Impressively slim and light ; Huge gaming power ; Innovative, fast storage ; Powerful Core i7 processor ; Great screen quality

Inconsistent build quality ; Hot, loud cooling hardware ; Screen resolution is too high ; Expensive

The speakers aren’t as loud as the booming Alienware, but quality is surprisingly good: the high-end is rich, and the mid-range and low-end are both meaty and deep. There’s perhaps a little too much of that low-end sound here, but we’d use these for...

Lightweight ; Impressive benchmarks ; Macro buttons ; Overclockable from the box ; Quiet

A little pricey ; Slightly thick ; Difficult to get hold of

loud and annoying fans ; runs hot ; CPU throttles under load ; draws too much power for PSU under load ; frustrating touchpad

The X3 Plus v7 is an ambitious device. It continues Aorus' push to fit powerful hardware into a compact case. Unfortunately, the X3 tries to have its cake and eat it too, and the end result is a notebook of compromise. While there are some definite...

Tough slimline chassis ; Impressive performance ; Great high-resolution screen ; Good connectivity and fast storage

compact and light; looks nice; good screen, keyboard and trackpad; powerful hardware configuration and solid performance in games; fair battery life; proper priced

inconsistent wi-fi performance, some design flaws (weak lid, keyboard flex, etc), poor speakers, some throttling under load

L'Aorus X3+ vient s'attaquer au Razer Blade 14 (introuvable en France) mais aussi au Dell Alienware 14. Cependant, il propose un équipement bien plus étoffé et "actuel" que le plus haut de gamme des engins de Dell. Et, nuisances sonores mises à part,...

erg goed ontwerp ; premium materialen ; hoge prestaties ; klein en lichtgewicht ; uitstekend beeldscherm ; geünlockte CPU en GPU

luide en hinderlijke ventilatoren ; wordt heet ; CPU throttled bij belasting ; bij belasting vraagt teveel vermogen van de adapter ; frustrerend touchpad
