The screen looked like a stunner when we went hands-on with it. That’s because Aorus partnered with X-Rite Pantone to calibrate the 15.6-inch, 4K IPS display. On top of that, it supports G-Sync to prevent screen tearing during gameplay. Not to be outdone by the display, the keyboard is also super colorful. The RGB backlit keyboard can be customized on a key-by-key basis with Aorus’ Fusion software. MORE: The Best Gaming Laptops Nvidia’s Max-Q design standard prioritizes a thin chassis as well as efficiently cooling and powering the laptop to ensure that it stays quiet while gaming. While we didn’t get to play any games on it, it did have noticeably large vents on the back, so that shouldn’t be an issue. In fact, Aorus is promising 10 stages of fan control. The company hasn’t announced a price for the laptop, but we expect it to be quite pricey. Another Max-Q laptop, the Asus ROG Zephyrus, will start at $2,300.
