Packaging and Contents

The outer box is fairly ordinary and plain with just the AORUS logo on a black backdrop. Barcodes and a few bits of info are the only other things here. With the box opened, we find a much nicer black and orange box with four foam corners for protection. Meanwhile, the laptop is safely situated inside a cloth bag and placed in a plastic tray.


The bundle is pretty sparse; what you see here is what you get. There's the notebook, charger, a quick start manual, and some optional feet. Then again, what more do you really need? That said, I was surprised by the optional feet, which, depending on the surface, are a nice inclusions for increasing the space under the unit for improved ventilation and cooling.
