Gigabyte A5 X1 Gaming Laptop Review - 2021

There was less or non existing review for this specific Gigabyte A5 X1 Gaming Laptop when I was looking for a powerful laptop that will last 3 to 5 years before I'll be looking to buy again. Then I bought this laptop since this is the laptop that I've been looking for, it's not perfect but it can still be upgraded the SDD and memory since this only 16GB. I've taken a video recordings of resource hungry games for you to check out.

What I like so far: Laptop performance in both games and applications.
What I don't like, although minor: SDD space, smudge magnet and keyboard is not that responsive when gaming. Sometimes, when the laptop sleep, when you try to work on the laptop it won't give you a display that I have to force shutdown and restart which is kind of annoying.

If you are looking for more value in performance but doesn't care about the looks I think this is the laptop for you. For a 3070P graphics and Ryzen 9 processor this is a great deal for its tag price comparing it to ROG equivalent specifications.
