WEBVTT 00:00:00.398 --> 00:00:03.670 - Oh, we have got a sick laptop right here. 00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:07.300 And I can tell you that for sure, because this thing is from Aorus 00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:10.330 and they sponsored this video and if it sucks, 00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:13.760 I get to have an awkward conversation with them and you don't see this video. 00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:18.280 So here we go. Oh, let's just get straight into it here. 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. 00:00:26.020 --> 00:00:30.070 Just wait a second. First of all, we could see just how much power 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 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 00:00:39.290 --> 00:00:43.650 and also an 11th gen Intel processor. So yeah, she's fast. 00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:47.710 It looks like they also included a thermal pad. 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 00:00:52.350 --> 00:00:55.440 because why else would they include this? 00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:56.740 That's pretty cool though. 00:00:58.810 --> 00:01:01.283 And here we go. 00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:11.560 Very simple. I find sometimes Aorus can kind of get a bit 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.830 too spaceshipy with their designs. 00:01:14.830 --> 00:01:19.240 This one right here. I think they nailed it kind of going between 00:01:19.240 --> 00:01:24.150 gigabytes arrow lineup, where it's pure class 00:01:24.150 --> 00:01:28.820 and race car, Ferrari spaceship. 00:01:28.820 --> 00:01:35.430 This is a good middle ground. For IO we've got full-sized HDMI DisplayPort 00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:39.790 or mini DisplayPort, full-sized USB type A, 00:01:39.790 --> 00:01:44.993 Ethernet, headphone, microphone. And on the other side we get, let's see here. 00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:50.330 It says it has Thunderbolt. Okay, double-check that. Thunderbolt four here. 00:01:50.330 --> 00:01:54.520 Doesn't have the little note Thunderbolt on it but we're all good there. 00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:59.450 Full-sized SD card reader. I really like this, for most people it doesn't matter, 00:01:59.450 --> 00:02:03.730 but if you ever use a real camera, these are awesome. 00:02:03.730 --> 00:02:05.030 And two more type A ports. 00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:14.929 This keyboard cover that they have feels very good. 00:02:14.929 --> 00:02:19.620 I'm guessing you could probably use it afterwards to clean your display and stuff. 00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.960 I always feel weird commenting on things 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:28.010 like chassis rigidity and sponsored videos but this is exceptional. 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 00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:38.930 but the overall rigidity is very high. 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 00:02:47.470 --> 00:02:51.620 but the overall feel of it is very good. 00:02:51.620 --> 00:02:53.286 How heavy is it? Let's find out. 00:02:54.810 --> 00:02:59.900 Not from the spec sheet, from an actual scale because sometimes spec sheets lie. 00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:07.200 4.8 pounds, okay. Which is 2.2 kilograms for civilized people. 00:03:09.070 --> 00:03:12.720 Yeah, that might not be the lightest laptop I've ever used 00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:15.890 but for something with 3080, that's damn impressive. 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. 00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:27.490 Your displays, they've been so floppy for so long. 00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:29.893 I've been complaining about this since 2017. 00:03:30.790 --> 00:03:32.593 Wow, that's a lot of RGB. 00:03:33.910 --> 00:03:40.340 You can definitely tone it down but the default state is just pure unicorn vomit. 00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:46.200 Oh my God. I need to turn that down to tell you how good it is. 00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:49.730 Oh, wait, what? I didn't do anything, but it turned to white 00:03:49.730 --> 00:03:53.190 and now it's much more chill. 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, 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 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 00:04:12.010 --> 00:04:16.674 at university and not feel like an idiot. What color do you guys want? 00:04:16.674 --> 00:04:20.499 - [Jono] Give me purple. - Purple? - [Emily] Purple for ShortCircuit 00:04:20.499 --> 00:04:22.253 - All right, purple. There we go. 