The Aorus 5 gaming laptop offers excellent performance with an Intel i7 9750H CPU and GTX 1650 graphics. The 144Hz IPS display is great for gaming and has good color gamut and brightness. However, the laptop suffers from thermal throttling, especially under heavy load. The battery life is not impressive, lasting only about 3 hours and 43 minutes while watching videos, and under 1 hour while gaming. The pricing of the Aorus 5 is a bit high, especially when compared to other laptops with better performance. The build quality and design of the laptop are decent, but nothing extraordinary. The keyboard is backlit, but the key presses are a bit mushy and there is some flex while typing. The webcam quality is not great, and the audio from the built-in speakers lacks depth and bass.

The thermal throttling and pricing are the main drawbacks.
