    Doing well so far. I'm not noticing the loud fan noises or overheating mentioned in some of the other reviews.

    Have had a grest experience with this laptop. Great battery life, decent display and just wnough to get by with specs. I bought on sale so ik basing review on the value that i recieved at that price point *1 the computer is undervolted / configured to get the best battery life at the expense of performance. Not an issue due to the power profiles "never gets to full potential" vut able to play all my games on medium to high *2 build quality is perfect for the price point, does not feel cheap and has minimal flex *3 came with 1 16gb ram which is perfect because it leaves room to only purchase and additinal 16g stick instead of having 2 8gb chips and then having to purchase 2 16g chips. *4 the i7 is powerful enough for everyday tasks / gaming, i only with the gpu was a ti or the 60 version but can still play wverything at medium to high settings.

    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.

    Everything is good; the dedicated graphics card is sufficient for gaming, and there are upgrade interfaces for both memory and hard drive. I trust Gigabyte's quality.

    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%.

    Wanted a nvidia based laptop to learn Cuda. This fits the purpose very well! Comfortable keyboard, great 16:10 display that is very clear, and a large and accurate trackpad. The fan is a bit loud when pushed but can’t complain too much at this price!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
