Gigabyte G5 KE Review: Midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes

Clevo in Gigabyte's clothing. Gigabyte's foray into the Indian market kicks off with the midrange G5 series. The G5 KE is based on a Clevo design and shares similar specs as the larger G7 KE including an Intel Core i5-12500H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, and a 144 Hz display. While the Gigabyte G5 KE gets most of the gaming basics right, buyers will have to contend with compromises in other areas.

Gigabyte offers several laptop classes based on performance and budget. While the Aorus and Aero series are targeted at premium gaming and content creation segments, the traditional Gigabyte variants such as the G5 and G7 are aimed at a more mainstream gaming audience.

We have previously reviewed the 17.3-inch Gigabyte G7 KE and now we get to test the 15.6-inch Gigabyte G5 KE with largely similar specifications.

Our Gigabyte G5 KE unit comes equipped with an Intel 12th gen Core i5-12500H processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, 16 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 15.6-inch 144 Hz IPS panel.

This configuration will set you back by ₹94,990 (US$1,155) in the Indian market. In this review, we take the Gigabyte G5 KE for a spin and see if it can match up to its peers from the midrange gaming segment.

Chassis: Primarily plastic with some flex

The Gigabyte G5 KE's construction is on expected lines in this price range. It is essentially a Clevo design that is fully plastic in construction with smooth, matte surfaces with some subtle accents on the back of the lid and on the touchpad.

At 23.9 mm, the G5 KE's thickness is similar to its competition in this segment while being considerably thinner than the Gigabyte A5 K1.

The G5 KE's chassis is not the most rigid one we've seen — there is considerable flex under pressure in the keyboard deck and the lid can give into twisting. However, users aren't likely to expereince this in everyday use.

Opening the 13 Philips screws reveals the internals. The DDR4 RAM, WLAN card, and SSDs can be swapped out and upgraded if needed.

Connectivity: Adequate port selection and stable Wi-Fi

The G5 KE offers a well-rounded port selection with a combination of USB Type-A and Type-C ports including Thunderbolt 4. The presence of a mini-DisplayPort 1.4 in addition to HDMI 2.1-out helps with easy hookup to 4K displays with high refresh rates.

The ports don't pose any hindrance while connecting multiple devices. A dedicated mic-in port — a rarity these days — comes in handy for connecting high quality microphones, or it can be reconfigured to support multi-channel audio.

The microSD card read speeds could have been better, but the G5 KE does not have much competition in this aspect.

The 720p webcam shows large color deviations and images lack overall sharpness. It should still be serviceable for the odd video call or two.

ColorChecker Gigabyte G5 KE: 10.28 ∆E min: 2.33 - max: 15.33 ∆E

Input Devices: Full-size arrow keys

The chiclet keyboard offers decent travel and actuation. However, typing feels somewhat mushy and the tactile feedback is a bit lacking. Full size arrow keys allow for comfortable navigation across documents and spreadsheets.

The RGB backlight can be adjusted in four steps. This is not a multi-zone RGB keyboard, but some customization is possible via the Control Center 3.0 software.

The 12 cm x 7.5 cm touchpad is roomy enough, supports Windows Precision gestures, and offers a good gliding experience with minimal resistance. The whole surface acts as a left mouse button. The clicks have short travel and good tactility.

Display: Poor color gamut coverage with high response times and no PWM

The Gigabyte G5 KE's 1080p 144 Hz Chi Mei panel is starting to show its age at this point. We've seen this panel before in the 2021 Gigabyte G5 GD and Asus TUF Gaming F15 FX506HM. The competition has moved on to better panels with a much wider color gamut coverage.

Brightness distribution is decent at 85%, but the color gamut range is poor for a 2023 laptop with an sRGB coverage of just about 61%.

Our calibration routine using the X-Rite i1Basic Pro 3 spectrophotometer and Calman Ultimate color calibration software from Portrait Displays results in a significantly improved Grayscale Delta E 2000 value.

However, there is not much scope for improving the ColorChecker values. The 100% Blue and 100% Magenta colors contribute to large deviations in color accuracy.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
18.65 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 10.83 ms rise
18.65 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 7.82 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
26.64 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12.52 ms rise
26.64 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 14.12 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 27 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM not detected
		≤ 100 cd/m² brightness
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18925 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Display response times, especially the 50% grey to 80% grey transitions, are a bit on the higher side for a gaming laptop. We observed no PWM at all tested brightness levels.

Refer to our article on PWM and also our ranking table for more information and comparisons across tested devices.

Outdoor viewing is legible as long as there's no direct sunlight falling on the screen. There is loss of brightness and color information at extreme viewing angles.

Performance: Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 combo throws no major surprises

Gigabyte offers the G5 in two variants: the G5 KE and the G5 ME featuring the 12C/16T Intel Core i5-12500H CPU. While the G5 KE offers an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, the G5 ME makes do with an RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU and lacks a Thunderbolt 4 port.

The G5 KE offers four performance modes as detailed in the table below:

Performance Mode	PL1 (PBP) / Tau	PL2 (MTP) / Tau
Quiet	15 W / 8 s	30 W / 2.44 ms
Power Saver	30 W / 8 s	30 W / 2.44 ms
Entertainment	50 W / 28 s	115 W / 2.44 ms
Performance	115 W / 80 s	135 W / 2.44 ms

We used the Performance profile for all benchmarks while battery tests were run in the Power Saver mode. Clevo's Control Center 3.0 allows selection of various performance profiles and fan speed settings.

Processor

The G5 KE's Core i5-12500H is in close proximity to the one in the G7 KE and also to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H in the XMG Core 15 (M22) in cumulative CPU scores. However, it lags behind by 15% compared to the Core i7-12700H in the Asus TUF Gaming F15.

Sustained performance in our Cinebench R15 multi-core loop test is fine for the most part save for a minimal momentary drop in scores in the middle of the run.

The included Gigabyte 512 GB NVMe SSD suffers from severe throttling

Our G5 KE unit came with a 512 GB Gigabyte NVMe SSD. However, we find the 1 TB variant of this drive in the G7 KE to score better in almost every regard. The SSD suffers drastic throttling in our DiskSpd read loop test.

A second NVMe SSD can be installed, but there's no scope for adding a 2.5-inch SATA drive.

Gaming Performance

The Gigabyte G5 KE's gaming performance is similar to other RTX 3060-based laptops we've tested and even manages to overtake the G7 KE with the same configuration in several games.

We noticed no perceivable frame drops while stressing the laptop with The Witcher 3 at 1080p Ultra.
