hi there, what is the consensus of Gigabyte gaming laptops ?
-Are they known to be well made?
-What about the matte ips screen ? is it as pretty as Ideapad 700 ?

Seriously considering the P55G V5.

any help greatly appreciated

Some model single fan...

Gigabyte P55G:

Pros:
72% NTSC AHVA IPS (Ideapd 700 is lower. Forgotten is 50% or 60%)
dual 2.5" Harddisk slot
Pre-load 8G DDR4 Memory
Intel 8260AC Wireless


Cons:
Yes single Fan. But it could be get rid by fan boost it

thank you. any opinions on the battery life ? I'm very concern.

Gaming laptop u hv to plug in to use the dedicated graphics card la...

N normal gaming laptop giv u bout 4-5hrs..n pls check it use lithium aa or lithium ion.. huge difference

hi again. thanks a lot. don't know what type of battery. but P55W uses Li-Ion. is that ok?

oh, and do you mean I can disable dedicated graphic cards for 2D applications?

Lithium ion is basic de lo.. need see how many cells too..

Yes u can.. but wat I means is nobody crazy enuf to use dedicated graphics card on battery mode...battery very fast Kong...

thanks for the warning. 6 cells i think. got 2 year warranty.

why don't have i7 6700hq laptop without gpu ?

dun think any.. haha

Now adays most nvidia embended laptop does have Optimus tech.
Means by default the CUDA GPU disabled if u doesnt do any game or video. Thats allow u work longer on battery

thanks babeh. it is appalling that no gaming notebook manufacturers ever thought of making a "battery dock" or something for extra battery power. it won't be so bad even if they make the battery removable

Yes there is a model of gaming laptop that have veeeery high battery capacity
94Wh

sounds expensive hehe. the new gigabyte?

Yap Aero 14

what is the spec of P55G V5? Price?

Yes. I'm using Gigabyte P34W V3 since 2015, it travel many countries with me and have been my workhorse over 2 Computex with mass video production.

It's also my mobile gaming rig (Core i7 4th gen, GTX 970M).

Sent to Tech Armory for servicing just a few months ago, now it's like brand new other than the cosmetic wear and tear.

hi...normally buy laptop i will look for how many reseller & services centre in malaysia coz if any problem i can send to them at any location i am.

good advise
