<p>Gigabyte also has their Aorus line of gaming laptops, and they have a couple of updates here as well. The X7 line is one of the first notebooks available with NVIDIA&rsquo;s G-SYNC technology. The X7 Pro-SYNC is the 17.3&rdquo; model which features a 1080p IPS G-SYNC display, and is powered by the Haswell Core i7-4870HQ processor and dual GTX970M GPUs in SLI.</p>

<p>New to the lineup is the X5 model which is a 15.6&rdquo; gaming laptop with GTX 965M in SLI and the Core i7-5700HQ Broadwell processor. It is just 0.9&rdquo; thick (22.9mm) and weights 5.5 lbs, which is fairly thin and light considering it has two GPUs inside. It comes with 8 GB of DDR3L-1866 memory but has four slots and can handle up to 32 GB of RAM. The display is a 2880x1620 IPS and also support G-SYNC.</p>