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 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. 00:04:36.090 --> 00:04:42.730 And it actually kind of works. Basically, all it does is it selects a device profile 00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:46.150 based off of the game or application 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. 00:04:50.900 --> 00:04:54.340 Wonder how loud it is. Turbo mode, can I just put the Phantom Aux? 00:04:56.422 --> 00:05:00.740 Oh wow, that's pretty good. It's not whiny. 00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:05.030 A lot of laptops, especially ones with this much power 00:05:05.030 --> 00:05:09.060 can be very much like (screams) 00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:14.370 whereas this one right here is more, it's more of a woosh, I like it. 00:05:14.370 --> 00:05:17.640 Gigabyte was able to pull that quietness off apparently 00:05:17.640 --> 00:05:21.970 by using two 71 blade fans and five heat pipes. 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. 00:05:26.510 --> 00:05:30.310 Now under the specs this is maybe the most interesting part of this laptop. 00:05:30.310 --> 00:05:33.670 So in here we have an i7-11800H. 00:05:33.670 --> 00:05:36.830 And is it good? I don't know. 00:05:36.830 --> 00:05:41.660 We'll find out pretty soon. Aside from the CPU, we got 16 gigabytes of RAM, 00:05:41.660 --> 00:05:45.030 3,200 megahertz, that's actually pretty good for a laptop. 00:05:45.030 --> 00:05:48.290 One terabyte SSD, Intel Wi-Fi 6. 00:05:48.290 --> 00:05:52.930 They said, put the logo on the screen while I mentioned that, editor do that, please. 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. 00:05:56.700 --> 00:06:01.350 I'm glad to see it on here. And finally, we get an RTX 3080. 00:06:01.350 --> 00:06:06.950 This right here is 130 watt version. So not the most wattage that we've seen 00:06:06.950 --> 00:06:10.400 but at the same time, that's a lot of power. 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:14.780 We also have the eight Gigabyte version here. Apparently there's an 16 Gigabyte one. 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. 00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:24.570 Okay, okay. This keyboard seems quite good actually. 00:06:24.570 --> 00:06:29.510 I'm not surprised Aorus, well Gigabyte, but Aorus was kind of the first one 00:06:29.510 --> 00:06:33.600 to start putting really good keyboards in their gaming laptops. 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:37.040 The Aorus 15 was kind of the first slim gaming laptop 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:40.680 that had things like a good keyboard and a track pad 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.960 that also doesn't suck. This one right here is pretty good. 00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:48.190 I wished that it was a little bit bigger but it is glass topped. 00:06:48.190 --> 00:06:53.003 The tracking's really good. And you're not going to have any problems with it. 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, 00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:03.510 but I like it as a game. So too bad. (chuckles) 00:07:03.510 --> 00:07:06.690 Editor, please don't sign into my Steam account. 00:07:06.690 --> 00:07:10.810 Okay, let's see here. I kind of built a castle 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 00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:21.870 and ever since I built this big old castle here, it's struggled hard. 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, 00:07:30.270 --> 00:07:34.460 we're looking at rate around 18 FPS. 00:07:34.460 --> 00:07:39.460 Right now, I am getting 30 which might not sound too good. 00:07:39.650 --> 00:07:43.923 But in this situation, in this game is very impressive. 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. 00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:52.363 Now we'll hop into good old do maternal. 00:07:54.190 --> 00:07:57.320 This is where we get to show off the display. See what we've got here. 00:07:57.320 --> 00:08:02.320 240 Hertz as well as full SRGB coverage. 00:08:02.790 --> 00:08:05.413 Okay, we're in doom here. 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. 00:08:12.523 --> 00:08:16.160 That's a little bit better. I adjusted some of the settings, resolution. 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.540 Everything was wrong. We're looking now at, 00:08:19.540 --> 00:08:23.230 it's going between 160 and 180 FPS. 00:08:23.230 --> 00:08:26.433 That's about what I would expect for a laptop like this. 00:08:27.270 --> 00:08:31.050 Oh, this is such a hard game to talk and play at the same time. 00:08:31.940 --> 00:08:36.430 What was I talking about? Oh, damn. GPU is currently at 65 degrees. 