Gigabyte Aorus 5 - 15.6" 144 Hz - Intel Core i7-10750H - GeForce RTX 2060 - 16 GB DDR4 - 512 GB SSD - Windows 10 Home - Gaming Laptop (Aorus 5 KB-7US1130SH) - Only @ Newegg

Pros: - Display: made by LG, a 144Hz with decent color accuracy (NTSC 72% IPS) and brightness and view angle. It is not the best display on the market of course but it is arguably one of the best in its class - Rather lightweight compared to other gaming laptops - Design: the design is elegant, sleek and minimalistic for a gamin laptop with no flashy design (good for people who use it as a dual work/gaming laptop); the laptop is nice to touch and feels and looks premium - Power/ethernet/HDMI ports are in the back and do not clutter the space - Extra slots for adding more storage including an extra M.2 - WiFi 6 chipset - Keyboard has a numpad and is nice to touch but has some flaws (see the cons) - No bloatware pre-installed - Good M.2 SSD pre-installed: SX8200PNP-512GT-S is a decent SSD module in terms of speed

Cons: - Keyboard: it has a bit of learning curve to get used to; the right shift key is small and the arrow keys are jammed into other keys; small home/end/del keys; many accidental key press; it only has limited color backlight with no per-key RGB; the keys are a bit small but that is the price you pay to have numpad I guess; keys are a bit stiff to press but at least they are nice to touch and grippy. It is not a horrible keyboard but it could have been a lot better - Trackpad: mediocre trackpad, a bit laggy and sometimes does not register the taps - Very loud fan noise when it is at full power - Small battery for a gaming laptop, but I understand it was compromise to have various storage slots, so cannot complain too much. For a 2-hour normal use session you can rely on it but for long sessions make sure you carry the charger. - Speakers: forget about base with these speakers, it is loud and clear enough for voice but not music - Webcam: your old Nokia phone probably has a better camera! Good enough for casual use but expect nothing more

Overall Review: This is review of a professional computer user: a programmer and an occasional gamer. I mentioned some cons but do I still recommend it? Absolutely! I bought this on Black Friday sale and it was a bargain. My other options were ASUS TUF A15 and MSI GP65 series. I picked this one mostly because it had NTSC 72% color accuracy while the other two offered NTSC 45% in their base models (the ones with NTSC 72% were more expensive). I also liked the design more than the other ones. I just wish it came with Ryzen 4800H instead of Intel 10750H. But it is still a beast and is packed with very good hardware and you can throw anything add it. If I could change one thing about this laptop that would be its keyboard. Other than that no major complaints especially considering its affordable price.

Pros: - really good screen - expandable memory - nice clean look -good heat solution -small power brick -nahimic

Cons: -nothing bad yet

Overall Review: Good hookups out of the way and on the back of the machine. The I7 can power through apps and software with no problem, and the rtx 2060 pushes even the most challenging games to 120 fps. diablo 3 at max = 144 fps, COD modern warfare sits around 109-126 Fps, assassins creed ody is at 90fps. Cyberpunk runs surprising well on it too. really good computer. I use this as my second PC setup in my bedroom while my main desktop rig is in my Den. Main purpose is a powerful travel laptop that can game and do work with. Some people complain about nahimic, but i think it is a really good tool. When I game, the fans almost immediately run at 80-100%, nahimic drops the fan noise from my mic so my party doesn't hear any back ground noise. It looks really clean and not too flashy. I can use it for work or gaming. The type C on the back goes to my hub for my other devices, so nothing is on the sides.
