Pros and Cons

GIGABYTE G6

Strengths

GIGABYTE has picked out the best components for your gaming laptop within the scope of being like a budget-friendly laptop.
The right CPU and GPU combination provides great performance without breaking the bank.
A 75W RTX 460 with 8GB video RAM is perfect for high resolutions such as 1920x1200.
A 16:10 display with 165Hz refresh rate is ideal for gaming, providing a smooth experience.
The laptop comes with two DDR5 slots and two M.2 slots, allowing for flexible storage options.
Wi-Fi 6E and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, mini DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, audio jacks, and micro SD card slot) make it easy to connect peripherals.

Weaknesses

The display could be brighter with around 250 nits, which is relatively typical for this price point.
Battery life is limited, lasting around 4 hours due to the Intel 12/13th gen CPUs' power-hungry nature.
The keyboard is full-size, which can take up some space on the laptop's deck.
The trackpad's offset placement can be a bit clunky with the full-size keyboard in place.
No mention of how well the cooling system performs under heavy loads or prolonged gaming sessions.
Some may find the weight of 2kgs (4.4lbs) to be slightly above average for a laptop of this size.

Weaknesses

Battery life might not be enough for heavy power users
No SD card reader which is a minor disappointment
Wobbly hinge which is a huge disappointment in an otherwise excellent built quality
Performance might not be exciting, especially for demanding tasks
Upgrade to 155H or 165H models or AMD siblings might be necessary for more power
