That’s not all as it also has a host of other top-shelf features under the hood. Here are 6 absolutely fantastic reasons why the value-packed GIGABYTE AORUS 15P laptop is fantastic for gaming and WFH alike

#1 Powerful specifications – NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 mobile graphics & 11th Gen Intel Core i7 H-series processor

To tackle even the most demanding games in the market today, the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P packs the best hardware currently available in the form of the latest NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 graphics card with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM as well as the new 11th Gen Intel Core 17-11800H processor. These additions to NVIDIA’s graphics card portfolio for 2021 are powerful and effective, embodying their current tagline ‘The Ultimate Play’ in more ways than one.

The latest addition to NVIDIA’s RTX™ 30 series graphics cards, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080, is built on their new Ampere architecture on an 8nm process.

Featuring 6,144 CUDA cores, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 graphics card integrated into the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P has a 1,545MHz boost clock and a maximum graphics power of 130W. Paired with GIGABYTE’s Infinity Advanced cooling solution, this allows the Geforce RTX™ 3080 equipped laptop to perform at its full potential.

The NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 graphics card also features a plethora of NVIDIA’s latest technologies including PCIe Resizable Bar technology that allows the CPU to access the GeForce RTX™ 3080’s 8GB VRAM for extra pixel crunching power in a pinch. Added to this is NVIDIA’s Dynamic Boost 2.0 tech that intelligently optimises power between the CPU and GPU for best performance.

Long story short, this high-powered combination of technologies in the GeForce RTX™ 3080 laptop enables it to offer superior 4K gaming experiences that include real time ray-tracing (RT) and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to create breathtakingly realistic lighting effects with the latest games. 

Complementing the GeForce RTX™ 3080 laptop is the latest 11th Gen Intel Core 17-11800H processor. Packing eight Willow Cove processor cores and 16 threads via HyperThreading, the Core i7-11800H processor features a 2.3GHz base clock speed and is capable of boosting up to 4.6GHz, allowing it to tackle demanding tasks.

#2 Ultra Cool WINDFORCE Infinity Cooling System for sustained high performance for work and play

This powerful combination of a top of the line graphics card and processor make the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P a gaming laptop to be reckoned with indeed but all this power also needs to be kept cool as a cucumber, which is where GIGABYTE’s innovative WINDFORCE Infinity Cooling system comes into the picture.

Consisting of a pair of 12V, 83-blade fans along with two dedicated heat pipes for the GeForce RTX™ 3080 laptop, one solely for the Intel i7-11800H processor along with two additional heat pipes for a total of five, the WINDFORCE Infinity Cooling system is able to vent heat from these critical components in order to ensure sustained high performance over extended periods of time.

With 37% more airflow than its predecessor, the WINDFORCE Infinity Cooling system enables the high-powered AORUS 15P to perform at its fullest potential.

Much like a sports car, the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P is a finely tuned blend of high performance components working in perfect harmony. To ensure that every aspect of the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P is working at optimum performance, it features the unique Microsoft Azure AI.

Created in collaboration with Microsoft, Azure AI relies on a proprietary machine learning algorithm that can intelligently monitor and adapt your CPU and GPU wattage as well as fan settings for whatever application you use without having to manually alter settings every time you need to do so.

All this happens in the background on the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P when you’re gaming or performing any other tasks so that all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the show.

#4 Stylishly Sleek Sports Car Styling meets Ergonomic Design 

Inspired by the power and sleek design of a modern sports car, the GIGABYTE AORUS 15P features strategically placed grilles that evoke the aggressive front grillwork and air intakes of sports cars at strategic points blended with a forward-moving silhouette that evokes speed and performance. 

Complementing this striking silhouette are ergonomically placed ports located on both sides  of the AORUS 15P within easy reach to ensure excellent connectivity to peripherals and up to 3 external displays. All these thoughtful details frame the centerpiece of the AORUS 15P’s sleek design – a 15.6-inch display with breathtakingly slim bezels that are just 3mm thin.

#5 Gorgeous, colour accurate display

The aforementioned 3mm slim bezels in the AORUS 15P not only offer more screen real estate, they allow this slim gaming laptop to cram the equivalent of a 15.6-inch gaming notebook in a 14-inch form factor.

Offering an 89% screen-to-body ratio, the full 15.6-inch Full HD IPS anti-glare display on the AORUS 15P has up to 300Hz refresh rate and 72% NTSC colour gamut, ensuring accurate colour reproduction and silky smooth animations on-screen.
