Gigabyte is a leading computer component and peripheral manufacturer that started off designing PC motherboards. After becoming one of the largest motherboard vendors, Gigabyte has expanded its business to graphics cards, gaming mice, monitors, and more. Gigabyte’s A5 series of laptops are designed for gamers with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU alongside a powerful GPU and other gamer-oriented features.
The Gigabyte A5 X1 is designed primarily for gaming. A lot of power hides underneath the bulky design, including a capable AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 gaming GPU. Furthermore, the laptop offers 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 512 GB of fast PCIe SSD storage. The laptop comes also with a variety of connections. Peripherals can be connected with several USB ports (USB 2.0, USB 3.2 Gen1, and USB 3.2 Gen2). In addition, displays are supported via HDMI 2.0 as well as mini DisplayPort and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. Network connections can be made with either Ethernet or Wi-Fi 6.
Gaming benefits from a fast and good display panel, which the A5 X1 has, too. The 15.6" anti-glare panel offers thin bezels that don’t distract from the action on the screen, and IPS technology for better color reproduction. The display features Full HD resolutions and supports up to 240 Hz refresh rate for smoother gaming even in fast-paced action games like Overwatch 2. The keyboard on the A5 X1 is backlit with 15 color settings adding to the gaming aesthetic.
