Overall Review: Purchased for my wife to play video games on. After a few days of use it started periodically freezing to the point that only a hard restart would let her use it again. This happened typically every other hour and sometimes even multiple times an hour. Attempted to contact Gigabyte customer support to get help to fix the issue and after almost a week still have not heard back. Definitely would not recommend this laptop or anything from Gigabyte based on their tech support (or lack there of) alone.

Pros: – Has a decent CPU and dedicated GPU for the price. Runs smooth OOB. – Runs most games pretty well. Do not buy to run recent games at max settings. – Good solid feel. – Fans can be a bit loud, but it does keep it pretty cool, which I prefer more. Cons: – Auto switching between integrated and dedicated GPU. Would really like to be able to pick which one. – You have to pick between a preset selection of colors for the keyboard LEDs, there are about 25 or so, so it’s not terrible. – The chassis is a fingerprint haven. – Lots of LED bleed on the panel. This is most noticeable at boot where you can see white bleeding through on the corners. Overall Review: – I would recommend this if you are looking for a budget gaming laptop. – Having a better LCD panel would be great as this one really isn’t too great.

Pros: Good quality parts, Samsung memory, quick nvme drive. 11th Gen i5, 16 gb memory, 512gb drive Expandable with ssd and nvme. No real bloatware Decent screen and refresh RTX 3050ti is decent affordable solution. Plenty of ports, power on back of machine. Cons: Needs FB07 bios update from Gigabyte support to run Win 11 No auto update for Gigabyte specific drivers and bios. Not flashy subdued look (if you want something that screams gamer!) Overall Review: Quality laptop suitable for gaming and other uses. Nice build, decent cooling without any flimsy feel. Cooling so far seems good. Quick performance. Great price on sale with rebate. No upgrades necessary out of the box even though it is nicely upgradeable. I also got the sister model with the gen4 nvme and although it is quite a bit faster the Gen 3 drive is no slouch.

Pros: It has a 6 core 11400H using 10nm superfin so it’s a decent processor, it is using a 3050ti which is okay but lacking VRAM so I would get this one on sale, the battery is removable easily which I absolutely love and will bring me back, 3 storage spaces, 16gb storage, overall great laptop for the price. Easily accessible Cons: not much to on the negative side, maybe a better bios so I can undervolt if I want but it is okay I guess. Overall Review: Absolutely would recommend this lineup

Pros: – The 3050ti is actually very capable. – One of the better keyboards I’ve had on a laptop. – Subtle RGB in the keyboard. – Decently size and fast storage with the 512GB drive. – 1080p is great for this form factor (fast refresh rate). – Great view angles. Cons: – Screen is a little dark for my liking. Harder to see when the suns out. – Noisy & hot when running graphically intensive games. – Typical IPS Glow. (Isn’t too bad on my unit) Overall Review: I ended up getting this on sale along with the $200 mail in rebate recently, and I can tell you, what a steal that was! I don’t really think this laptop is worth the full $1600 price tag, but get it on sale and its a must have. I am thoroughly impressed at what this little guy can do. Does everything that I bought it to do. Plays all the the games that I play very well. Final Fantasy XIV at max laptop settings with ease, Resident Evil 8 runs great and smooth around high settings. Lego star wars, Skywalker saga at max settings. Just for a few examples. Does run pretty loud when the fans ramp up, and runs hot. I haven’t made it throttle yet, so it seems to be doing a fairly decent job of cooling, during gaming. The screen is a little dark for my liking. Wish I could turn it up more during the day time. It looks GREAT in a darker room or at night though. Typical IPS glow, but not noticeable unless on a black scene.

Pros: Internet downloads are GREAT. Laptop overall speed is phenomenal. Great for Virtual Dj. Included RTX 3050 TI helps with the sound separation algorithm. RTX 3050 TI makes my games look great ! I play older titles like Fallout 4, Skyrim and Saints Row The Third, and the performance bump, and game fidelity just seems amazing to me. Cons: UEFI screen is VERY basic. I contacted Gigabyte, and there will no further updates to the BIOS (as of 4/23/22). Software suite is really lacking, and the GUI seems to be rendered in Windows 3.1. Wished it had a fingerprint reader. Chassis built by Clevo, and uses their Insyde2 BIOS. Plastic case is a fingerprint magnet. Wished there was some HDD cloning Software. Overall Review: My previous gaming laptop died without warning. I was rushed to get something comparable. My dead laptop was a ASUS FX505DT. I purchased my ASUS TUF gaming laptop back in 2020, and it was a GREAT deal. It had a Ryzen 5 3550H, with a GTX 1650. It did well in games and music/video production, but It had a major flaw, so I ran it overclocked to the hilt for two years. The day I thought it was time to change the thermal paste… it died. So I was rushed to find a replacement. I did some research, and the Gigabyte G5 MD kept popping up. The price was more than I was expecting to pay, but the feature set was far better than my previous ASUS. The ASUS allowed for a SATA SSD and a nVME SSD. The G5 allows for 2 nVME drives plus a SATA SSD. It also has a SD card reader. I do a lot of content creation, and I have a LOT of SD cards with media, which I could only use with a extra card reader on the old laptop. I took my old nVME drive and Sata SSD from the old laptop, and installed them in the G5. I also added another 1 TB nVME drive, for a total of 5 terabytes. The port selection was great. It has two USB 3.1 ports, and one USB 2.0 port and it has a USB Type C port, which I really needed, since I have a lot of USB type C external drives now.

Pros: Price and Availability Overall Review: I paid 849 and got a 200 dollar rebate. For 649 it was a steal. 6 core 12 thread 11th gen i5 with 16gb ram and a 3050ti. Small 500gb hd and only 1920×1080 but it is 144hz. Monitor is ok but isn’t the best, especially in the sunlight of the car. It may not get outstanding fps but everything I throw at it runs at more than playable speed. If you’re looking for a decent gaming laptop that doesn’t break the bank, you found it.
