Question 1

Hey, how fast were you able to boot this up out of the box?  I ask because i have spent hours tuning up new machines after I first get them. also how well is it playing your games? which ones and on what settings?

Accepted Answer

First time I turned on the unit it took around 15-20 seconds, ever since the first time I turned it on, its only taken roughly 7 seconds. I've only just started really using my laptop, but as far as I can tell it plays games very well.

I've tried:
Dota 2 (not the most graphic demanding game) - Runs very smooth. I managed to get 100+ FPS

Company of Heroes - Ultra - Found average FPS around 60

Metro Last Light - Ultra - Not sure of the FPS, but it ran smooth for the 30 minutes that I got to play

Cheers

Question 2

When I looked at the official website, they claimed to have windows 7 pro packed on the laptop.

Is there an option for me to choose on this website once it is available?

Accepted Answer

Since this thing has been back-ordered / out of stock since I ordered it (12 March) I can't really provide any assistance.

It was funny that NewEgg asked me to answer this question tho, especially since they should know they haven't actually shipped me anything...

Question 3

How can i get one with w7 systerm?

Accepted Answer

i believe that currently the Laptop is selling as is. You are unable to change anything on it. I would just be prepared to put windows 7 on it yourself. it does come with a very useful control panel from aorus. That is the only software i see from them on the laptop. so that would be your only issue i would see when switching.

Question 5

What is the battery life on this?

Accepted Answer

I'm not a hardcore gamer, just now and then.  With average game time, surfing and social networking... Pretty much get about 2 and 1/2 hours in between charges.  You can probably get more than that if you disable the SLI, but that's one of the main reasons I bought it.

Question 6

In order to use 3 monitors do you have to disable SLI?

Accepted Answer

No you can have SLI enabled with 3 monitors, but the 3 monitors have to have the same resolution, refresh rate (which both of those are easy), and the same polarity (which is the pain).

You can figure out the polarity of the monitors by plugging them in and using the nvidia tool to get at the resolution settings.  I think the advanced or custom resolution or something allows you to see the native polarity of each monitor.  Don't bother changing the polarity of the monitors to match I found it usually just jacks up the monitor and you still can't get them all to sli together..

Question 7

I can't find it listed anywhere...is the display 120hz as well?

Accepted Answer

Its a 60Hz TN Panel

Question 8

No backlit keyboard? If so, I think I just found the archilles heel. 
No optical drive?

Accepted Answer

According to the video on this page and every other video review I've seen of this computer, it does have a backlit keyboard, but no optical drive which is common in thin computers like this.

Question 9

I was just looking into the GS70 in the next week or two, if someone could post a review and/or give specifics on how the laptop's cooling is and how the touchpad performs in comparison -that would be greatly appreciated.?

Accepted Answer

Google HTWINGUT Aorus X7 Review.  You will see it at the top of the search results.  He does an awesome job reviewing this laptop for what it is.

I hope this helps in your decision.

Question 10

I have this laptop already but am having an issue. Can anyone confirm they can get their display port to output video? I dont have access to an actual display port monitor, but I've tried just about every adapter I can find (to hdmi, dvi, etc) with absolutely no luck.
If your display port is working, what are you using?
Thanks.

Accepted Answer

First off yes it works for me.
I had to up date my graphic driver from nvidia website first or you can use the drive updater it comes with. 
Then make sure you use the FN+F10 or display setting to accesses the other monitor or screen.
Worked on my tv, second monitor and a projector.
