GIGABYTE - G6X (2024) Gaming Laptop - 165Hz 1920x1200 WUXGA - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 - Intel i7-13650HX - 1TB SSD with 16GB DDR5 RAM - Win11 Home AD (G6X 9KG-43US854SH) RTX 4060|i7-13650HX|16GB RAM|1TB

Laptop was broken from the start. It seemed to boot ok when I first turned it on, but shortly into the initial setup process the screen turned black. Every once in a while it would come on long enough for me to type a few letters, then it would go out again. After 4 or 5 times of this, it stopped coming back on. I tried hooking up an external monitor, plugging/unplugging, and rebooting, but no luck. I didn't even make it past the microsoft login. Now I have to box it back up for return and potentially wait up to 30 days for a refund (according to the amazon page during the return process). Meanwhile, I feel like I should be getting paid for my wasted time

I marked 5 stars but it should be 4.5. The only issue I have, and it’s a small one, is the start up time. Other laptops I have had start up as soon as you hit the power button or move the mouse. This one takes about 20 seconds. Still not bad at all. But every other thing has been fantastic. Like I said, the gripe is a minor one.

The laptop is great and the fans I can barely hear even at high speed which is great.. the performance is great the durability is great the value for your money not so great could be lower for what you get no touch screen and the graphics are great.. there are cheaper options which will yield you a decent performance or a similar performance

Had this laptop for two years, since then I've refrained from leaving a long term review until now Let's not overexcite ourselves. Understand what this Laptop is. It is a portable powerhouse for the AVERAGE consumer. This is a great laptop. Will it replace your midrange to high end desktop? No. With that being said, for a mobile unit this thing is solid. Quick and snappy even underload. I've edited videos at 1080, used photoshop and recorded videos and it has never felt slow. Keyboard is rubbery and build is plastic. All the money went to the MOBO, CPU and GPU. Looks like a government laptop, so I guess it's a plus if you wanna deter people. Gaming: if you're coming from ancient hardware, this thing is a god send even at 4gb Vram. Ignore the 8GB+ elitist max graphics snobbery (low settings now a days look great). Plays the latest titles at 1080 and 1440 60fps depending on the game pretty reliably. If you're playing less demanding games that I do like Genshin and Star Rail, Apex, etc. this goes max settings at 60 all day NO frame dips! You do have to tune your settings to make it run right which takes time (driver updates, BIOS, CPU OC/Turbo boost etc, task manager) WHAT IT'S NOT FOR: If you're a software engineer or AI creator or something demanding, don't buy this. It's not meant for you since it will not allow you the GPU bandwidth. Also, if you're going to max out a 2024+ triple A game on this, lower your expectations because it won't do it very well. If you know what you're using this for and know that you can absolutely game on this with some compromises, this is as good as it gets since you can do everything from content creation, editing, business tasks, gaming, internet surfing AND be portable. THINGS TO NOTE: battery sucks - don't expect to leave it unplugged for long, laptops run HOT so a good quality laptop cooler is HIGHLY recommended to extend the life of your laptop (Genshin max settings saw 90*c temps on CPU and GPU, IETS laptop cooler reduced to 60-70 with same settings), LOUD laptop fans while gaming (I wear headphones so doesn't matter lol). Two years later and it never gave me any issues. Runs like a dream and does what I ask it to. 4 stars because it needs to be constantly plugged in

Cons: Typical Windows setup. On initial boot up, wants you to connect to internet and asks you to sign up for Xbox game pass - before you even see the desktop for first time. Have to change a million settings to DO NOT share data or send info to Microsoft. Once you get to desktop, it goes into Windows updates and driver updates. Computer is fine after 8 reboots. Case is hard plastic. It feels sturdy enough. I agree with other reviews, it shows fingerprints easily. Speakers are on the back of the laptop, pointed away. Really weird, feels like the sound is coming from underneath my desk. Pros: Monitor & screen resolution are great! It’s fast with the built in 16gb ram. I may upgrade at some point, but it feels fast enough for now. I like the backlit keyboard, has about 12 colors to choose from. The WiFi adapter was better than I expected, was able to play games lag free over WiFi. Summary: The fan gets loud only when playing demanding games. It’s not a pro or con, IMO it’s just normal for a gaming laptop. I did plenty of research for best gaming laptop at the lowest price and am happy with this purchase.
