Want a new gaming laptop without spending any money? We can trust the new one with configurations equipped with RTX 4000, but some laptops with RTX 3000 are still capable of running the latest AAA games at very good resolution. This is the case with the Gigabyte Aorus 15P with its RTX 3070, which is available for only 899.99 euros instead of 1899 euros on the Rue du Commerce.
Today we only trust the RTX 4000, and soon the turn of the RTX 5000 will come, but the previous generation of graphics cards from Nvidia is still sufficient to run the latest games and, above all, more sensible from a financial point of view. For example, this Gigabyte Aorus 15P with an RTX 3070 and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 is still quite capable by most gamers’ standards. On the Rue du Commerce this configuration currently has a huge discount of 1000 euros!

- IPS-LCD panel with FHD resolution and 240Hz refresh rate.
- Combination RTX 3070 + Intel Core i7-11800H
- 1 TB SSD and 16 GB DDR4 RAM.
Instead of €1,899 at launch and now presented at a strike-through price of €1,299, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P XD-73FR224SO is on sale today for €899.99 on the Rue du Commerce.
The configuration is outdated but still strong
If we need power, the RTX 3070 can provide it as this graphics card is mainly designed to run the latest games in QHD or even 4K. In terms of benchmarks, it is halfway between the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070, the same in terms of performance in ray tracing even though it doesn’t use the latest Ada Lovelace architecture. The only trade-off compared to the RTX 4000 is the lack of DLSS 3, which significantly improves in-game performance.
In the RTX 3070 we see an Intel Core i7-11800H processor with eight cores running at 2.3 GHz by default and capable of reaching 4.6 GHz in turbo mode. It is equipped with 16GB of DDR4 RAM to handle all your multitasking tasks, as well as an Intel Iris Xe graphics chip that powers the laptop for light graphics work. For storage, there’s an NVMe SSD with an impressive 1TB of storage, and finally, Windows 11 is already installed, so the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is ready to use upon receipt.
Don’t miss a beat with this ultra-smooth screen
This Gigabyte Aorus 15P certainly has a solid configuration, but with a low quality screen it won’t make much of a difference. The Taiwanese manufacturer opted for an IPS-LCD panel, popular among gamers due to its open viewing angles, Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and an incredible 240 Hz refresh rate! With such high frame rates, you won’t miss a beat in even the most intense games like racing games. Forza Horizon 5 or FPS.
As for the body, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P has a classic angular, all-plastic design and won’t fool anyone thanks to the huge vents on the back. Connectivity is complete and consists of three USB-A 3.2 ports, a USB-C port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a mini DisplayPort, an RJ45 Ethernet port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm jack. Finally, the battery has a capacity of 99 Wh and, according to the manufacturer, provides a battery life of 8 hours, which is very long for a gaming laptop.
