Gigabyte unveiled three new additions to its gaming-centric AORUS laptop branch. The latest versions of the AORUS X5 and X7 series gaming laptops come with exciting hardware and feature updates.
AORUS X5 v5
AORUS X5S V5
The AORUS X5S V5 is the single GPU variant to the X5 v5. It sacrifices the dual GTX 965M GPU for a single, albeit more powerful GTX 980M GPU. This change offers improved battery life compared to the more power hungry yet faster X5 v5. Depending on how you look at it, it can be an advantage or a compromise. Other specifications stay the same. The user can still add up to 64GB of RAM and configure the size of the M.2 PCIe SSD.
