Consumer review (newegg.com)

Slim and fast

 

I replaced the 128GB SSD with a Samsung EVO 850 500GB and everything runs blazing fast. Mine came with 8GB of G.Skill F3-1866C10S-8GRSL, so I installed a second stick without any issues. Eventually I will repaste the CPU/GPU with IC7 to bring down the...

- Incredibly fast CPU/GPU - Matte screen with nice viewing qualities - Bottom panel is removable for easy access - Thin, light, and not ugly like most gaming laptops - No bloatware

- Gets hot fairly quick - Keyboard isn't bad, but isn't great - The touchpad buttons aren't split (they sort of bend at the edges) - Faint light bleed at certain angles when the screen is totally black

Nice, but weight not as advertised

 

Powerful for the size

Actually weighs 4.2 pounds, instead of the 3.57 advertised. This is not acceptable. Throttling when playing games

HOT Slim and Sexy Beast of 14" machine

 

Love the machine and would recommend it if the power button would work consistently but it is heart ache.

- Awesome performance - Battery Life is a lot better than expected. I am able to play games on high performance for more than an hour and do work for around 4+ hours - Great look. I like the simplicity of the flat black - I was worried about the arrow...

- Biggest complaint is the power button and the only real one. First time getting this laptop it wouldn't turn on. After a while an repetitive panic of pushing the power it came on. After that, often times I press the button and the fan kicks on but...

Better than expected

 

So far I have not encountered anything serious that would make me want to return this laptop. At the price I paid for it ($1099) its an absolute steal! I should also note that the speakers were surprisingly good; base was good considering they are so...

Very Mobile -- Super light considering its power Gaming Ready -- Using Nvidia's optimizer, it preset Fallout 4 to ultra settings and held a solid 60fps! (~200fps in LoL maxed out) Solid Construction -- I was most surprised by the construction... Its...

Keyboard -- Not the best keyboard I have seen. Very clicky with not much linear travel. (you will need to get used to this) Software -- Applications become blurry because of the software. This is probably fixable so take this "con" lightly. Charger --...

GIGABYTE P34Wv4-BW1T

 

Overall I am satisfied thus far with this purchase. I mainly use it for projects on Premiere and Photoshop.

Amount of power crammed into 14in laptop is amazing! Primary mSata drive is really fast. Lightning quick boot up time. I am able to start working relatively quick. The screen is sharp, even when viewing from outside during the day.

The fans can be quite noisy when the laptop gets hot. And it seems to heat up quite easily when you have multiple apps running. There still is more room to place the PgUp, PgDn, Home, and End keys somewhere else instead on having to really on the...

Pleasantly surprised

 

I considered cancelling the order when I saw the new Dell XPS 15 (9550) on sale for a little more. I'm pretty picky and assumed the Gigabyte build quality wouldn't be up to par. Ultimately, I decided to give the Gigabyte a shot and I'm glad I did....

Build quality and screen are much better than I expected. I'm used to IPS touch screens of ipads and windows convertibles and was expected to be disappointed with the matte screen. I was wrong. The screen is sharp, viewing angles are great, colors look...

Keyboard - I wish they would have put page up, page down, home, end keys to the right of the keyboard instead of forcing "Fn" + direction keys. There's room for it. Also, the keyboard is a little noisy (clicking sounds). 128GB for a primary Windows...

Great

 

I believe this company is doing great things. Reviews on the internet show promise. However, these multiple screen problems make me re-think my decision.

Thin and mostly solid design. Competitive price for the features. Able to upgrade some components in the future.

Screen is broken with vertical lines on the left right out of the box. This is probably due to the fact that the box was nearly destroyed in shipping. Inside could have had better packing besides some paper. Also, the box the actual laptop is packaged...

Like a Discounted Razer Blade.

 

I got it for $1099. Great bargain!

The laptop is powerful, amazingly for a 14' laptop. The heating problems is not as bad as it sounds- I live in a cold environment. Its a cute laptop with a monster laying inside.

The build quality is plastic, but if you maintain the quality- it will stay swell.

Won't even boot !

 

If this was a working piece I would have given it some more time to try out and see where do we go with the heat and smell. But at the moment, I am sending it back to Gigabyte. Won't buy any laptop from Gigabyte again.

This laptop has amazing specs to it. I think its a steal deal at 1100. But doesn't justify the cons.

I got this today and it won't even boot. Stuck at the windows boot screen with a gigabyte logo. The fans makes excessive noise and since the back of the laptop is made of cheap plastic it smells bad too. Most important of all, the way it generates...
