Build quality - p34.
performance/Cooling - x3+ (doesn't throttle, handles heat much better)
size - p34
storage - x3+ has 3x sata bays
But it will cost you 700 bucks more.
Honestly the X3 isn't worth it. I ordered a P34 and am pretty excited. Although if I run into heat issues I'll repaste and use XTU to limit turbo to 26x
I found that the factory paste actually was excellent every time I got it from them. Repasting raised my temps a couple of degrees. See how it goes, though. I'm currently trying IC7, MX-4, and Xi-3 HDT
Yeah. It is unfortunate to some, but thankfully i had no issues with it. X3 plus is a direct competitor to the razer blade. So comparing to that, x3 plus is cheaper. But comparing to the p34, not really value for money.
Hwinfo
However some of the disassembly guides show foxconn listed on the parts.
So it is likely assembled by foxconn which makes the macbook. You can actually see in disaseembly its the exact same machine same shape same battery same heat synch same everything.
I guess gigabyte makes the mb for razer but makes the rest for aorus.
But its possible they are both made the same way actually
The distributor who sold to me the x3 plus last year told me the same as well. And if you think about it, the blade 14 and x3 plus shares the same IGZO Panel, similar battery capacity and the overall form factor.
Only disadvantage I see which Aorus does not have is the small power brick, which is proprietary to Razer.
Anyway, back on topic, if you also care about the design, Aorus offers a distinctive look while gigabyte is subtle (Lexus and Toyota, lol).
You can look at the dissasembly videos they are actually not just similar they are almost exactly the same . every connection etc.
But barely different. You can tell the aorus x3 began as a razer blade project or spare parts
I believe with no proof that foxconn makes the metal shell and gigabyte makes rhe aorus one.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
