Yes, we are very impressed. Although it is not the best out there, Gigabyte packs this laptop with all those features that many gamers will appreciate. The 105W variant of RTX 3060 GPU sets this apart from its competitors in this price range. Especially today where the graphics chips are very hard to get, it’s great to get a laptop with this 105W GPU, so yes, we highly recommend this Gigabyte G5 KD-52US123SO.

With the Gigabyte G5 GD, smooth modern gaming is finally achievable in a machine that doesn’t cost so much. The 15.6-inch 144Hz refresh rate screen shows its good side with rich colors, while the Intel Core i5-11400H processor makes for stable performance over prolonged periods. The built-in Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 is a good run for butter-smooth frame rates in modern AAA titles. Elsewhere, the Gigabyte G5 GD-51US123SO remains a perfect choice for anyone looking to upgrade the system later, thanks to a second M.2 slot and a free slot for a 2.5-inch drive. Once again, you can replace the battery without the need for tools, although it simply provides moderate runtimes. The newest Acer Predator Helios 300 remains our Editors’ Choice for midrange gaming laptops, thanks to a solid feature set, including an 11th Gen., Intel Core i7-11800H processor, an RTX 3060 GPU, and an RGB keyboard. That said, if you need something upgradable down the road, then the Gigabyte G5 GD-51US123SO is an excellent choice.

I think it is tough for us to say that this laptop is not good stuff, because it actually is. For sure, it is not the most powerful gaming laptop available right now, but in terms of value and performance combination, it punches anything else in its category. From the 11th Generation Intel “High-Performance” chip, Ray-Tracing supported GPU, a 144Hz IPS display, and all of those generous other features like the backlit keyboard, tons of ports, and upgrade option, Gigabyte certainly has a winner here. These days as we have low chipset supply everywhere, this 15.6″ Gigabyte G5 GD-51US123SO is very hard to beat.

The dream is still to see a sub Php30,000 gaming laptop capable of playing games at 1080p at a solid frame rate but today, with the GIGABYTE G5 GD showing us that Php50,000 is enough to bring decent gaming performance. GIGABYTE does cut back on things like the case construction and panel but this isn’t saying they’re getting low-quality options. Everything feels just right and most of the shortcomings would be nitpick rather than valid criticism especially given the price. Evidently, it is in gaming where this laptop truly shines. As we test in the maximum detail settings of most games, its nice to see a laptop not buckle and give us very poor framerate. Of course, there are exceptions like Cyberpunk 2077 which at Ultra is a very resource-intensive game.

Find out how to fix the stuttering in games and 3D Applications if you're using a Gigabyte G5 (GD) with the RTX 3050. This video should help you if you're using a Bios Version like FB04, FB95, FB06 or FB07. FB03 works fine aswell on windows 10, but you can't install windows 11 with FB03.
