Customer Ratings & Reviews

Laptop wont start, it stays in the startup screen with the Gigabyte logo. Had issues in the past with wifi and the laptop disconnecting.I Imve owned it less than a year. Unable to get in touch with Gigabyte team over warranty. Will never purchase another Gigabyte product again.

Needed a replacement laptop for Windows 11. Wanted to also try playing Formula 1 so bought this with lots of power. Didn't need it right away so didn't even hook it up until AFTER Best Buys 15 day return policy (really? 15 days? ridiculous). So laptop always hang at the BIOS when I try to restart. Have to manually power it down and watch do error recovery whenever I restart it (see photos). I swear it is SLOWER doing normal internet tasks than my old Surface Laptop (v1 or 2). I am very sad and don't even know what to do. That's what I get for not trying it out in person I guess, they can ship a bad unit and I'm stuck.

GIGABYTE - 16" 165Hz Gaming Laptop IPS - Intel i7-13620H with 32GB RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - 1TB SSD Summary: Great value upper tier gaming laptop. Pros: * Form Factor. No frills and lean. * Performance. This is a mixed bag. Games perform extremely well on this unit at maximum settings. That is what counts. See below for additional comments. * Ports. This unit has a plethora of ports arranged all around the left, rear, and right sides of the laptop. Left: Mic, Headphones, 2xUSB-A, Rear: Proprietary power, 1xUSB-C, 1xMini Display Port, HDMI, Right: Micro SD slot, 1xUSB-C, Compact RJ-45 NIC. For specs, check out the Best Buy product specifications listed. Its more ports than I see for laptops at this price point, and even form factor. * Storage. This unit comes equipped with 1TB (M.2 gen4 SSD) storage. A lot of units at this price point stick you with 500GB, or 750GB if you're lucky. If you're a gamer, this unit should hold a number of games lets you worry about upgrading until much much later. * Screen. The screen size is great! It's vibrant and crisp. During the day and at certain angles, there can be a hazy glare - but only really noticeable on dark content. * Value. On balance, this unit delivers good value. Cons: * Performance. Basic Windows performance seems to be spotty with strange lag and a prolonged boot time. Windows PC Manager says boot time is 1 second. But thats a lie. I can get tea and go to the restroom (#1) in the time it takes for the unit to boot. * Stability. This unit has blue screened three times. I believe it was the result of a Windows update that failed, but didn't manage to catch the message each time it rebooted. It finally recovered and I ran cleanup routines including use of Microsoft's new PC Manager. It does seem a tad bit more responsive. It hasn't blue screened or halted like it did * Design. While an excellent form factor, the unit isn't anything to write home about visually. Its a plan Jane design. For the price point, it could have been a little more fancy. * Sound. The built-in speakers, as with most laptops, are horrific. Don't expect to enjoy any experience. * Noise. At maximum and even medium settings for the games I tested, the unit is LOUD. I have to turn up the volume to 75-100% to be able to hear ambient sounds in game and occasionally even dialog and action. Use: I use this laptop to game. I installed some of my favorite games to check out frame rates at the highest settings for each game. They all play supremely smooth and with fantastic visual quality. Frame rates at maximum settings easily exceed 90FPS. Some of the cons means I won't use this for my daily driver. If you can afford to spend 500-750$ more, I might consider another unit. If you don't need any flashing colors, this unit will work great.

Gigabyte, out of Taiwan, might not be the most well known computer manufacturer, but it has been gaining attention as of late for its ability to provide high quality components in its PCs at a reasonable price for consumers. This particular gaming laptop is a terrific example of that. I was pretty impressed with this model. Pros: - At a mid-range price point for a gaming laptop, you get a high end graphics card (GeForce RTX 4060), a solid state drive, a high-end i7 processor, a whopping 32GB of system memory, and a beautiful 16" HD display with a good refresh rate (165 Hz). - Initial set-up was smooth and painless. I love how fast Windows can update when you are using a solid state drive vs a traditional hard drive. Gigabyte has a unique default wallpaper and UI for its OS and driver updates (see photos) that I thought was a nice change of pace. - This laptop was able to run any and all games in my Steam/Origin libraries without issue. I was even able to crank up the settings to optimize frame rates on the most demanding games that I own. - The trackpad is large and works well. It has a good feel and is responsive. I also appreciate the plentiful amount of USB ports (4 total, 2 are USB-C) Cons: - The dimensions of the screen were unique to me as it's closer to a square-ish shape than I'm used to, but I plan to use this with different monitors on a VESA set-up anyway. - For a gaming computer, 1TB of storage won't get you too far. You may find yourself having to uninstall games to make room for others fairly frequently unless you expand the storage. Overall, this is a fantastic buy as you get high end components in virtually every key area. This laptop is a powerhouse at a great price and I was a big fan.

