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.

Great gaming laptop for a low price. Very solid screen and audio. Very quiet. I returned an ASUS that had a defect in the cooling system making the fan go to 100% even when cool. It was SUPER loud. I've barely heard the fan in this so far. Not even really much noise at full blast.

I have no complaints about this laptop. It is perfect for what I was looking for, handles everything at a reasonable graphics quality, it feels good to type on, the track pad feels good on my fingers, and the battery life is pretty good considering it's a gaming laptop.

This laptop is a beast. Super fast, great screen, and handles everything I throw at it — from work to gaming to multitasking like a champ. The build feels premium, and the keyboard is actually comfortable for long sessions.
What really stands out is how well it fits into a modular setup. I’ve been able to tweak and optimize it for my workflow, and it keeps up without breaking a sweat. Fans stay quiet, thermals are solid, and the performance is consistent.
If you’re into speed, flexibility, and a clean design that doesn’t get in your way, this one’s hard to beat.

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.

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.

There Are Much Better Options

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.

(GIGABYTE - AERO X16 AMD Ryzen Al 7 350 - 1TB SSD - 32GB DDR5 RAM GeForce RTX ) This baby handles everything I throw at it, music creation, games and more. And it's fast! I can even fast forward through Youtube videos faster than any PC or laptop I've had before. If I have any complaint, it's that I can't get quite as far from the unit with my earbuds before audio cuts out. Not a big deal. I've had it for a month and it's a dream. I recommend it for anyone wanting a great gaming laptop and doesn't have a ton of money to spend.

Great gaming laptop with enough power to handle just about any game you can throw at it.
Had ran into an issue when trying out a game for the first time with the Gigabyte software GiMATE. It had switched from the dedicated gpu to the integrated one and made it impossible to switch or update the dedicated gpu the with Nvidia software as it was showing that there was no nvidia gpu installed. Took awhile to figure it out but afterwards the hiccup, was able to update the gpu drivers and had no issues playing any games.

For it's MSRP it's a great laptop to consider, with sale discounts it's a no brainer.
Pros:
Great screen.
Integrates AI naturally.
RTX 5070 and probably the cheapest on the market.
The fact that it's cheap doesn't reflect on materials.
Temperature control is always manageable.
Cons:
Undelivers power to GPU-not an issue when considering fps/$.
CPU falls below other laptops with rtx 5070-only an issue if it's needed for cpu heavy tasks.
Overall is what you would call flagship cost/benefit by a LOT.

This computer has been a great purchase! It is very quick and responsive to opening applications. I am very impressed with the graphics as well. I bought this PC for gaming with my daughter and it handles all the games we are playing like Red dead redemption and other games with ease. This was a great purchase!

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.

I love the laptop. It runs most games very smooth at 180fps at FHD . The screen is pretty good for a laptop at this range. Best bang for the buck, would highly recommend. But make sure to carry the charger everywhere, the battery doesn't last if you try doing gaming or intensive work like CAD or solid works.
