The Gigabyte A5 comes with a commendable balance of price and performance, featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and an Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, which makes it suitable for gaming and other intensive tasks such as 3D rendering or engineering software. It has a 15.6-inch IPS display with a high refresh rate, great for fast-paced action but with a standard 1080p resolution. Portability is modest due to its battery life which supports typical usage for around 6.5 hours and its weight of 4.68 pounds. It has a backlit keyboard with a number pad and multiple USB ports including USB-C, but lacks Thunderbolt support. The laptop is a gaming model, yet it doesn't compromise on build quality and has a sturdy feel. It runs on Windows 11 Home and was released in early 2022, making it a fairly recent model equipped with up-to-date hardware. Give Feedback
