The Gigabyte G5 KC is available starting at around 1,000 Euros (~$1,184), and it aims to win gamers' hearts over with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 and very good upgradeability. Our review will reveal how well this works.

As with most of my gaming laptop reviews, I tried to swap the Gigabyte G5 into my daily life and place myself into the vibe of a potential user. I used it for both work and play and really got to know the product. I did regular tasks like writing emails, basic web surfing, and some long-form writing. In the evening I played the Sims 4 on it and a little bit of Cyberpunk 2077 too. Most of the general-use testing I did was with the laptop running on battery power, leaving it to charge to full power before using it till it died to get a better sense of what it would be like relying on the battery when carrying it around. Naturally, our benchmarking tests were conducted with the laptop plugged in for maximum performance.

The Gigabyte G5 is a bit of an oddball – a gaming laptop with a now fairly ancient 10th-Generation Intel CPU that, somehow, I feel able to recommend to plenty of folks. Why? Three key factors are big hits: gaming performance, display quality and pricing. Having a slightly older CPU doesn’t matter that much when, at least for gaming, the GPU is going to provide the performance ceiling. The screen is far more punchy than you might expect, offering excellent colour for a laptop of this grade and above-average brightness. Sure, the speakers are rubbish, battery life is poor and the design may be a bit bland for RGB nuts. But the only big problem here is that this juncture you can often find older, categorically superior gaming laptops on sale at just as compelling prices. It’s a function of the Nvidia RTX 3060 having been around for quite a while at this point.

This laptop nearly checks off every box for what you can possibly look for in a 15-inch gaming laptop. And for the price, it is pretty solid. The CPU and RTX 3060 (with 6GB VRAM) are certainly better than most laptops at this price with the 4GB VRAM RTX 3050. It also packs 16GB of RAM out of the box rather than 8GB, and 512GB SSD rather than 256GB storage. The smooth 144Hz IPS display, RGB backlit keyboard, and plenty of connectors onboard are additional features that many gamers will appreciate. Given the RTX 3060 GPU and the current shipment difficulties of hardware, GIGABYTE G5 KC-5US1130SH is an incredible value for its price. The GIGABYTE G5 KC-5US1130SH has what you need in a 15.6" gaming laptop if you want to have the RTX 3060 and 16GB RAM. We also appreciate its additional features like the 144Hz screen and RGB backlit keyboard.

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.

The G5 KE honestly has just about everything you might be looking for in a budget gaming laptop. We actually have no qualms about recommending this laptop as a solid entry point gaming laptop if you’re looking for a 3060 option. Of course, there is also the G5 ME, a 3050Ti option if you’re looking for an even cheaper alternative, however you’ll also miss out on the Thunderbolt 4 port among other things.

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.

The Gigabyte G5 GE is a well-balanced machine that offers a perfect blend of performance, portability, and productivity. There are a few areas that could be improved. We sorely missed the absence of an HDR option for the screen, and we wished it had a better camera, along with some slightly better-tuned speakers. The overall performance and user experience, makes up for these shortcomings. For avid gamers who do not stream and just want to enjoy some of the most popular games at high frame rates without spending too much, the Gigabyte G5 GE, in the configuration we tested, is more than sufficient. Not once during our gaming sessions or testing sessions did we wish, if only this machine had more to offer in terms of performance.

If you’re from coming last year’s model then there’s really nothing here for you. It is those that are looking to get their first gaming laptop but are dead set on keeping iat around that Php50k price range. Besides the CPU performance improvement as well as battery life, the chassis gains a decent and much needed redesign that can be appreciated more by those looking for a smaller design. Its not the smallest laptop but GIGABYTE really packed this one well. Ultimately, the GIGABYTE G5 GE continues the trend of value offering from this line but still maitaining the GIGABYTE touch with decent performance and quality. Its not alone in this space as its biggest rival is fellow Taiwanese giant Acer whose Nitro line-up sits directly side-by-side with the GIGABYTE G5 GE. Nothing really separates the two but in most occassions, GIGABYTE will have store promotions to give their users a free RAM or SSD upgrade, easily bumping performance and value versus Acer.

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.

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.

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.
