GIGABYTE GAMING LAPTOP

22/12/2022

Nowadays, no one is actually looking for a gaming laptop.

Gaming laptops in 2022 should be able to handle all of the varying needs of the modern gamer, including streaming, video editing, communication, and productivity, in addition to providing dependable gaming performance.

While the most recent 12th-Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors are capable of multitasking at all price points, Nvidia's potent mobile RTX GPUs are required where gaming is the main focus in order to deliver immersive, mouthwatering visuals on par with their desktop equivalents.

For gamers, deciding between a desktop and mobile gaming setup weighs heavily, and the price gap between the two options has significantly decreased as a result of the GPU market. With an RTX 3060 graphics card and equivalent CPU, the cost difference between a gaming laptop and a pre-built gaming PC is minimal, with the desktop option being the most expensive.

That is, of course, without a monitor.

Comparison

The three laptops we're looking at today span the entire price range of gaming laptops, all with RTX graphics cards and high-end 1080p capabilities.

The specifications enable fast editing, design, and rendering from Photoshop to Premiere Pro, Blender to DaVinci Resolve, and beyond for creators and creative laptop users.

Gigabyte Gaming Laptops Compared: Gigabyte AORUS 15P KD 15.6" RTX 3060 vs. Gigabyte AORUS 5 SE4 15.6" RTX 3070 vs. Gigabyte AORUS 17 YE5 17.3" Core i7

While price alone could have separated these laptops (and would have made for a much shorter article), we will also look at their ability to deliver performance in multiple disciplines, as well as how Gigabyte designs their laptops for a variety of users.

The more astute of our readers will also notice that there is no Ryzen at these prices.

Whether this is a decision made by Gigabyte based on current market sentiment (Intel has become the market leader in desktop and mobile gaming thanks to Alder Lake) or on price alone, there are no AMD contenders in our inventory of gaming laptops that fit the bill.
