Reviews for the Aorus X3 Plus

Aorus X3 Plus v3
Source: Hexus English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Having arrived on the scene with the eye-catching X7 back in January 2014, the Gigabyte subsidiary has been quick to follow up with the smaller X3 and the soon-to-be-released X5. Keeping up with the latest developments in PC graphics, Aorus has refreshed its 13.9in laptop with a GeForce GTX 970M GPU that delivers the best mobile gaming experience we've seen on a system of this size.

60% Aorus X3 Plus
Source: Digital Versus English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Despite an impressive spec sheet, the X3 Plus is a little disappointing: it needs a much better a cooling system, and it produces far too much noise. On top of that, although its general characteristics are pretty decent, the screen's impressive native resolution just isn't usable. Seems like they got a bit carried away...

80% Aorus X3 Plus review: gaming laptop offers good frame rates and super high-resolution screen
Source: Tech Advisor English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Aorus X3 Plus works well as a portable games station, providing fast framerates with modern games at high details settings. Its high-resolution screen is less obviously useful for its gaming role as fewer games may benefit from its high 262 ppi pixel density, and the Windows platform does not support absurdly high resolution displays well. When it does work you're rewarded with a pin-sharp image but remember that for gaming there's arguably little need to exceed 2560 or even 1920 screen pixel widths. Overall there's definite room for improvement by its maker but the X3 Plus should prove popular with Windows gamers looking to combine performance and portability.

100% Aorus X3 Plus review
Source: Expert Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Aorus X3 Plus is a technically brilliant laptop with a great screen and superb performance. It's one of the most desirable laptops we've seen in 2014. If you don't have the money to spend on the X3 Plus, you should look at the £899 Chillblast Defiant 2 Mini (Reviews, Shopper 320). It has good mid-range gaming performance and a relatively attractive chassis, and is much cheaper.

70% Gigabyte Aorus X3 Plus review – a beastly 13.9-inch gaming ultraportable
Source: Ultrabook Review English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
As far as the laptop goes, it’s certainly going back because of the Wifi issue and the gap in the lid. I will be hard pressed to replace it with another though unless I find something I really love about it. The keyboard flex and the lid flex(which causes the screen flicker) are reasons enough for me to stay away. This is a really expensive machine to have to treat it so delicately. On the positive side, the laptop is extremely lightweight and powerful – something no other laptop except the Razer Blade can claim. The Aorus X3+ is about $550 cheaper than the Razer blade with 512GB of storage, so maybe average build quality is something that could be tolerated in order to save some money.

80% Gigabyte Aorus X3 Plus review
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Small gaming laptops have been improving, and Gigabyte has made a step forward with the X3: it’s slimmer and lighter than anything else we’ve seen while including power levels that’ll match many larger notebooks. It doesn’t just impress with its benchmark scores. Its battery life is reasonable, and the screen has impressive quality – even if we’re not keen on its high resolution, which doesn’t work well when gaming or working. The keyboard is middling, but it’s no worse than many other laptops.

Having set the stage with the powerful X7 back in January this year, Aorus has now taken the opportunity to deliver a smaller alternative designed with portability in mind. Priced at £1,549, the 13.9in X3 Plus has been worth the wait and for the most part exceeds our expectations of a modern-day gaming laptop.

大体上,这个屏幕尺寸常见于亚笔记本电脑,超极本和变形本中。对这三类产品来说这个尺寸都较大。亚笔记本中尺寸最大的机型是采用这个屏幕尺寸。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