So I bought this to replace my work laptop, which I use heavily on my fleet of semis, and at home, occasional gaming and video/picture editing. Overall for the price, its great. Does everything I want it to do, I can play all my games on it with max detail and have no problems with lag or anything else. Just a quick run down of what I think. Pros -Powerful and boots super fast -Sleek and not super bulky -Cheap for what it is Cons -Battery life is terrible. Don't really recommend using it off the charger for very long (I use a Milwaukee portable power inverter in this case for work) -Fans are super loud while on Performance mode -Gets really warm on the bottom during gaming. Overall, I'd buy it again, just keep in mind what you're getting.

Gigabyte has been making some good quality products lately, and this laptop is no exception. You get a lot here for the price, buying a laptop with these exact specs, will cost you more if you go with another brand. Some Highlights include; Screen: this laptop features a 16 inch screen with 1920x1200 resolution, a step up from 1080p. The screen looks good, very crisp and clear and bright, Not a touchscreen, so that’s a bummer. RAM: 32GB DDR5, this laptop is very generous in this department, 32GB is more than enough to run any game out now and you’re future proofing your investment here. Normally laptops at this price range only 16GB. So a nice little extra Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, for a laptop, This is a very good graphics card, more than capable to run any game out right now. Im Running Warzone and Starfield at medium settings because I want the frame rates up, but this graphics card can run almost any other game at high settings. Storage: 1TB SSD. Very good for a laptop, that’s more than enough storage to download AAA games, movies, music, and apps. Processor: Intel 13th generation Core i7. A very fast and powerful processor, can play any game or run multiple applications at once with no problems. I tested this laptop playing a lot of Warzone. Everything ran buttery smooth, and the refresh rate of 165Hz is insane. Conclusion: I was really impressed with this gaming laptop, everything ran really smooth, it is loaded with high-end electronics, and all this in a easy to carry sleek and compact laptop. I would consider this a mid-level laptop and for the price, it cannot be beat. I looked around and you cannot get these specs for any cheaper.

Strong specification for the price With an Intel Core i7-13620H processor, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD, the Gaming A16 comes well equipped for both gaming and multitasking. According to reviews, the memory and storage are generous for this price category. Best Buy +1 The 16″ display features a 1920 × 1200 (WUXGA) resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate. That’s a nice balance: the slightly tall 16:10 aspect gives more vertical space, and 165 Hz offers fluid motion for games. Geek Culture +1 The GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (in this configuration). While not the absolute top of the line, it supports modern features like DLSS (in NVIDIA’s ecosystem) and ray tracing. Geek Culture +1 Build and thermals get praise: reviewers note the machine remains relatively cool under load, and the chassis feels solid. For example: “Build Quality: It feels and looks well made … No creaking, no mushy keyboard and little flexing on the screen.” Best Buy +1 Good for mixed use Given its spec, it’s well-suited not just for gaming but also for productivity: streaming, browser tabs, editing etc. Some users report using it successfully for work + gaming. Reddit The 16″ size is a good middle ground: larger than typical 15.6″ gaming laptops (giving more screen real estate) but still reasonably portable for what it is. I liked because i can play roblox at 300 fps and the physics at

