Gigabyte Aorus 17H gaming laptop with Core i7-13700H, GeForce RTX 4080, and 360 Hz display

Gigabyte relaunches the Aorus 17 and gives the Aorus 17H gaming laptop a 360 Hz display with particularly narrow bezels, a modern Intel Raptor Lake Core i7-13700H processor with 14 cores, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 2022 laptop GPU with the highest possible TGP.

The Gigabyte Aorus 17H relies on a relatively simple design including a keyboard with RGB lighting, narrow screen edges, and a small bulge for the 720p webcam. The 3.0 centimeters thick, 2.7 kilograms heavy Aorus 17 inch laptop is equipped with a 17.3 inch, 360 Hz screen with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which can display 100 percent of the sRGB color space for brightness Gigabyte does not provide any information.

Above all, the Aorus 17H Gigabyte laptop RTX 4080 should convince with first-class performance. Gigabyte has installed an Intel Core i7-13700H, which combines six performance cores with clock frequencies of up to 5.0 GHz with eight efficiency cores. There is also an Nvidia RTX4080 laptop GPU with 12 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory, which can be operated with the maximum possible TGP of 150 watts. Gigabyte specifies boost clock frequencies of 2,010 MHz – the maximum possible 2,280 MHz is not reached, presumably because Gigabyte does not offer Dynamic Boost.

Gigabyte installs 16 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD as standard, with the laptop having a second M.2 slot for expanding the memory. The Gigabyte Aorus 17H gaming laptop has two USB-A ports, one USB-C with support for Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, Mini-DisplayPort 1.4, and a 2.5 Gbit/s Ethernet connection. The battery has a capacity of 99 Wh, but the runtime should still be quite short considering the equipment.
