Would be great to hear from others on this laptop as it was the best I could find for the price at $1,599.00.

I'm interested in getting this Gigabyte gaming laptop. It seems like it has good parts/specs but I'm not an expert. Is this a good deal or are there issues with the laptop? Are there better deals?

  I think it looks like an OK but perhaps a bit expensive. Harvey Norman had Acer Nitro 5 laptops for around $1000 or $1200 with the same (or similar?) CPU and the same GPU (but likely a lower TGP).

  Build quality will be average but if you don’t mind that it’s not too bad. Also check if it’s the full 3060

  Avoid this chassis, poor quality, overheating.
