Customer Ratings & Reviews

Computer has a sleek, professional looking design with some subtle "gamer" implements (RGB backlit keyboard. This is a laptop I'd be comfortable taking to work, but powerful enough to play some games. Screen is large enough that I feel comfortable either using by itself or as a secondary monitor when plugged into another display. Battery life so far has been reasonable, the built in software will automatically turn off the GPU when unplugged to help conserve power so if you are playing any games, keep it plugged in, which is generally what you want to do anyway. The only downside that I've experienced so far is that right out of the box, it needed some critical driver/bios updates to perform as it should (fan started going at full blast once past the out of box experience), but since the updates everything has run smooth.

This was my first gaming laptop and I am extremely happy with this pruchase. Compared to my old school laptop this felt much more premium and obviously performs way better. I bought this laptop while it was on sale for $1199 and it honestly had best specs in any laptop I could find at this price range. The cooling is very good and it only gets hot in certain parts so the WASD keys only become a tiny bit warm. The only thing with the specs that could really help out is the Vram but other than that it is amazing. I like the screen it is kind of a matte screen which helps a lot with glare. Overall I really like the quality of the laptop itself and it performs very well. For the price, this is absolutely worth it.

The laptop is pretty fast, very good for gaming, wish that the video card would have mor vRam but is ok, love the material a d quality of the laptop.

This computer is amazing. Handles everything smooth and clear. Quiet as can be as long as it has space underneath. An absolute monster for the price.

OK, so I have a list of gripes about this laptop right out of the box. (1) The charger is a proprietary charger – I will always hate proprietary chargers in a world where we should all agree on power supply specifications. (2) For some insane reason, the charging light is on the opposite side of the laptop from the charging port. When I got the laptop and plugged it in to charge before initializing it, I genuinely thought I had a brick because there was no feedback at the source. (3) The fully charged laptop seems to last for only 6-7-ish hours of continuous use (like literally doing Windows installs and scrolling online). Nothing close to a full day of use! (4) The display, while being accurate at the Pantone level (colors are beautiful), is clearly uneven during every startup. When you turn the computer on, it opens with a “black” screen with alternating white branding logos – during this branding, the four corners of the display exhibit a strong light bleed that is distracting during the booting process. But once seen, the unevenness cannon be unseen elsewhere. (5) As a laptop, I found that this machine runs hot – I frequently use my laptop on my lap and don’t like a lot of creeping heat escaping from the machine. I was surprised to find out that this machine has two powerful fans inside – they are absolutely silent (but they are displacing a ton of heat here and I prefer a cooler ride). (6) My total install time, from “on” to having fully updated Windows plus Microsoft 365 plus my proprietary virus protection suite was over 2 ½ hours. Not sure how a fresh factory laptop could have an installed version of Windows that would be so far out of what we should be running on currently. (7) Finally, the touchpad is possessed. I feel like there is a tiny lag between my gestures and the appropriate application reactions. And, somewhat arbitrarily, the touchpad will misinterpret my two finger gestures (like scrolling) for three finger gestures (like switching between apps/windows). Absolutely infuriating. It is very confusing that this same model number for the GIGABYTE AERO X16, EG61H, actually covers four (I think) different model specifications. So, the same model number has been given to laptops with varying processors, graphic cards, and RAM configurations. My implementation has 32 GB RAM, a newer graphics processor, and the second-best processor. And, in an interesting turn of events, the newest processor would have given me significantly better performance, and my newer graphics processor (as realized) gives me arguably poorer performance than one of the older cards. To be clear here, this is a powerful machine. It can perform great calculations in business applications, but (according to available statistics) is noticeably slower than the model with the newer processor. Graphics nerds might want to take a look at the graphics card detailed information before relying on my specific implementation (RTX 5070). I would like to offer up a couple of interesting positives after dominating this review with negatives. I think that the sound production from the internal speakers is astounding. Probably the best sound I have ever heard from a laptop. And probably the craziest thing of all – this laptop can be upgraded to 64 GB RAM and 4 TB storage by popping off the back panel. Alas, the back panel requires some brute force prying after removing ten screws, but upgrading is immediately possible once you actually get that back panel open (see picture). My model has a single installation of RAM and you can see the empty slot above it. My 1 TB drive is the slender horizontal module in the middle on the left. There is an additional empty slot (vertically) on the right (looks like any upgrade would require a screw that is not in this laptop). Overall, cool sound and some upgradability isn’t enough for me to recommend this laptop to anybody. Specifications can’t overcome the strange sluggish feeling this laptop has. There are WAY speedier options out there.

