A line of gaming laptops from Gigabyte with a versatile design, up-to-date components and support for modern technologies. Unlike the flagship Gigabyte Aero laptops, these laptops belong to the middle class and are positioned as a mobile solution capable of delivering the coveted 60 FPS at medium-high graphics settings in any game blockbusters of 2020-2023 release. According to Steam statistics, it is these gaming devices that are most in demand among most gamers.
Decent gaming performance is provided by a combination of a 6/8-core Ryzen 5/7 processor (Cezanne family, Zen 3 architecture) and a GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q graphics card with 6 GB of video memory and a power consumption limit of up to 130 W. Responsiveness is ensured by 16 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz RAM and a state-of-the-art high-speed 512 GB SSD. In this case, the second RAM slot is free.
As well as an additional M.2 port. Thanks to this, the user can carry out a small memory upgrade in the laptop as in a stationary PC. The proprietary WINDFORCE cooling system is responsible for cooling the components, consisting of two huge fans, four heat pipes and numerous air ducts. All Gigabyte A5 K1 laptops are equipped with good 15-inch IPS-based displays. They stand out for high-quality color reproduction and a record refresh rate of 240 Hz, although 144 Hz only in 2022 became the standard for the gaming market.
To display images in all models, standard IPS displays for the gaming sector are used with a resolution of 1080p and a 144-Hz refresh rate. The optional equipment of this series lives up to its credo of "modern without frills". The list includes a comfortable RGB backlit keyboard, a 2.5 Gigabit network controller with a wireless receiver (Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.2), an HD webcam, and a modern set of connectivity ports (USB-C, HDMI 2.0, mini DisplayPort 1.4).
I bought this laptop after being tempted by the price/performance ratio, and I did not regret it. The laptop copes with all tasks or games. I must note the considerable noise of the cooling system. I had to get used to it. Also, in my opinion, quiet built-in sound. Coupled with the noise of the fans, there may be a need for headphones. Power. Price. The cooling system is noisy. Possibly, a very quiet sound.  Dmiriy: use Gigabyte A5 K1 more than year |
