Its slim dimensions and reasonable weight given the extreme hardware inside means that it's actually a fairly portable unit. However, if we're honest, few if any gaming laptops are less than intrusive when gaming - if noise is that much of an issue, you may want to consider a mini-ITX PC instead.ĬonclusionThe Aorus X7 Pro Sync is arguably suffering from a mild case of form over function. The included software does allow you to set a number of fan modes, but anything other than the top-end gaming mode saw clock speeds knocked back to reduce the heat, rather than allow for higher temperatures. The fans spin up to a tremendous racket, although they are quick to ramp down. Under low loads the Aorus X7 Pro Sync is blissfully quiet, but under load it's quite simply one of the noisiest laptops we've ever heard. Gaming obviously hammers the battery, lasting just 49 minutes here, but it's mainly the idle and low-load tests that were a bit disappointing. ![]() Even at idle, you'll be lucky to see more than two and a half hours of battery life, although for light work you should get a little over two hours. Thanks to the addition of hyper-threading, the Aorus X7 Pro Sync was able to better modern Core i5 desktop CPUs in some tests too, even on occasions when they were overclocked.īattery life and noise are usually where these big beasts are let down and sadly, the Aorus X7 Pro Sync isn't stellar in either category. ![]() ![]() Elsewhere, the Broadwell quad-core saw consistantly better performance than the older Haswell equivalent, with the Core i7-5850HQ outpacing the slightly slower clocked Core i7-4720HQ in all our tests.
