Sadly i had a few blue screens and it also the heat that reaches was quite worriying because i had many downturns on simple games

Fans makes alot of noise,probably will have to return

While playing games it's getting heat up too much, Display Quality is not good

Computer ran hot and fan run at max level at all times even while watching YouTube.

Not bad for $745.00 it would be even better if it was free! $0.00 because that's what it's worth $0 dollars!

Not really sure who this laptop is for but I would say with a decent price cut. Maybe it’ll be worth it but truthfully, I like to play Fortnite online and it was not playable at all. That’s pretty much my test for every laptop computer if they can play Fortnite, it could probably play most games with no problem and this just couldn’t hack it 

1 Star? Really? Really. The laptop is amazing until it stops charging or getting power at all (i.e. dead charging module). Then you have to deal with Gigabyte support. I am over a week into trying to get support. I've had to create three seperate account and open three tickets and they still cannot start the repair. Gigabyte Support is that stuff that comes out of one's butt.

Battery dies so fast! Laptop will be charged to 100% and Every time I play a game after like 10 minutes the battery drops below 50% or even dies! I was looking forward to this laptop, it’s my first gaming laptop too. So disappointing. Gonna return

Decent build but observed significant lag for heavy gaming.

Screen was damaged so it’s delicate. .

This advertises long battery life, but it does not hold a charge. This was a $850 paperweight

Piece of Junk. Motherboard fried at 18 months. Not an expensive gaming laptop but seriously only lasted 18 months!!

This is a pretty nice gaming laptop and is very capable at its price point. It came preloaded with come Microsoft's operating system which needed updating. Installation of the updates went smoothly with no problems encountered. After downloading some of my favorite games I put this laptop through its paces. Admittedly I am not a hardcore gamer, but I experienced no "gamer" issues. Screen colors were very good, there was no screen tearing (even "my preferred" settings), FPS were pushed (not maxed), and the overall visual quality was excellent. I do wish that the computer had larger amount of RAM. Secondly, I would have liked to see more standard storage than 512 gigabytes. The performance of this laptop when multi-taking is excellent, as the computer uses a 13 Generation Intel Core i7 processor. There was no noticeable bog during regular computing, and it handled my tasks well. Boot-up time is fast, as this product has a solid-state drive. Program launches were snappy and quick. The model has a backlit keyboard, which is option as I always find myself working in a dimly lit room. The overall feel of the keyboard was great, and responsiveness of the trackpad was excellent. I also found the operating temperature of this laptop to be on the acceptable side. Pros: 13 Gen Intel Core i7 144HZ refresh rate Semi-Cool running laptop. Vibrant screen colors Decent speakers NIVIDA GeForce RTX 4060 Ports galore: HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Type C Mini DP 1.4, Audio In/Out, RJ-45, MicroSD Card Reader Cons No CD/DVD drive Fast battery consumption at extreme gaming settings (normal for lower end gaming laptops). 512 gigabyte hard drive (low for true gamers). I'm definitely enjoying this product so far. The screen is bright and beautiful, and screen colors really pop. The computer for everyday usage is fast and responsive and is fantastic for my personal needs. My gaming experience was pleasant; however, I wouldn't expect to compete on very high gaming plateaus though. That being said, I am still recommending this good overall computer.

Bought two. One is fine, the other is displaying BSoD on day one.

Bought this instead of a ROG Ally was very disappointed with thermals 95c during lite gaming and constant crashing even when watching a YouTube video. If you want a laptop look elsewhere gigabyte dropped the ball on this.

Unfortunately the device I received would not charge past 1%. Tried another charger still the same. Best Buy did not have any more stock so they could have exchange for another.

