The $700 to $800 range for a modern-day gaming laptop will not land you more than a low-powered RTX 4050, but this is not an ordinary time to be a budget gamer, and thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday 2023 deals, you can get an RTX 4060-powered notebook like the GIGABYTE G5 KF for just $749.99. These are just one of those unbelievable deals that we happen to stumble upon, and if you are on a tight budget, you can always make this your driver when it comes to work and gaming.
However, for $749.99, you will obviously need to have realistic expectations from an RTX 4060 gaming laptop, as the GIGABYTE G5 KF features an all-plastic build with no metal parts to help with its durability. You should also note that the laptop features a last-generation Intel Core i5-12500H, which offers four performance cores and eight power efficiency ones, totaling 12. Fortunately, even a last-generation processor will do the job just fine, especially when the G5 KF features an RTX 4060 with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM.
With exclusive technologies such as NVIDIA’s DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation, you can experience a high framerate experience from a 15.6-inch package. The display itself is a 1080p IPS LCD with a refresh rate that goes up to 144Hz. Naturally, to get down to that $749.99 price point, GIGABYTE had to use 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB of PCIe NVMe storage.
Thankfully, both the storage and memory can be upgraded, but we highly recommend upgrading the RAM right now because if you intend to game on this machine, you will benefit immensely from dual-channel memory configurations, with two 8GB DDR4 sticks in each slot, equaling 16GB. Also, if you run into temperature problems in the long run, there are tons of undervolting guides available on the internet, allowing you to tweak both the CPU and GPU to bring down those temperatures.
If you want a slightly more updated gaming laptop from GIGABYTE and you are able to spend $200 on top of the $749.99 amount, you can get the G6 KF for $949.99. It sports a taller 16-inch display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution, up to a 165Hz refresh rate, an improved Core i7-13620H, and twice the RAM at 16GB that is running at faster DDR5 speeds instead of DDR4.
