This latest laptop is a little more expensive than some of its predecessors, but enhances performance with a hybrid disk/flashstorage drive and – unusually for an Ultrabook – it has a dedicated nVidia GPU. The brushed-metal aluminium design of previous models has been changed – probably to fend off the frequent comparisons with Apple’s MacBook Air – and the screen is now backed by the same distinctive white panel as Acer’s more expensive S7 range....

Aorus, a sub-brand of Gigabyte, isn’t the first laptop maker to try this trick on a gaming notebook, of course. What is remarkable is how it’s done so in a relatively thin chassis. The Aorus X7 v2 is just under 25mm thick, which in laptop gaming circles makes it practically a MacBook Air. It’s no lightweight though, thanks to an all-aluminium metal body and a big 17in display. Ignore Aorus’s claim of 3kg weight – this 425mm-wide beast weighs 3....
The black aluminium body is highlighted with red, from the backlit keyboard and crimson letters to the glowing logo and buttons. The Asus looks better than uninspired, plastic rivals, and build quality impresses: the base and wrist-rest barely budged, and the screen’s slight movement didn’t translate to desktop distortion.
