Reviews for the Gigabyte A5 K1

82.3% Gigabyte A5 K1 review: Old-school gaming notebook | Notebookcheck
The Gigabyte A5 K1 presents itself as a classic gaming laptop that does not put emphasis on a thin and particularly light case. The focus is rather on a good price-performance ratio, because you get a six-core CPU from AMD and a GeForce RTX 3060 with high TGP for under 1,000 Euros (~$993).

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
