The Aorus X3 Plus works well as a portable games station, providing fast framerates with modern games at high details settings. Its high-resolution screen is less obviously useful for its gaming role as fewer games may benefit from its high 262 ppi pixel density, and the Windows platform does not support absurdly high resolution displays well. When it does work you're rewarded with a pin-sharp image but remember that for gaming there's arguably little need to exceed 2560 or even 1920 screen pixel widths.

If you're a PC gamer, chances are you have a big, bulky tower and a large-screen LCD monitor alongside it. If you're not lucky enough to have the space for such a large gaming rig, though, not all hope is lost. Some gaming laptops have the grunt to play...

Malgré une fiche technique impressionnante, le X3 Plus déçoit par son manque de maîtrise, qui se traduit par une très mauvaise gestion de la chaleur et du bruit. Même constat pour la dalle qui n'est pas exploitable dans sa définition native malgré des...
