    I am told on these it was changed. I also want a discreet machine that isn't super flashy.

    How about the keyboard ghosting that plagued old Aero 15X? Did they fix it in this V8 model?

    Your dreams have come true, since intel and AMD teamed up, creating “Baby Vega” or Vega 11.

    A i7 7th gen CPU with a built in IGP that’s capable of 10-20% better performance than a Max Q GTX1060. Your talking crazy performance in something as thin as a smart phone. And you don’t need a discrete gpu at all.

    So, I imagine the next Mac Pro will be on board.

    But yeah, a Surface book 2 W/ gtx1060 smoking a Mac Pro 2017 is sad... So they need to offer Mac with these new Vega IGP cpu’s ASAP!

    I was talking about the new v8 model, although I don't know old aero's problem. But what I previously said, even if it existed with the new v8 model, I'm not sure that problem exists on every model or just mine.

    I have returned my Aero 15x v8(1070) and gotton refund for horrible keyboard(ignored inputs depending on where you push on a key, specially on function keys).

    I think the keyboard problem definitely comes from faulty hardware design, which should exist all across the products.



    This is from other user who experienced the same problem. Is there anyone who have experience above problem?

    that's too bad, i'm also targeting this laptop to replace my MSI GT80.
    so what laptop you ended up buying, MSI GS65?

    I'm still thinking about it but currently there's no reason to buy Aero instead of GS65.

    i assume gentech already replied your emails...
    review on notebookcheck already out for the 1080p version, they said recent firmware fixed the keyboard issue.
    any owner here can confirm?

    There were a lot of comments on the keyboard, backlight bleed etc. Gentechpc said the MSI had a lot better screen. I wish I could get it modded to remove all the lights and whatever.

    I know for me I cancelled it just due to all the crazy reviews that went back and forth. The msi is nice but I'm looking at a sager. If I didn't want to game I would get a damn MacBook.

    Congrats on your order of the 4k. I've been pretty intrigued by both systems. Do you happen to know what the hit will be on the battery life with the 4k v 1080p?
