,280 So here we go. Oh, let's just get straight into it here. 6 00:00:21,586 --> 00:00:26,020 [Jono] What's so cool about this laptop? - Well, we'll find out what's cool about this laptop, Jono. 7 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:30,070 Just wait a second. First of all, we could see just how much power 8 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:34,950 we're dealing with in here, 230 Watts. That means this thing's going to be pretty powerful 9 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:39,290 which I already know, because I looked at the specs on the side of the box and it has a 3080 in it 10 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:43,650 and also an 11th gen Intel processor. So yeah, she's fast. 11 00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:47,710 It looks like they also included a thermal pad. 12 00:00:47,710 --> 00:00:52,350 Maybe like a three millimeter one. It's kind of a thick, I guess your SSD is upgradable 13 00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:55,440 because why else would they include this? 14 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,740 That's pretty cool though. 15 00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:01,283 And here we go. 16 00:01:07,060 --> 00:01:11,560 Very simple. I find sometimes Aorus can kind of get a bit 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,830 too spaceshipy with their designs. 18 00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:19,240 This one right here. I think they nailed it kind of going between 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,150 gigabytes arrow lineup, where it's pure class 20 00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:28,820 and race car, Ferrari spaceship. 21 00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:35,430 This is a good middle ground. For IO we've got full-sized HDMI DisplayPort 22 00:01:35,430 --> 00:01:39,790 or mini DisplayPort, full-sized USB type A, 23 00:01:39,790 --> 00:01:44,993 Ethernet, headphone, microphone. And on the other side we get, let's see here. 24 00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:50,330 It says it has Thunderbolt. Okay, double-check that. Thunderbolt four here. 25 00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:54,520 Doesn't have the little note Thunderbolt on it but we're all good there. 26 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,450 Full-sized SD card reader. I really like this, for most people it doesn't matter, 27 00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:03,730 but if you ever use a real camera, these are awesome. 28 00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:05,030 And two more type A ports. 29 00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:14,929 This keyboard cover that they have feels very good. 30 00:02:14,929 --> 00:02:19,620 I'm guessing you could probably use it afterwards to clean your display and stuff. 31 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:22,960 I always feel weird commenting on things 32 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:28,010 like chassis rigidity and sponsored videos but this is exceptional. 33 00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:35,320 You can see me pushing on it. The total deflection you might see on camera is a bit much 34 00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:38,930 but the overall rigidity is very high. 35 00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:45,890 It would appear that it's kind of like you have a plastic chassis with an aluminum top plate 36 00:02:47,470 --> 00:02:51,620 but the overall feel of it is very good. 37 00:02:51,620 --> 00:02:53,286 How heavy is it? Let's find out. 38 00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:59,900 Not from the spec sheet, from an actual scale because sometimes spec sheets lie. 39 00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:07,200 4.8 pounds, okay. Which is 2.2 kilograms for civilized people. 40 00:03:09,070 --> 00:03:12,720 Yeah, that might not be the lightest laptop I've ever used 41 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,890 but for something with 3080, that's damn impressive. 42 00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:22,523 Now my one complaint here it's not the worst thing in the world, but Gigabyte, please. 43 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,490 Your displays, they've been so floppy for so long. 44 00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,893 I've been complaining about this since 2017. 45 00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:32,593 Wow, that's a lot of RGB. 46 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:40,340 You can definitely tone it down but the default state is just pure unicorn vomit. 47 00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:46,200 Oh my God. I need to turn that down to tell you how good it is. 48 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,730 Oh, wait, what? I didn't do anything, but it turned to white 49 00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:53,190 and now it's much more chill. 50 00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:59,727 I do kind of like that in these laptops where you have full RGB access to be able to just be like, 51 00:03:59,727 --> 00:04:06,160 "All right, I'm going over to my friend's house and we're going to have just pure seizure warning needed 52 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:12,010 to turn this laptop on mode." And then you can go to a meeting with your professor 53 00:04:12,010 --> 00:04:16,674 at university and not feel like an idiot. What color do you guys want? 54 00:04:16,674 --> 00:04:20,499 - [Jono] Give me purple. - Purple? - [Emily] Purple for ShortCircuit 55 00:04:20,499 --> 00:04:22,253 - All right, purple. There we go. 56 00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:28,220 Also in here, we have our device settings. You will be able to get the absolute best performance 57 00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:36,060 if you come in and tune all of this yourself but they have their Microsoft AI first ever AI crap. 58 00:04:36,090 --> 00:04:42,730 And it actually kind of works. Basically, all it does is it selects a device profile 59 00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:46,150 based off of the game or application 60 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:50,900 or whatever that you're using. Most of the time when I use these laptops I just let that do its thing. 