There is a 1440p option, Full HD or Fhd is 1080p and Qhp is 1440p. But it's a 500-1000$ difference depending where you are. I do believe the 1440 version is a 3070ti as well. But exact same specs except the screen and gpu. I think they went 3070ti for the 1440 so you don't drop under 60fps in games to keep this competitive for years to come.

[@paulyC]

The 'trim-level' above this is the Aorus 5 XE4. It has the 3070Ti, but is only 1080p. The model above the 5 is the Aorus 15 XE4 which has the 3070Ti and is 1440p.

@Paul Citti this laptop runs hot. Playing cod cold war on low settings has the cpu seeing 94-104°C pretty fast and steady. But somehow the gpu stays under 80. I find it bothersome a laptop with a dedicated gpu is cpu bound in games.

It's good, but expensive. You can get a lenovo with R7 5800h/3060 laptop for a few hundred less or one from MSI with 10500h/3060 for a bit over half the price! Yes they're weaker, but i feel like there's quite a lot of competition on mid range gaming laptop space, and price to performance isn't quite there for this laptop. Alder lake is the selling point here and i'm not sure the 14 cores are meant for gaming purposes.

[@heathjake25]

To be honest, I bought this in mind for gaming. I got it at like $1,050 so it was a better deal for me than the other computers from better brands.

That Cinebench score seems a bit low for that CPU. Do you know what wattage they have the CPU at? My MSI GP66 with same CPU with under-volt gets almost 17K. Also running the fans @ max during benchmarks is the way to go for max performance.

[@dinorangel2476]

I got this laptop and i am loving it. However when playing games on ultra settings the battery starts dropping even when plugged in. Did you experience this issue during your time testing? Many users seem to have this issue. I suspect the 230w charger supplied is underpowered for this laptop.

[@ahmadafzal1918]

This is a recurrent issue since the power brick is not strong enough to support the power the laptop needs But how much wud you say the battery drop is like is it really fast or just 2-5 percent over hours on gaming. How is the overall experience

[@dinorangel2476]

@@ahmadafzal1918 Depends on the games. Triple AAA titles on high and ultra settings cause a drop of around 15% per hour. This is acceptable to me as i don't game for hours together. Also i undervolted my GPU and now it's around 10% per hour after intensive gaming . But i noticed that the charging brick does not supply power at Max . Charging brick becomes very hot and maybe that's causing it to supply low wattage to prevent damage. I don't know what's causing the issue. But the laptop is amazing and performs well.

Returned the laptop this morning l and now I got a Legion 5 7th gen (non-pro) with 6800H and 3070ti. Better materials - really solid construction, temperatures, performance, fans noise, keyboard and most important - battery! The Aorus struggles to reach 4 hours of normal use and the Legion reached 4 hours still with 49% of battery remaining today, almost incredible for me. There are two points that I must say Aorus is better - processor and screen, and for me, it doesn't justify the purchase over Legion.

I'm coming from a desktop with a 3070ti and I can tell you that maxed out settings on 1440p barely breaks 144fps on a lot of new titles. A 3070 is perfect for future titles with maxed settings at 1080p. If you're dead-set on 1440p display, get a Legion 5, but I'd suggest sticking with 1080p with a 3070. 3080 is really the necessary jump to be able to max out settings on demanding games for the next few years at 1440p.
