Gigabyte has an interesting line of gaming notebooks these days, including their own brand of P-series laptops as well as the AORUS brand. We?re in the process of reviewing the P35X v3, which packs a GTX 980M into a 0.82? thick 15.6? chassis, and now Gigabyte sends word that they have officially launched the big brother P37X with a 17.3? chassis in the North American market. It's actually slightly thicker than the P35X, and the design language is very similar as well. That's either good or bad depending on what you?re looking for in a gaming notebook.

On the one hand it's generally slimmer (0.9?) and lighter (6.17 lbs.) than competing notebooks from Alienware, ASUS, Clevo, and MSI; however, keeping things cool in a thinner chassis generally means either more noise from the fans, higher temperatures, or both. It's also either a conservative and subdued looking design, or it's boring ? I tend to like less bling on my laptops, but others are happier with multi-colored keyboard backlighting and a more aggressive industrial design.
