    AORUS is a premium sub-brand of Gigabyte. The brand is gaming-focused, producing notebooks as well as gaming peripherals including keyboards, mice, and headsets. Our AORUS X5S v5 review unit, model X5S v5-SLCM, is a limited edition featuring MultiCam camouflage. For $2,599, it offers a 15.6-inch 4K display, Intel Core i7-6700HQ quad-core processor, Nvidia GTX 980M 8GB graphics, 32GB of RAM, a 512GB PCI-e SSD, and a secondary 1TB hard drive. It weighs just 5.51 pounds and is only 0.90 inches thin, which is almost unheard of given its powerful components. We admired its design, quality, and overall level of performance, but it’s not without flaws. The chassis gets blistering hot while gaming, and the fans make a lot of noise. Still we found this machine worthy of consideration, especially if you're interested in owning an exclusive product. Read this AORUS X5S v5 review to find out why.
