It is not a glitch that you are seeing on Amazon because the GIGABYTE AORUS 17H sporting a max-powered RTX 4080 GPU is going for just $1,599.99. There are RTX 4070 gaming laptops that are priced higher than this, so that is when you know that you are in for the deal of the year as far as this category goes. Remember that we never saw this major price drop during Black Friday or Cyber Monday, making it all the more special. The AORUS 17H sports a 17.3-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS LCD panel with a 360Hz refresh rate.
For a gaming laptop that features a 12GB RTX 4080 GPU running up to 175W, the display is about the only thing that does not do the gaming laptop justice. Sure, you will comfortably be able to crank up those visual settings while immersed in higher framerates, but we believe that the sweet spot for the AORUS 17H would have been a 1440p panel with a refresh rate of 240Hz or even 165Hz. Then again, with such a low price, we can forgive a few compromises made by GIGABYTE.
Supplementing the GPU is a 14-core Intel Core i7-13700H, along with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD. As you would have guessed, the internal space of this gaming laptop is plentiful to allow for the storage and RAM to be upgraded. GIGABYTE took advantage of the 17.3-inch footprint to also cram in a 99.9WHr battery, as that is the absolute legal limit. Away from the wall, you can expect to get a few hours when running on low power mode, though if the AORUS 17H featured an AMD CPU, that runtime would have been a lot higher.
The aesthetics give off that ‘gamer vibe’ but it is still built incredibly well while using a mixture of plastic and metal. For $1,599.99, we are confident that this RTX 4080 gaming laptop will have a ton of eyeballs on it, and you obviously do not want it to run out of stock. Our recommendation is to pick it up as soon as possible, even if you have a few minutes left on your watch because these kind of deals are like finding a needle in a haystack.