TLDR - If you can deal with the CPU core hitting (only for a few moments, but still) 100-106c during gaming, and the 4060 hitting a 99.5C hotspot temp, this laptop will game exactly as you’d expect, while looking very good at the 1920x1200 resolution with a great refresh rate. (temps according to HWINFO) Build/case/keyboard/touchpad - The build quality is about exactly what you’d expect from a gaming laptop with these specs at this cost level. They had to obviously cut some cost somewhere, so while the keyboard is well lit, the keys feel a bit mushy without any satisfying click. The case is in the same boat, as it is all plastic, but at least feels quite strong and rigid. The touchpad is admittedly massive for any gaming laptop, and works fairly well, even though it will be used much less if the laptop is used for its main use case of gaming. Screen - I expected a 16” screen at 1920x1200 would be a little pixelated, but it's almost perfect for this GPU to push good/high frame rates at most games. 165hz is also great for this cost range as most seem to have 120-144. CPU - The intel i7 13620H is a great mobile CPU while cooled well. Unfortunately that is not the case in this system. The CPU throttles at both the “Performance” and “entertainment” settings in the control center application. Under Cinebench and Geekbench it still performed extremely well, but was continuously bumping into the thermal limit/throttling. During gaming, which is when the cooling system is REALLY stressed out, the CPU peaked at 103c at the “entertainment” setting while playing Dota2, and hit 106c (WAY too hot even for a quick moment) during a longer gaming session of Starfield or Cyberpunk 2077. GPU - The 4060 in this machine is limited to 75w when running in “performance” control center mode. From what I could find online, Nvidia’s Ada chips that are in the 4xxx series are very efficient, so the peak speeds of this laptop 4060 are only about 10-15% under the max of what a fully cooled/powered version would be running. It allows for great performance in Starfield at medium with DLSS on to quality, or high runs well with DLSS set to performance. I scored just over a 9200 in the graphics portion of 3DMark Timespy which is a very respectable showing. SSD - The SSD was an odd sore spot, but won’t be enough to hurt gaming performance, you just may want to replace it down the road with something that performs better. According to Gigabytes website, this model is supposedly supposed to get 5,000 MB/s reads and 4,600 MB/s peak, (there is a tiny variation in the model number that may specify that this is a separate OEM model) but when I tested I only got approximately 5100MB/s and 1700MB/s reads and writes using CDM 8.0.5 Overall I love this laptop besides its overheating issues, it really games well, I would just be scared for its longevity. It has a decent amount of ports, but one of the USB-C ports should really be Thunderbolt. I give it an 80/100 due to its heat issues.

Bricked within 6 months of use i wasnt covering the fans. On day one of booting it up i was having problems maybe its windows fault maybe its mine idk im not a nerd

A good paperweight that says gigabyte… Just a screen.

The pc is perfect for 1080p at mostly max settings on most games. Great build overall nothing to complain about. The pc does run very hot, recommend propping up or a cooling pad with large fan. Temps while playing BO6 at max were 97f CPU, and 82f GPU. Battery life is not good but working with a power house of a laptop.

Coming from last year's G5 gaming laptop that I liked, this Gigabyte G6 is a real nice upgrade. Little on the thicker side, but not too bad and moderate in weight compared to most gaming laptops. Sleek black shell color and subtle design is pretty cool. Display is super big at 16 inches now, sharp and bright, an so smooth with the higher frequency fast response! Nice big keyboard with number pad which is nice and the trackpad is a great size for me as well. This year's G6 model with 2x the RAM at 32gb and storage now 1 TB is a welcome upgrade, especially for this price! Gaming has been very fast, and benchmarks and actual gameplay even a little more smooth with great rendering (Witcher ran great). Excellent also for my Draftsight engineering app and a home architect program as well. Speakers are good and loud in my opinion as well. Battery life I'd say is a bit of a weakness as always for gaming laptops, but pretty typical. Plenty of ports along the left, right and back as well. My Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and headset also has worked fine without issues. WiFi connection has been as fast as any other computer in my house. Very powerful and reasonably priced gaming and multi-purpose machine...I'd say give it a try!

Gigabyte has delivered a great gaming laptop with the G6. This 16" FHD laptop isn't as heavy as most gaming laptops despite all that is packed within it. It has a 16" FHD 165Hz IPS display, 32GB of RAM, Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, Intel UHD GPU, Intel Core i7 CPU, 2 USB-C 3.2 ports, 1 USB-A 2.0 port, 1 USB-A 3.2 port, Full HDMI port, 1 mini display port (1.4), 1Gb nic, WiFi 6E nic, micro SD card reader, webcam, and a 1TB M.2 PCI-E SSD. It good to see a manufacturer have a 1TB SSD with their laptop. So many manufacturers still have their laptops come with a 512GB SSD which is too small these days. The Core i7 CPU coupled with the RTX 4060 GPU make for a great gaming experience. I was able to also connect the G6 to my 49" 5120x1440 monitor without any problems. The G6 was able to handle running Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 4 at a high frame rate and zero lag on my 49" monitor. This is helped by the 8GB of dedicated VRAM on the RTX 4060, the 32GB of RAM, and the WiFi 6E nic. First person shooters running on the G6 run fast and smooth. I don't think you will be disappointed with the G6's performance. For those who record and edit their game footage, you'll be happy with the rendering performance of the G6 as well. I was able to render video game footage recorded in ProRes 422 HQ and H.265 at up to 130 frames per second. So if you need a gaming laptop to handle the high performance requirements of current first person shooters and any other genre of games that also performs well when rendering your game footage, then G6 would fit the bill. It has an impressive bult-in 16" 165Hz IPS display and can drive large high resolution displays. The output of the built-in display is good for such a high refresh rate. Gigabyte has ensured you'll have no lag with the display or the WiFi nic, when using the G6 for on the go gaming. I have been very happy and impressed with the G6. The performance has been better than I expected it to be. Gigabyte chose the G6's components well. Impressive performance for a laptop. If you are looking into getting a gaming laptop, consider the Gigabyte G6 KF. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It's a good laptop for gaming I get great performance overall in any game I play. Examples being Fortnite and any of the Hoyoverse games. My only problem with it is that it's very loud. The fans I have not been able to fix it without getting over 90 degrees Celsius on the CPU. I would recommend this product to other people who need a good laptop to game on!

