I use this laptop for gaming. It's fast and performs at a high level. I love it!!

Delivery is ground so it is slow. The laptop is great and double boxed so porch pirates have no idea what it is.

Shipped in. I was super excited. It was very beautiful. It started and I went to go through all the windows installing everything made sure all the software is and firmwares were all downloaded looked at the beautiful RTX 5080 it was showing up in device manager.Was super excited to play some games. Just did some web browsing setting up my email and everything on it.Closed the laptop, came back 10 minutes later opened it. It was super hot and the laptop had bricked itself.Didn't even get to really use it at all. $3,300 and customer support was unhelpful at GB I went through the whole technical customer service call (was on hold for an hour) and they told me to do all the usual things and told me to return it. Customer service at gigabytes said it would take over a month for them to do anything with it so I should just get it refunded at Amazon. Amazon couldn't replace it and there was no other options to replace it. I would have loved to given another review with another unit but the only option I was given was a refund.Sucks, was really excited to see what gigabyte had to offer and immediately gave me a bricked $3,300 laptop.Was going to update this review if another one came in but sadly won't have that option it seems.

The Processor runs twice as fast as the 4090 graphics card.I think that would means that the the laptop should be able to push games for the next 10 years. Laptop runs Battlefield 2042 @ 125 to 175 FPS with full settings. Looks and plays great.5*