I’ve been looking for a laptop that I can confidently game and work on. This one is perfect for that. Its powerful enough to game and slim enough to take around with me. Definitely recommend.

If you get in on the sell, its one of the best laptops for the price Slim , portable, amazing. I love this laptop

Excellent laptop - no complaints. Wicked fast, stable and runs everything you through at it with plenty of muscle. Based on internet reviews, Gigabyte offers a lower price point with better innards than the competitors at the same price. Here's the point, they can do this because they "get you" with the customer service... there isn't any... and if it breaks you already bought it, good luck! With that said, getting this laptop on sale for $1350US is worth the risk of equipment failure and getting hosed by Gigabyte customer service. My only REAL complaint is the GPU manufacturers nerfing the bus speed on laptops to 128... this laptop would last for 10 years if it was running a 256bit memory bus like it's desktop counterpart.

Great laptop at a great price with the ability to add additional ram and an additional SSD. Fast at everything, minimal bloat, and fans are pretty quiet even when pushing it.

Love this computer! The design and features are amazing. The battery life impressed me, it lasts a lot longer than I was expecting.

The product is very good, the fans is pretty loud but the performance is just so good. Lightweight and the manufacturer give me free sticker pack too!

Best laptop I’ve used so far. Coming from a Alienware M18 that kept blue screening and doing weird dumbo stuff, I didn’t know gigabyte even made laptops and getting this one for a great deal a double sale yeah I jumped right on it! Definitely would recommend to a friend. Only issue is the gpu turning off when it’s not plugged in sure it gives you the option but I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on and just did a fresh install anyways no big deal still a great laptop. Though some people complain about the keyboard sure it’s a little less sturdy feeling than other too of the line laptops but I’m actually cool with it!

This device was an upgrade, intended for schooling and gaming. The item as a whole is really lightweight and a good size to fit in a backpack and has a comfortably spaced keyboard. This laptop gets pretty loud when it's running a few things, but it doesn't bother me too much. Definitely worth the price, and it was a nice little add on to get a month of game pass plus some other little bonuses. Works well so far, I enjoy the speed and how smoothly games run. No complaints really.

A good value for a powerful laptop. The screen is very sharp and clear for graphics. The Ryzen 350 CPU sips power when unplugged. It not going to beat an apple laptop but can get 4 to 5 hours when web browsing. I turn the screen brightness down to 30%. It is fine for viewing and I consistently lose about 20% of battery from a full charge. One minus is the Mediatec Wi-Fi card should be replaced with an Intel one for better Wi-Fi and Bluetooth performance. I got my laptop as an open box special and am very happy with it. If you can get a special and save a good amount of money on the purchase price.

This has been amazing. Great laptop for the money. Easy set up too which I loved. Only thing i could say could be an improvement is the mouse pad is huge so it's taken some getting used to to not move the mouse accidentally when working on it. Other than that I'm beyond happy with this purchase

I've been using it for Roblox Studio for making a Roblox game. Works perfectly. Also have played Fortnite, Battlefield 6, and Blue Protocol without any issues. I did have to put Spiderman 2 on the lowest settings to get 60+ frames, but it did play well after that. It's been working for everything that I wanted from a gaming laptop. It even has all the ports I need: ethernet, usb c, usb a, and hdmi. I got it while on sale too, so the value for me has been excellent.

I needed a strong laptop to run solid works while I am at school. I am happy with the purchase. It runs what I need it to. My only problem is that it is not usb c like the mac computers are. It draws 150 Watts, and my other electronics could also use the same brick to charge. I need to carry round the bulky old school brick and double thick cable to classes everyday. It would make sense if it were a 240 watt power minimum, but its only 150. Still a very great laptop for the msrp provided.

Really nice laptop. It's a good size, not super thick like a lot of gaming laptops. The build quality is pretty good. Some reviewers complain about a flimsy keyboard, but that's not really an issue unless you're slamming the keyboard. The screen is really nice. I like the big track pad. The performance is great for a laptop. I can train and evaluate light AI models without any issues. Gaming is good for a laptop. I don't have any issues with heat or fan noise. The battery life is good if you use the software to disable the dGPU when it's not needed.

This gaming laptop runs everything smoothly and looks great doing it. The performance is fast and reliable for gaming and multitasking, and the screen quality really makes a difference. The keyboard feels comfortable, and the build quality feels solid. Battery life could be better, but that’s expected with gaming laptops. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone who wants power and style in one machine.

Thin, easy to carry and move around. The PC does get kinda noisy when gaming but overall a great PC so far.
