Best Buy is still putting out tons of Black Friday deals and this includes a sale on the Gigabyte G5 gaming laptop. Normally the Gigabyte G5 laptop retails for $1,099.99 but because it’s on sale for Black Friday it’s been discounted down to $799.99. So you save $300 and get a machine that will provide some pretty good performance for games.
One of the biggest features here is the NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU inside. Because the G5 comes with a 40-series GPU it has support for NVIDIA DLSS 3. And that’s going to make a big difference for games. You’ll still need to manage your graphics settings to find a quality level that fits with the laptop’s components. But with DLSS 3 you can potentially up certain quality settings and still see decent frame rates. Speaking of frame rates the display on this laptop has a 144Hz refresh rate. It’s also 15.6-inches in size and has a resolution of 1080p. At that resolution you should be able to crank the graphics up to high depending on the game.
Now the laptop isn’t super thin but it only weighs about 4.6 pounds so it’s not too heavy. And that should make it suitable for portability. The upside to it not being too thin is that it has a built-in LAN port for an ethernet connection. So if you want a more reliable internet speed for game downloads or game streaming, you can jack this into a router. And that’s going to be a huge benefit when using it for gaming at home. You can snag this deal from the link below but don’t wait too long since the sale may not last through the week.