61 00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:54,340 Wonder how loud it is. Turbo mode, can I just put the Phantom Aux? 62 00:04:56,422 --> 00:05:00,740 Oh wow, that's pretty good. It's not whiny. 63 00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:05,030 A lot of laptops, especially ones with this much power 64 00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:09,060 can be very much like (screams) 65 00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:14,370 whereas this one right here is more, it's more of a woosh, I like it. 66 00:05:14,370 --> 00:05:17,640 Gigabyte was able to pull that quietness off apparently 67 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,970 by using two 71 blade fans and five heat pipes. 68 00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:26,510 We'll take a look at that in a bit but I'm actually pretty impressed by that. 69 00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:30,310 Now under the specs this is maybe the most interesting part of this laptop. 70 00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:33,670 So in here we have an i7-11800H. 71 00:05:33,670 --> 00:05:36,830 And is it good? I don't know. 72 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:41,660 We'll find out pretty soon. Aside from the CPU, we got 16 gigabytes of RAM, 73 00:05:41,660 --> 00:05:45,030 3,200 megahertz, that's actually pretty good for a laptop. 74 00:05:45,030 --> 00:05:48,290 One terabyte SSD, Intel Wi-Fi 6. 75 00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:52,930 They said, put the logo on the screen while I mentioned that, editor do that, please. 76 00:05:52,930 --> 00:05:56,700 But at the same time that's just basically the best Wi-Fi card that you can get. 77 00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:01,350 I'm glad to see it on here. And finally, we get an RTX 3080. 78 00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:06,950 This right here is 130 watt version. So not the most wattage that we've seen 79 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:10,400 but at the same time, that's a lot of power. 80 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,780 We also have the eight Gigabyte version here. Apparently there's an 16 Gigabyte one. 81 00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:19,070 I don't know that you should spring for that. You'll probably be fine with eight. 82 00:06:19,070 --> 00:06:24,570 Okay, okay. This keyboard seems quite good actually. 83 00:06:24,570 --> 00:06:29,510 I'm not surprised Aorus, well Gigabyte, but Aorus was kind of the first one 84 00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:33,600 to start putting really good keyboards in their gaming laptops. 85 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,040 The Aorus 15 was kind of the first slim gaming laptop 86 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,680 that had things like a good keyboard and a track pad 87 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,960 that also doesn't suck. This one right here is pretty good. 88 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,190 I wished that it was a little bit bigger but it is glass topped. 89 00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:53,003 The tracking's really good. And you're not going to have any problems with it. 90 00:06:54,066 --> 00:06:59,110 [Jono] What game do you wanna play? - I'm playing Valheim. I am sorry everyone that thinks it's a bad benchmark, 91 00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:03,510 but I like it as a game. So too bad. (chuckles) 92 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:06,690 Editor, please don't sign into my Steam account. 93 00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:10,810 Okay, let's see here. I kind of built a castle 94 00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:17,740 and it got a bit out of hand. Yeah, so I play this on a GTX 1080 95 00:07:17,740 --> 00:07:21,870 and ever since I built this big old castle here, it's struggled hard. 96 00:07:21,870 --> 00:07:28,127 It's still under construction, as you can see but my computer with a 1080 and a 5960 X, 97 00:07:30,270 --> 00:07:34,460 we're looking at rate around 18 FPS. 98 00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:39,460 Right now, I am getting 30 which might not sound too good. 99 00:07:39,650 --> 00:07:43,923 But in this situation, in this game is very impressive. 100 00:07:45,571 --> 00:07:49,640 - [Jono] I think you just wanna show off your house. - Yeah, I also just wanna show off my house. 101 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,363 Now we'll hop into good old do maternal. 102 00:07:54,190 --> 00:07:57,320 This is where we get to show off the display. See what we've got here. 103 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,320 240 Hertz as well as full SRGB coverage. 104 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:05,413 Okay, we're in doom here. 105 00:08:09,165 --> 00:08:12,523 It seems I'm getting a bit of hitching. I wonder what's up with that. Oh, okay. 106 00:08:12,523 --> 00:08:16,160 That's a little bit better. I adjusted some of the settings, resolution. 107 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,540 Everything was wrong. We're looking now at, 108 00:08:19,540 --> 00:08:23,230 it's going between 160 and 180 FPS. 109 00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:26,433 That's about what I would expect for a laptop like this. 110 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:31,050 Oh, this is such a hard game to talk and play at the same time. 111 00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:36,430 What was I talking about? Oh, damn. GPU is currently at 65 degrees. 