One of the best value-focused gaming laptops from GIGABYTE ensures that you will have a joyful AAA experience thanks to the internals found inside the GAMING A16 Pro. This powerhouse of a portable machine is available on Amazon in both RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 flavors, and starts from $1,699.99, meaning that you can decide if you wish to pay the premium to get a higher FPS count, or save the money for future RAM and storage upgrades.
The GAMING A16 PRO’s entire chassis is made up of plastic, highlighting GIGABYTE’s cost-saving measures, so you’ll have to be extra careful if you want this gaming laptop to last for years
Sporting a 16-inch IPS LCD display with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution in the 16:10 aspect ratio and a refresh rate and response time of 165Hz and 3ms, respectively, the GAMING A16 Pro offers sufficient vertical screen real estate so you can get more pixel space while gaming, and sufficient viewing area when shifting to productivity mode. The entire build of GIGABYTE’s gaming laptops is made of plastic, so while they aren’t ultra-premium, the chassis isn’t subpar either. You’ll just have to give these machines the utmost care.
The RTX 5080 version is currently retailing for $1,999.99, with both machines sporting a 10-core Intel Core 7 240H CPU. Both GAMING A16 Pro models also come with a 1TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD and 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM as standard. Interestingly, despite GIGABYTE’s insistence on keeping the price low, these gaming laptops feature a MUX Switch, which can grant some extra framerates in games, but a fresh boot is required. There is plenty of I/O, but no Thunderbolt support, which isn’t surprising.
The only other gaming laptop that comes close to the GAMING A16 Pro in terms of pricing is the MSI Vector 16 HX AI. However, it sports a significantly better build quality and is going for $1,799 on Amazon for the RTX 5070 Ti version. For those who will purchase a gaming laptop for the first time, we have highlighted some suggestions in one of our gaming laptop deals on how to lower those toasty temperatures because these machines can run exceptionally hot after just a few minutes of running games.
Remember, excessive heat generation can reduce the lifespan of various components by several years, so it is important to take precautions and exercise the necessary steps before there is a catastrophic failure.
