Hello people, I have a beast of a thin and light gaming laptop for sale. This thing can handle all triple AAA games well on full HD on max settings and most other professional workloads like video editing, computer programing, and CAD stuff.

It comes with a very special CPU the Intel i7 8850H which you cant find in lots of laptops and a full-blown desktop grade nVidia GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5 memory, this is not a Max-Q version. It also has a Pantone certified display at 144Hz IPS with G-Sync. Plus it has the ability to have 3 hard drives (2 x M.2 NVMe slots + 1 x 2.5inch Hard Drive). It also has I/O slots for days including the magical Thunderbolt 3 Port and even a really fast full-size SD card reader.

Age: 9 Months
Price: SOLD
Warranty: Remainder of 2 years international warranty (Bought from Rebeltech, official Gigabyte repair partner is Rectron SA)
Packaging: All original box and manuals included as if new + Aorus Gaming Backpack.
Condition: Basically in brand new condition, no visible scratches anywhere.

Price drop to 33K (R33000 rands) and I will sweeten the deal even more by including another 512 NVME SSD which would then bring this machine up to 2 TB of storage.
2 x 512GB SSD drives + 1TB HDD = 2TB storage in this machine, you could always swap out for more if you wish ;)

Did I forget to mention that it has a full RGB keyboard, individually controlled keys and even dedicated programmable macro keys on the side!
O and even a num pad for the number crunchers.

Here is a picture of this machine's internals (The one to the left). Check out all those heatpipes, it can control its temperature pretty well and has built-in fan control software.
Also, this laptop is extremely easy to access the RAM memory modules and the Hard Drives for any upgrades you might want to do in the future as opposed to my new laptop on the right which has its RAM modules on the other side of the motherboard.
 
P.s. free bump.
Just sold my aorus x5v6 gents... and let me tell you, these machines are amazing!
Quality build.
Super keyboard.
Top screen.

R31 000 with the extra 512gb SSD


Still comes with 512gb NVME SSD standard and a 1TB HDD
 
Swap for Lenovo C930. I7 model. 10 days old

Bump still available.

Can you compute? Check out all those logical CPU processors on this thing. It also has the ability to overclock to 4+GHZ out of the box with its Aorus command center software. GPU can even be overclocked if seek more performance.

Check those bumps, laptop is still available.
Only 2.5Kg of pure power and sturdy aluminum design.

Price Drop R28000

It's a great powerful laptop with lots of memory upgrade options and ports for days. The SD card reader is also super fast and this is great for content editors.
 
Friendly bump.

From all the laptops I see on sale here, this is probably still the most powerful laptop on sale here for now.
Still in very good condition with no scratches, just like new and come with Windows 10 Pro that is ready to be set up as if new.
 
No need for body parts yet ;) not old enough for that.
Laptop is still available for sale.
 
Here is quite a comprehensive review of this beast which is still available. Serious offers only, please.
 
Ok, what hdd's are now in for the R26k?

Dropping the price to R25K.
It comes with the standard 512GB NVME SSD + 1 TB HDD.
It has a free M.2 slot available if you wish to put more storage in it.

This beast is just resting in its original box waiting for a new owner to take it out for a spin.
Does nobody want a portal Thin and Light platform for Work and Play?
This thing is also not like your average laptop, it has the fastest 8th gen Intel i7 CPU, IO ports for days including Thunderbolt 3, fully customizable RGB keyboard, full performance 1070GTX, super fast SD card reader and 144Hz G-Sync display screen.
