Amazing Bang for your Buck!

This piece of hardware is rock solid! Got it for an absolute steal of a price…<$1700! Beautiful screen, good weight, and decently minimalistic. Gave it a storage and ram upgrade and it runs amazing! Top Rated games run smooth and crisp and it isn't as loud as some of my older laptops. A few things to note:- Battery is pretty average, it has a couple hours max at full capacity usage.- The Function Key Logos DO NOT light up on the RGB keyboard, so kind of difficult to see what you're pressing in the dark if your playing/working.- There is a display port instead of a 2nd HDMI port, a bit of a downside in my opinion but not a deal breaker at all.Otherwise it's a high 4.7/5, if those gimmicks were addressed, it would have been a solid 5/5.Definitely worth the buy! Hope this helps. 4 people found this helpful

Alright

Ok. I had this laptop for like a month and 1/2.The beginning wasn’t easy. Be sure you have a decent internet connection to set it all up.Research about how to improve battery for when you’re unplugged (I could get 5 hours in youtube, and maybe more, i don’t really know exactly. You should know Gaming laptops are not for gaming unplugged, but that’s common) like for example switching from Nvidia graphics card to Intel when just browsing — unluckily you have to restart for that, but it’s nice to have itAnd how to get the better performance when plugged.Only issue I had (I read it happened to other people) was at the beginning, when I played a game like RDR2, after like 20 minutes working great, the wattage from cpu and gpu dropped drastically and I had to turn off the game (running 10fps) and restart PC. Happened twice.After that, never again. I suspect it was something related to the battery… maybe not well plugged (although I doubt that, but could be, who knows), or maybe related to Intel’s processors being faulted (it’s a 13th gen i7). I don’t know.Luckily, it didn’t happen again, so I enjoyed a lot of quality gaming. The 360hz look great and sharp. I played CS2, and everything alright. (280 stable fps, I wish it would hit that 360, but I really think I wouldn’t even notice)I also have a 1440p 180hz external monitor, and that works great too. (If you do this, buy a good quality mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort. The manufacturer says it only reaches 120hz but I tried and it works perfect with 180) Tweaking unnecessary advanced graphic settings, I get 110fps AVG in RDR2. That’s exactly how I like to play single player games, with a good 100 refresh rate. IMO it’s a better experience that way.Anyway. A great Gaming laptop. If you want to use it fully, I recommend a cooling pad, but don’t buy cheaper ones. I tried and it was awful. If you want something good get the IETS GT600. It’s really good, lowers temperatures 10/15 degrees.I’m gonna give it 4 stars. I want to give it 4 and 1/2, just because of the issue I had. If nothing like that happens in the next months I’ll put 5 stars.Really good performance. The performance should be as a desktop 4070.If you have the opportunity, I would maybe buy the 17X, which has 1440p resolution at 240hz. Although, this one’s great for Esports.

Power cable too short.

It’s a great product over all. Definitely worth the money. But 2 things just stand out and Gigabyte must address them. First, the power cord form brick to laptop is too short. It needs to be 2x the current length.Second, the start button lights up with a large white lighted logo. This is distracting and can become a strain on the eyes, seeing that it’s a sizeable source of light right under the screen. Many people have to color it in or cover it with electrical tape. Please Gigabyte, you have a great product, fix these two issues. Then it will be even better.

Very loud, decent performance.

The laptop is extremely loud. I had to enable windows registry setting to limit the cpu clock speed, end result was around 40db from the fans. I was comfortably playing Diablo 4 at 60fps with screen full of enemies and at max graphics settings and near silent fan noise. Battery life is somewhat weak, required laptop to be plugged in for good gaming performance. Speakers are extremely weak, lower your expectations from these speakers. Overall, this is probably the cheapest 4080(150watt gpu) laptop out there and don’t expect top of the line display, speakers, and performance.

Catch it on sale, enjoy some powerful gaming on the go

I picked this up during a sale when it was nearly $1000 off, so keep that in mind. It has been absolutely phenomenal for gaming. I put it up on a little riser to keep airflow, and it doesn’t sound nearly as loud as other laptops when running full throttle, so that’s a bonus. My ONLY real complaint has to do with connections and placement. For reasons that I will NEVER understand, the USB-C, USB-A, headphone jack, and POWER are all on the right side of the machine. It makes zero sense. All other ports are on the left. Other than that, this thing is a true gaming workhorse, and should last me for years to come.

Quality laptop

Amazing laptop. I would recommend this machine to anyone wanting a high-performance laptop that can replace some desktops. No issues.

Increíble

Excelente compra, la compre por mayo y es una bestialidad, la compu casi vuela tanto figurada como literalmente (el ventilador suena como turbina de avion si corres juegos muy demandantes tipo elden ring)Tambien me gustaria que el monitor fuera al menos 2k, puede que la compu te de la potencia para correr juegos hasta en 4k pero el monitor te hace cuello de botella :’vDe ahi en fuera 20/10 y GOD con todo el afan de alagar
