Gaming LaptopProduct Gallery
Product Overview
The 2021 Gigabyte G5 is an affordable 15.6-inch gaming laptop powered by 10th-gen Intel Core CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. It sports a FHD IPS display with 240Hz refresh rate and 72% coverage of the NTSC color space.
As a bulkier model, the Gigabyte G5 comes with half the battery size of the 2021 AORUS 15G and AERO 15, de-prioritizing portability.
Nevertheless, the 2021 Gigabyte G5 features a 15-zone RGB backlit keyboard and a unique 2.5-inch HDD bay.
As part of a new series slotted below the AORUS and AERO models, the G5 is unveiled alongside the Intel-powered G7 and AMD-powered A5 and A7 at CES 2021.

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Gigabyte G5 KC can run modern games smoothly and at high detail levels. Even in demanding games, the frame rates are always above 60 fps as long as the game is played in Full HD resolution. The built-in GeForce RTX 3060 doesn't make use of the maximum possible TGP, but it also delivers good results.

- High-quality case
- 144 Hz refresh rate
- Good battery life
Cons
- High temperatures under load