00:08:36.430 --> 00:08:41.670 That's after a little bit of gaming. That is really good. 00:08:41.670 --> 00:08:46.480 What I am intrigued about though is this processor. 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.360 Now, Intel will absolutely hate that I'm doing this, 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:54.420 but at the same time you kind of just gotta, 00:08:54.420 --> 00:08:59.073 I wanna run cinebench and see what happens. Now for an eight core laptop, 00:08:59.950 --> 00:09:04.950 4,000 is a score that I would accept if it hits 5,000 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.520 that's like, whoa, wow. 4626, all right. 00:09:10.520 --> 00:09:14.060 So that lands us good bit above last gen. 00:09:14.060 --> 00:09:15.633 That is very promising. 00:09:17.170 --> 00:09:21.700 I'm sorry Intel that I did that, but good job. 00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:24.850 Oh, it has a webcam. There's a little webcam down here. 00:09:26.451 --> 00:09:30.060 They have these super small bezels around the whole thing. 00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:32.263 That's nice, webcam down here. 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.640 It's not great, but at least they have one. 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. 00:09:41.371 --> 00:09:44.733 I still look kind of weird but at the same time. 00:09:45.730 --> 00:09:49.690 You at least get a webcam for somehow that's a plus. 00:09:49.690 --> 00:09:53.350 And with that, I really want to see how this thing is cool 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. 00:10:00.909 --> 00:10:04.360 Now first thing, 99 watt hour battery, awesome. 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.000 So Aorus says that it'll get you eight hours 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:12.690 but I have done no battery testing on 11th gen Intel processors 00:10:12.690 --> 00:10:17.630 but eight hours does check out. And also in here you get two SSD slots. 00:10:17.630 --> 00:10:21.630 So this right here is the one that's empty. This one already is full. 00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:24.583 It also has two sodium slots that are easily accessible. 00:10:25.990 --> 00:10:29.930 There you go. Now you have your RAM. You can upgrade it just like that. 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 00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:41.200 more heat pipes going to smaller heat sinks. 00:10:41.630 --> 00:10:45.920 Whereas here they've gone and given you much bigger heat sinks 00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:49.610 apparently they're all copper and also these nice big fans 00:10:49.610 --> 00:10:52.610 with 71 fins on each one of them. 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, 00:10:56.666 --> 00:10:59.760 but it seems like that instead that they've integrated 00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:04.230 a heat pipe kind of rate in here to cool the GPU 00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:08.567 and the VRMs. Jono, we forgot something. - [Jono] What? 00:11:08.567 --> 00:11:11.910 - We didn't do Crab Rave. - [Jono] oh, yeah. - Okay, well, 00:11:11.910 --> 00:11:17.105 we'll put it back together real quick for you guys. (upbeat music) 00:11:18.380 --> 00:11:23.410 Okay, I was really confused there because I thought that it was pretty good. 00:11:23.410 --> 00:11:27.070 And then suddenly got really bad 00:11:27.070 --> 00:11:30.480 when I turned up the volume, but it turns out that your hand position 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 00:11:35.730 --> 00:11:38.730 but there's also some rate down in here 00:11:38.730 --> 00:11:42.110 that they're bouncing off of the table. (upbeat music) 00:11:42.110 --> 00:11:43.433 This sounds pretty good. 00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:47.080 Put your hands there, it sounds bad. 00:11:49.530 --> 00:11:54.440 Overall, I would say those speakers are quite good although it goes a little bit louder 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%, 00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:04.000 it still is plenty loud and sounds quite good. 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.400 A huge thanks to Aorus for sponsoring this video. 00:12:07.400 --> 00:12:10.520 Now I think this is what, 2,399? 00:12:10.520 --> 00:12:14.490 Yeah, link down in below the description there for new link. 00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:18.200 That's what, half a 3080 if you're getting a desktop. 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.810 Not too bad. So yeah, I'm really excited to properly put this thing 00:12:21.810 --> 00:12:24.280 through its paces on LTT. Oh, shut up Crab Rave 00:12:25.340 --> 00:12:29.543 So yeah, hit like, get subscribed and just have a fantastical day, so long.
