. The latest USB 3.2 and TB3 expansion capabilities are even stronger than many desktops (many flagship PCs still do not have TB3). Moreover, the UHS-II card reader allows professional audio and video workers to access audio and video files at any time and immediately enter the computer system for post-editing and saving, which is full of combat effectiveness!
Thunderbolt 3 brings lightning speed and performance, and realizes the fastest and most convenient connection method for external graphics card Docking, 4K monitors or other external storage devices through a smaller, front-and-back plug-in and unplugged USB-C interface. If paired with an excellent external NVMe SSD device, the data access speed can reach the limit of NVMe SSD!
is right, the AORUS 17X is also equipped with the new Kill E2600 wired network chip and the new AX1650 wireless network card, allowing users to enjoy the fastest data access pleasure whether they are external networks or internal LANs!
