GIGABYTE Sabre 15 and 17 Gaming Laptops
 

Typically when you think of GIGABYTE/AORUS, you think of laptops like the Aero 15X or X9. Beautiful, powerful laptops with budget-breaking prices. However, GIGABYTE is now trying to spread the PC gaming love to more people with its two newest gaming laptops, the Sabre 15 and Sabre 17. Starting at $1,299, these affordable notebooks will be launching just around the time you're sending the kiddies back to school.

Design
Although they're GIGABYTE-branded, both Sabres look more like AORUS laptops, the company's enthusiast brand. Both notebooks have that sleek black, soft-touch chassis accented with a shiny silver GIGABYTE emblem at the top of the lid. The interior is also made with a black soft-touch finish and houses a backlit, island-style keyboard with 1920 x 1080 displays.

The laptops are loaded with ports, especially the Sabre 17. Although it was plugged into several things at the GIGABYTE booth, I saw a mini DisplayPort, HDMI, and several USB Type-C ports. That means this system is ready and able to support a VR headset like the HTC Vive, Vive Pro, and Oculus Rift or several monitors with a few cables.

GIGABYTE didn't divulge dimensions for either laptop, but the company is known for making some of the slimmest laptops on the market. So you shouldn't be surprised if you get some incredibly thin-and-light measurements.
