PRESS RELEASE

Unmatched performance & unrivaled portability: 

IGZO QHD+ panel for image quality 

January 20th 2015 Taipei, TAIWAN - AORUS launched the latest version of its most powerful and lightest 13-inch gaming laptop in the world - the X3 v3. True to its mantra of ‘Exceed with Less', the X3 weighs in at 1.87kg, while less than an inch in height with a footprint of only 330mm, it's by far the lightest and most mobile gaming laptop with NVIDIA GTX 900M series graphics inside. 

Mounting a GTX 970M onto a 22.9mm slender chassis, AORUS once again demonstrates its pioneering advantage in squeezing monster-level graphic power into business-class dimension. With a full aluminum chassis and dynamic design the new X3 ensures optimum cooling and stability while pushing performance to the extreme. With an IGZO QHD+ display, the X3v3 delivers sharp colour accuracy and forgiving viewing angles along with gorgeous 3200x1800 resolution. The Aorus X3v3 offers undeniable features and performance almost unheard of in the category making it the perfect laptop choice for either gaming or general purposes.

Lean & Mean: P9000+ Raw Power in 1.87kg (4.12 lbs.)

  • Perfect for those who love to travel light, the Aorus X3 is the only machine capable of delivering a powerful performance in such a small form factor. Facilitated by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 6GB GDDR5 VRAM that scores more than P9000+ in 3D Mark 11, the X3 ensures smooth gaming at ultra-detail settings and lets you play all your games the way they were meant to be.
  • The latest version of NVIDIA innovations takes gaming experience to a whole new level. Battery Boost 2.0 lowers the frame rate so that you get a smooth experience while not compromising on battery life.
  • DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) means that the GPU renders the Game at 4K and then lowers it to the Resolution of your Screen, which can dramatically improve the looks.
  • MFAA delivers 4X MXAA quality at half the cost, achieving a splendid visual experience with much less process power.
  • A trio of 512GB mSATA SSDs in blazing-fast RAID Xpress pushes performance to the forefront.

  • With a built-in Mini DisplayPort, the Aorus X3 is capable of outputting to an external display for an ultra-high resolution up to 4K at 60Hz. The industry-leading 60 frames per second delivers smooth scenes free of blurring or tearing, promising every gaming moment with X3 is as engaging as it is meant to be.