Based on the price range of this laptop, it feels like it has some shortcomings but they might be things that aren't too important to you. Overall, it's not a terrible performing laptop, but I feel like it could be a little better. Setup is pretty standard stuff. Straight forward Windows 11 on-boarding process. Bloat-wise, this one is pretty light on it. There's one of two of the standard (now a days) branded apps that control things like performance settings and stuff. That's about it. I don't know if I can blame Gigabyte for it but the one thing that I saw in this laptop that I haven't seen in any of the many other laptops I've tested was separate entries in add/remove programs for Office 365 (in 11 different languages) as well as OneNote (in 11 different languages again). This doesn't sound like a big deal, but when I went to remove them, each one took literal MINUTES to remove. Like more than one. 22 times. All interactively needing to select each one, one after the other, and removing them and then wait for an eternity before removing the next one. Big picture, it's not that big of a deal and you probably don't need to remove them but I start most every laptop test by cleaning out all of the crap I'll never use so I needed it gone. I only mention it because I've tested more than a handful of laptops over the years and this was the first time I noticed this many entries for Office and OneNote. Then performance after the initial setup was a little underwhelming. I started downloading Starfield via GamePass. The download seemed to be pretty decent for wifi but while it was downloading, it felt like everything else was chugging along incredibly slowly. Things seemed to clear up after the download so I don't know if the general I/O for the whole laptop is limited or if it was just doing a lot of initial setup stuff in the background for many hours. Performance the next day became more steady. I installed Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom Eternal via Steam and didn't notice as many sluggish issues. I wasn't doing a ton of things with the laptop during this time though. Gaming performance was pretty good for this price range, I think. I started with Cyberpunk 2077 since there's a benchmark mode I can keep running. The game defaulted to "Ray Tracing Ultra" settings. With these default settings, I got about 47 fps in the benchmark. I tried the new Ray Reconstruction setting and the frames dropped to 43 fps (which is a pretty small hit for the improved quality of the ray tracing). Then I turned on frame generation and was rocking 70 fps. I was impressed how crazy of a bump it provided. I did notice some soft edges and a beer bottle early in the benchmark that looked a little weird but I don't think it's anything that would kill your experience when you're getting 70 fps on such a low end GPU. Just for giggles, I tried the path tracing beta with Ray Tracing Ultra and Ray Reconstruction on and still ended up getting 30 fps (obviously, some dips below there so not recommended). Turning Frame Generation on gave me 52 fps with the same glitches found. Impressive first showing for the 4060! I didn't do any extensive testing on Doom Eternal because I jumped in game and turned everything up to Ultra Nightmare settings and ray tracing and was getting 144 fps (vsynced to the monitor) with no dips. Starfield, on High with FSR2 enabled gave me about 50 fps. This could probably be improved with the DLSS mod (or when Bethesda finally adds DLSS themselves). The biggest hardware issues I had with the laptop is the size of the keyboard, the speakers and the amount of hard drive space. Speakers aren't a huge deal because you're probably just going to use headphones anyways while gaming but if you're expecting to use this for watching YouTube or Netflix without headphones or external speakers, it won't be a great experience. I liken these speakers to the same speakers you'd get included with a really cheap monitor. There's zero bass and the sound in general is very tinny and just it doesn't sound good. Use headphones. Then the keyboard. It's not awful but it's small. They chose to include a keypad which I appreciate but they way they had to cram everything in and shrink the keyboard from a standard size just makes it hard to use. The transition between the standard keyboard and the numpad is so small it all feels like the same. The arrow keys just blend in with both the bottom right corner of the standard keyboard and the bottom left of the numpad. I hit the Num Lock key instead of Backspace SO many times in the time I've been using it. I'm sure this is something that you could become used to if you're going to be using this laptop exclusively. If you use a standard size keyboard in addition to this laptop, you might have some issues or need to use a secondary keyboard to be comfortable. Disk space is obvious. In these days where 150GB isn't a crazy amount of space for a game to take up, there's just not a lot you can do with 512GB internally anymore. You'll definitely want to get a large external drive or invest more in a larger internal drive. I'd say, overall, this is a pretty decent laptop for gaming if you can get comfortable with the smaller keyboard and you plan to exclusively use headphones (seriously, I don't even recommend casual use of these speakers). The performance of the GPU is pretty good for 1080p gaming. Especially with some of the magic tech NVIDIA has created with Ray Reconstruction (DLSS 3.0) and Frame Generation (DLSS 3.5), you can get away with 60+ fps on a low end GPU in some of the most graphically intensive games out there right now. Take the shortcomings into account and compare to other laptops in the same price range and then make your decision. This one could be better but it definitely could be worse.

Was only use this twice before it bricked. Total waste of 800 dollars. Unfortunately its out of the return period since it was a late Christmas gift for my gf so i just wasted alot of money

The Gigabyte Gaming laptop is a great mid range performance solution to a good portable general use laptop, but able to game and have some fun in between. With a Core I7 and 8GB RTX4060 graphics, it definitely is no slouch. Out of the box you will find a well crafted, pretty solid chassis that doesn't have a great deal of flex, and is fairly lightweight. It comes with a pretty nice keyboard layout that also includes a number pad and a decent size trac pad. The keys have an ok feel when typing and are pretty average. The trac pad feels good when scrolling and using button clicks. I would still recommend using a mouse to control over the pad. The main windows install is an easy setup and the computer does come with a bit of bloatware that I just remove right away after finishing setup. There are a quite a bit of updates to perform as well. Booting is pretty fast and is nice at the office booting quick when getting ready to take notes and handle a presentation. The 144hz display gives a great 1080p picture and is very smooth for videos and gaming. Its total brightness nits could be better though. Cinabench scores for the I7-12650h were in a low to mid range for performance, and was able to get 55-80fps on mostly high and ultra settings in games, which is very tolerable for a mid level system. It does have lighting contol for the keyboard. It has a couple usb inputs, a usb-c thunderbolt port, hdmi out and a mini sd card reader. The sound for the laptop is a little low but works good for this range of computer. Headphones will still be the way to go for this computer. Overall, even though it only has a rtx4060, the 8GB it does offer is quite a bit for most gaming and handles pretty well. The I7 and 16gb of ram let it handle most tasks with ease. It has a pretty balanced battery life, but only gets you about an hour when full on gaming. It is definitely worth the pick up for someone who isn't trying to break the bank but wants a well rounded gaming machine.

It has a really great performance, a very nice looking screen with a really solid chassis. An easy to upgrade storage which i feel like most people will need since its a gaming laptop. High end graphics. The battery drains really fast when heavy applications are being used and it doesnt have a USB C type charging port. Overall a solid pick.