i bought this laptop around a year or so ago, and for the amount i paid for it its honestly completely worth it, i wont lie i did have some minimal hiccups here and there with the computer itself so i recommend getting the warranty. the battery life is as expected for a gaming laptop. my fiancée and i got one at the same time and they're both holding up great. id recommend using it on a hard surface because when its on cloth or anything it can get rather warm pretty fast. overall would recommend!

A lot of PC parts I use when building my rigs are from Gigabyte and they are known for quality. This G6 laptop is no exception to that rule. They really nailed price to performance ratio with this higher end Mid tier laptop. Personally for me. the 16 inch screen is my sweet spot for mobile and the FHD+ (1920x1200) resolution suits is well. The dark gray chassis isn't flashy at all but I love the simplicity. I/O includes - USB A 2.0 (why?), USB A 3.0, 2x USB-C, Mini DP 1.4, HDMI 2.1, a sweet micro SD card reader, 1 2-in-1 Headset/Mic combo jack and a separate Mic jack as well. You will get power from the 150w small power brick made by Chicony (Steam Decks use this brand). Keyboard felt great with my big hands and the off center trackpad didn't interfere with my gaming as my palms were resting on the G6. As this is a gaming laptop, Gigabyte spared no expense with an i7 13620H, RTX 4060 and 32GB of DDR5 RAM shown on an IPS screen. More than enough horsepower to run most AAA games on Med to High with decent FPS. By the way, if you know how to upgrade laptops, the RAM can be upgraded to 64GB and there is an extra M.2 slot to add another NVMe drive to compensate for the included 1TB. Sound isn't going to win any awards even with the 2x 2W speakers with Dolby Atmos. Just use your headphones and you'll be better off. Performance for me was excellent. Played Diablo 4, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate 3 with great performance. Most was set on High settings but Med for Cyberpunk for me. Included a screenshot of the TR stress test showing ~135 FPS on HIGH settings. Most games gave me triple digit results from 100-140fps. With what Gigabyte offers in the G6 laptop, the price is on point and will get most of what you want done for a few years to come. Compact 5lb machine is a sleeping beast when it comes to performance.

Exellent machine. Quiet, quick, nice screen, memory excellent. Only issue is it doesn't support pass through video on the USB-C. My bad for not verifying but HDMI and display port work just fine. I use as a desktop replacement and it provides me with that much more screen space and portability.

Strong components, decent price. It’s fast and can handle my games at max settings. I mainly play strategy, simulation and RPG games. Can’t speak to it on shooters. The fans get loud but it’s a laptop so that’s expected. My only complaint is that the screen resolution could be a bit better but that’s it’s. The casing is plastic but seems sturdy.

I’ve been using the GIGABYTE G6 KF for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. This thing is a powerhouse. The Intel i7-13620H processor and 32GB of RAM make everything super fast and responsive, whether I’m gaming, streaming, or multitasking with school work and editing. The 165Hz display is buttery smooth and really makes a difference, especially in fast-paced games. The RTX 4060 handles everything I throw at it, from AAA titles on high settings to creative software like Photoshop and Premiere. No lag, no stuttering. I mainly use it for gaming on Steam and Epic Games, and it runs everything beautifully. Right now I’m having a great time diving into the Final Fantasy VII games. They look amazing, load fast, and run like a dream. The 1TB SSD gives me plenty of space for all my games, and the system boots up in seconds. It also stays surprisingly cool under pressure, which is a big plus for a gaming laptop. If you’re looking for a high-performance machine that can keep up with both serious gaming and productivity, this is a solid pick.

Performance is amazing, a little bit noisy, great quality
