    Excellent laptop

    I chose this laptop for my 13-year-old son, who loves to game and code. It's perfect for him! We did end up buying an additional cooling pad to help keep the temperatures down. There's plenty of storage and space for him to download various design, animation, and coding apps. He has been able to play a variety of games without any lag or glitches, which was his biggest complaint before. Overall, I feel this is a great first-time laptop for him that will last for many years. The only minor complaint is that the backlit keyboard color cannot be changed; it stays a bluish color.

    I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now. Laptop runs great except for the CPU. It doesn’t take much for CPU usage to max out. For context I have Opera GX (1-2 tabs at most), Discord, and a game (7 Days to Die) running and CPU will go to low to mid 90%.

    Really great specs for your moneys worth, not a very popular brand but I’ve had no issues and overall a great time running borderlands 4 and some other multiplayer high load games

    Literally zero problems with it, although the f keys were locked when it came but it only took a quick fn+f1 or f2. screen is perfection, not a ounce of wobbly, key board and touch pad feel nice and premium, runs gta at ultra settings with very high rtx at 120 fps, runs rdr2 at max settings 60 fps, run subnautica at max settings 90 fps, and gmod at 140 fps. Really love this laptop totally worth it

    The GIGABYTE GAMING A16 delivers strong mid-range gaming performance with its Intel Core i7 and RTX 4050, smooth 165 Hz 16:10 display, and solid thermals for its price class. It’s a great value for casual and competitive gaming. Overall, it strikes a good balance of performance, portability, and price, making it a sensible choice for budget-conscious gamers.

    So far this computer is really great! It runs most games very well. With the laptops hardware it actually meets several games' recommended requirements and meets most games minimum requirements. The fans can be a little loud and I will probably be getting another SSD card due to the 512gb of storage. But still a great computer for the price.

    Solid laptop for gaming while traveling, the 4050 will struggle in newer games but it did run the Battlefield 6 beta fairly well. I wouldn’t recommend it for a everyday rig but definitely a good option for when you’re mobile.

    It was in our budget for what my daughter needed for gaming. Since purchasing it my daughter has told me how perfect it is and how much she loves it daily.

    Hardware is good, but if you need to do heavy gaming or work, this one is not for you.

    Laptop works great. It has a big screen and the video card handles well. The light up keyboard is a must for me. The battery keeps its charge and the fans don’t ramp up too bad when load is high.

    This laptop was great for the price, $600, although, it only has one RAM of 16Gb, that is fine, and one M.2 drive of 512, added a second M.2 drive of 1TB, just to have extra space. I mainly purchased to play Borderlands 4 and Dying Light, the Beast. Along with Hell is Us and Frozen Winter

    Very good budget computer. Surprised with its efficiency and quality, the RTX is a 40 series so it gives good graphics. If your fine with upgrading RAM and SSD, then its a good laptop.

    The laptop didn't have a working gpu right out of the box so i had to return it. The reason its 5 stars is because of the best buy customer service, i brought it in right before closing and they had no issues and didn't charge a restocking fee.

    Great CPU and GPU in price range (if not the best). Turbo mode work surprisingly well, very good for gaming and modeling purpose. However, the screen color is mid, gaming AI doesn't work sometimes
