Gigabyte’s Aorus X9 was first demonstrated as a concept product at CES in January. Now at Computex, this incredible machine looks set to make it into production and hit store shelves before the end of the year.

GIGABYTE's AORUS X9 gaming laptop is unique because it not only has an overclockable 7th generation processor, support for multiple M.2 drives, a brilliant Pantone certified 17.3" display, but it also comes with two GTX 1070 8GB cards in SLI. Yes, SLI on a gaming laptop, and on a gaming laptop that is quite thin (0.9-1.2 inches). At 30mm tall, it's one of the thinnest gaming notebooks with an overclockable CPU and two GTX 1070 8GB under the hood. Of course, the notebook also comes with a lot of other extras, such as a mechanical keyboard with RGB LEDs, custom designed trim, and flare, as well as a redesigned cooling system.

The Aorus X9 is the direct replacement of Gigabyte’s last SLI Aorus, the X7. We checked out the Aorus X7 Pro v5 almost exactly a year ago, but its SLI’d GTX 970M graphics silicon, and slimline chassis, meant it was a frustratingly noisey, powerful notebook. We were hoping then the new Pascal GPUs would offer some respite in future iterations.

That future is here with the X9, sporting a pair of Pascal-based GTX 1070 cards, and the sort of gaming performance pretty much any desktop machine would weep silicon tears to have. It’s also sporting a Core i7 7820HK CPU, but don’t confuse that with the eight-core desktop Core i7 7820X chip (why would you?), this is just a straight quad-core, eight-thread standard Kaby Lake mobile chip.