112 00:08:36,430 --> 00:08:41,670 That's after a little bit of gaming. That is really good. 113 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:46,480 What I am intrigued about though is this processor. 114 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Now, Intel will absolutely hate that I'm doing this, 115 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,420 but at the same time you kind of just gotta, 116 00:08:54,420 --> 00:08:59,073 I wanna run cinebench and see what happens. Now for an eight core laptop, 117 00:08:59,950 --> 00:09:04,950 4,000 is a score that I would accept if it hits 5,000 118 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,520 that's like, whoa, wow. 4626, all right. 119 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,060 So that lands us good bit above last gen. 120 00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:15,633 That is very promising. 121 00:09:17,170 --> 00:09:21,700 I'm sorry Intel that I did that, but good job. 122 00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:24,850 Oh, it has a webcam. There's a little webcam down here. 123 00:09:26,451 --> 00:09:30,060 They have these super small bezels around the whole thing. 124 00:09:30,060 --> 00:09:32,263 That's nice, webcam down here. 125 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,640 It's not great, but at least they have one. 126 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,371 It is very much freed up to know that I don't look all the way down here. 127 00:09:41,371 --> 00:09:44,733 I still look kind of weird but at the same time. 128 00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:49,690 You at least get a webcam for somehow that's a plus. 129 00:09:49,690 --> 00:09:53,350 And with that, I really want to see how this thing is cool 130 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:59,523 because well, apparently it's cool. All right, let's look at, what's on the go in here. 131 00:10:00,909 --> 00:10:04,360 Now first thing, 99 watt hour battery, awesome. 132 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,000 So Aorus says that it'll get you eight hours 133 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,690 but I have done no battery testing on 11th gen Intel processors 134 00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:17,630 but eight hours does check out. And also in here you get two SSD slots. 135 00:10:17,630 --> 00:10:21,630 So this right here is the one that's empty. This one already is full. 136 00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:24,583 It also has two sodium slots that are easily accessible. 137 00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:29,930 There you go. Now you have your RAM. You can upgrade it just like that. 138 00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:34,870 As for cooling. It's kind of interesting how they did this. Normally you would expect to see kind of 139 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:41,200 more heat pipes going to smaller heat sinks. 140 00:10:41,630 --> 00:10:45,920 Whereas here they've gone and given you much bigger heat sinks 141 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,610 apparently they're all copper and also these nice big fans 142 00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:52,610 with 71 fins on each one of them. 143 00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:56,666 I was kind of confused because I couldn't tell if this was a vapor chamber or not, 144 00:10:56,666 --> 00:10:59,760 but it seems like that instead that they've integrated 145 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,230 a heat pipe kind of rate in here to cool the GPU 146 00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:08,567 and the VRMs. Jono, we forgot something. - [Jono] What? 147 00:11:08,567 --> 00:11:11,910 - We didn't do Crab Rave. - [Jono] oh, yeah. - Okay, well, 148 00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:17,105 we'll put it back together real quick for you guys. (upbeat music) 149 00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:23,410 Okay, I was really confused there because I thought that it was pretty good. 150 00:11:23,410 --> 00:11:27,070 And then suddenly got really bad 151 00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:30,480 when I turned up the volume, but it turns out that your hand position 152 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,730 on this thing actually makes quite a big difference. So I think that they have some speakers up here 153 00:11:35,730 --> 00:11:38,730 but there's also some rate down in here 154 00:11:38,730 --> 00:11:42,110 that they're bouncing off of the table. (upbeat music) 155 00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:43,433 This sounds pretty good. 156 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,080 Put your hands there, it sounds bad. 157 00:11:49,530 --> 00:11:54,440 Overall, I would say those speakers are quite good although it goes a little bit louder 158 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:00,640 than it probably should. At full volume, it's like a bit distorted, but once you take it down to 70%, 159 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,000 it still is plenty loud and sounds quite good. 160 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,400 A huge thanks to Aorus for sponsoring this video. 161 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Now I think this is what, 2,399? 162 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,490 Yeah, link down in below the description there for new link. 163 00:12:14,490 --> 00:12:18,200 That's what, half a 3080 if you're getting a desktop. 164 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,810 Not too bad. So yeah, I'm really excited to properly put this thing 165 00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:24,280 through its paces on LTT. Oh, shut up Crab Rave 166 00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:29,543 So yeah, hit like, get subscribed and just have a fantastical day, so long.
