Reviews for the Gigabyte G5 MF
Source: 91mobiles
The Gigabyte G5 MF, priced at around Rs 65,000, is an excellent choice for those who want a performance-focused machine. Its superior gaming performance with the RTX 4050, robust CPU with additional e-cores, and comprehensive I/O ports make it a strong contender in its price range. Although aggressive and gaming-oriented, the design of the laptop has some practical features, like a full-size keyboard with backlighting and several I/O ports, that make the device more user-friendly. The colour accuracy is not high, which makes it unsuitable for working with tasks that require an accurate colour presentation, although it’s way more than enough for a smooth gaming experience and consumption of content. A typical average trade-off for high-performance gaming in a laptop is the battery life, but it’s one that many gamers will be more than willing to make, given this laptop’s performance credentials.

In conclusion, is the Gigabyte G5 MF worth it? Well, no, definitely no. When writing this review, it is the cheapest option to get an RTX 4000 series GPU in a budget gaming laptop. However, due to its poor cooling solution and lack of BIOS updates, the laptop’s performance is terrible, beaten by gaming laptops from 4 years ago. During gaming, the laptop starts to overheat after the first ~5 minutes or so. Since the cooling solution can’t handle the components inside, it fixes this by heavy throttling, dropping the performance to under 30 fps, making some games unplayable even on low graphical settings. Combined with the poor-quality chassis, mediocre display, loud fans and terrible speakers, the Gigabyte G5 MF is a hard pass.

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.
