Options for gaming laptops with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 are now available, and Amazon now has listings for the Gigabyte Aorus 17X. The star of the show may be the greatest graphics card contender, but even though the rest of its features are top-notch, the price will make your pocketbook cry.

Gigabyte’s first RTX 4090 machine has a lot going on inside, but it takes more than a top-tier graphics card to compete in the best gaming laptop ring. The mobile powerhouse includes a 24-core Intel Core i9-13900HX processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a huge 2TB M.2 SSD that may accommodate part of your Steam collection. It also includes an Nvidia GeForce card. A 17.3-inch 240Hz 1440p display rounds off the muscular ensemble and will let the GPU inside strut its thing, especially if you’re seeking to play the best FPS games on the fly.

Really impressive, no? The demand for new releases is higher than ever, and if Forspoken’s system requirements are any indication, you’ll need a powerful PC to play Square Enix’s role-playing romp at 60 frames per second. The same rule applies if you intend to play Dead Space remake at its highest settings while you’re out and about, as our tests indicate that it can even strain a desktop RTX 4080.

Naturally, there are certain limitations to Gigabyte’s choppy specifications, especially in terms of mobility. You’ll need to move the machine’s 2.8 kg body and 330 W power source in order to use its power away from your desk. Additionally, it costs $3,899 USD, so if you don’t require a portable system, you could easily assemble an RTX 4090 gaming PC for less money.

The Aorus 17X will begin shipping on February 8, although Gigabyte’s Amazon listing now displays a “out of stock” notice (via Videocardz). All RTX 4090 laptops will officially go on sale on that day, and additional producers like Asus, Alienware, Razer, and MSI will probably follow suit in the near future.

waiting for a more affordable option? Budget variants with prices starting at $999 USD will be available starting on February 22, according to Nvidia. A little bit more expensive than RTX 3050 predecessors, but special features like DLSS 3 might convince fans to spend a little bit more.
