Reviews for the Gigabyte G5 KF

81.8% Gigabyte G5 KF review: Gaming laptop with RTX 4060 for 969 euros | Notebookcheck
This budget gaming notebook from Gigabyte features an Alder Lake processor and an Ada Lovelace GPU. It also has a PCIe 4.0 SSD (512 GB), 16 GB of RAM and an FHD panel (144Hz), but Windows doesn’t come preinstalled. One serious drawback: the included charger can sometimes be overloaded by the laptop.

I’m not sure I’d actually describe the Gigabyte G5 as a thoroughbred gaming laptop but rather as a general-purpose laptop with good gaming capabilities. That may seem like a pernickety distinction, but I expect dedicated gaming laptops to have better displays and speakers than the G5 and a gaming-optimised keyboard, even if that only extends to highlighted WASD keys and a performance mode shortcut. The G5 is a very versatile and good-value laptop – there’s nothing else on the market with an RTX 4060 GPU at anything like the price – with a broad selection of ports, a decent keyboard and enough performance to play demanding games and chew through heavy productivity tasks in short order. Granted, the screen is rather low-rent and the least said about the speaker system, the better, but what more can you expect for £1,000? However, our preferred budget pick is the MSI GF63 Thin.

85% Gigabyte G5 KF (2023) Laptop Review
Source: Kitguru English
The Gigabyte G5 KF (2023) delivered some very solid results when considering the price. The combination of an RTX 4060 and a 1080p display is a great pairing for gaming and should be able to keep up with the latest titles. In games that support DLSS 3 Frame Generation, that gaming performance can be pushed even further. The performance profile is rather aggressive, leading to the CPU using 75 watts over a sustained workload, which in turn does lead to very high temperatures which may lead to thermal throttling in some situations, but this was observed during synthetic workloads and benchmarks which push the system harder than everyday use. The all-plastic chassis does feel relatively cheap, as does the trackpad. However, they are acceptable when we take the price and specs into consideration as a premium machine, this is not.

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.
