Reviewer score 65%Gigabyte's Aorus 17G has a 240Hz 1080p display with 60 percent brightness (200 nits) Image quality on the webcam might suck, but Gigabyte has packed in an impressive display. The powerful RTX 2070 Super rarely if ever actually gets you the 240 frames per second that would take advantage of that 240Hz display.

Pros

- Excellent build quality

Cons
- Extremely hot
- Poor webcam placement
notebookcheck[2]
Reviewer score 63%The Aorus 17G takes first place in the PCMark 10 benchmark. Its lead over the competition ranges from 1 to 19%. Subjectively speaking, the overall user experience (boot-up times, loading times etc.) is on par with the rest of the competition. When using the default settings, the fans even spin in idle operation and are usually audible. At its native Full HD resolution, our review configuration can run any modern game on the highest settings smoothly.

Reviewer score 80%The Core i7-10875H is packed with 8 cores, 16 threads and can boost all the way up to 5.1GHz. It's mechanical, with some of the most comfy switches we've ever used in a laptop. While the bezels surrounding the display are thin, they don't leave any room for a webcam.
