Pros and Cons

AORUS 17H

Strengths

The combination of Intel's Core i7 13700H and the RTX 4080 laptop GPU is an incredibly well-balanced tandem.
The energy needs to perform at high-end levels are clearly being met, with combined powers of up to 195 watts capable for the cooling system.
Battery life from the 99 watt hour unit is impressive.
Build quality is good with ample sturdiness from the keyboard and trackpad.
The screen has a 360Hz refresh rate, making for smooth gaming and lesser demanding titles.
The AORUS cooling solution is clearly very competent in delivering over 170 watts of combined power.

Weaknesses

Having such high-end power hungry hardware on tap requires Cooling, which makes the laptop thick (3cm) and heavy (2.7kg).
The noise output when running heavy workloads is borderline unpleasant for those around you.
The primary Hardware pairing has downsides, with power consumption being one of them.
The laptop's design targets may not be ideal for everyone, particularly in terms of weight and thickness.
The RAM speed could be improved, especially considering the price point of £2249.
The 1080p resolution on a 17-inch display might feel a bit too slim in terms of pixel density.
