The company that made AORUS 15 took a very conservative approach to how it looked. At the same time, one look will be enough to tell that we’re looking at a game model. On the one hand, it has a black case that is bigger than ultrabooks or regular “office machines” and doesn’t have a lot of “aggressive” decorations. On the other hand, the segment of the model is clear from the RGB backlight of the keyboard and the design of the air vents in the back.
The body is made of plastic, but it is well put together. There are no “childish” problems like there were with old gaming laptops that literally broke in your hands. When you apply force, you can slightly move the topcase or bend the display unit, but the chassis holds up well when it’s not being used. The work surfaces won’t make you feel like you’re using something “premium,” but it’s nice that the matte surface doesn’t show handprints as much and can be easily wiped clean if you need to.

Where to get AORUS 15 XE4?
The AORUS 15 XE4 comes with a tool called the GIGABYTE Control Center already installed. It lets you control and manage the most important parts of the notebook, so it can work at its best based on how you want to use it. For example, it has a feature called “AI Boost” that, based on the apps you use, can intelligently set the order of jobs on the system so that they can be done faster.
The AORUS 15 XE4 is easier to use for work because it has a higher 2560 x 1440 display panel instead of a standard 1080p display. Because of the higher resolution, I can now fit more content and information on the screen, which lets me do more work. Images on the screen look better and sharper because there are more pixels. Its refresh rate of 165Hz also makes it great for games or anything else, as the notebook ran smoothly and seemed to respond quickly.
