With the release of Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 10 series mobile cards, laptop manufacturers are revealing their updated systems, and Gigabyte is no exception. In addition to its main laptop line, Gigabyte’s subsidiary, Aorus, also received Pascal updates as well as 120 Hz displays and RGB-backlit keyboards.

Gaming-Centric And Ultraforce Series Updates

Very little separates Gigabyte’s P55 and P57 from its Ultraforce P35 and P37 counterparts. The biggest difference lies in the aesthetics, and Gigabyte’s Ultraforce systems are slightly lighter and a fair bit slimmer. This makes them ideal candidates for backpack VR systems, as they’re less cumbersome than their thicker, heavier counterparts. In particular, the updated P35X with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ and Nvidia GTX 1070 meets the criteria for a powerful system that’s easily strappable.

Aorus Lineup: 120Hz Displays And RGB-Backlit Keyboards

If you thought Gigabyte’s Ultraforce series was thin, then its Aorus line should astound you. It seems Gigabyte put its best foot forward on its Aorus line, with the X7 DT v6 receiving the Nvidia GTX 1080. Additionally, the X7 DT v6, X7 v6 and X5 v6 have the option for a 120 Hz display with a 5ms response time.

On the other hand, the smaller X3 Plus v6 boasts a QHD+ IGZO display outputting in 3200 x 1800, giving it the largest pixel density out of the four updated Aorus models. Finally, the new Pascal-equipped models have the option to include the Aorus RGB Fusion backlit keyboard, which features per-key backlighting.

The Aorus X7 DT v6, X7 v6 X5 v6 and X3 Plus v6 are available now starting at $2,699, $2,399 $2,399 and $1,999 respectively. Pricing for Gigabyte’s updated models is available on Gigabyte’s main website.
