The 16-inch IPS panel runs at 1920 x 1200 pixels in a 16:10 aspect ratio, giving you more vertical space than a standard widescreen for documents, code and game interfaces. A 165 Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth in shooters and racing games, while the anti-glare surface cuts reflections. Brightness is rated at 300 cd/m², and four-sided slim bezels keep attention on the picture.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 comes with 8 GB of GDDR7 video memory and can draw up to 115W, giving it plenty of headroom for current games at the panel's native resolution. A MUX Switch, managed through GIGABYTE GiMATE, lets you route output straight from the discrete GPU for higher performance, or switch to the integrated graphics when you want longer battery life.
The eight-core AMD Ryzen 7 260 boosts up to 5.1 GHz and handles gaming, streaming and multitasking comfortably. Memory is 16 GB of DDR5 at 5600 MHz in a single module, with a second SO-DIMM slot free for expansion. Storage starts with a 512 GB SSD, and two M.2 slots (PCIe Gen4x4 and PCIe Gen4x2) let you add a second drive later.
Heat is managed by WINDFORCE INFINITY EX cooling, with dual Frost fans that each have 134 blades, plus 3D VortX air channelling to maximise airflow. Gigabyte's Icy Touch design is intended to keep the surfaces under your hands cool during long sessions, so the laptop stays comfortable to use while the CPU and GPU work hard.
The backlit Golden Curve keyboard uses larger keycaps and a tuned force curve for quiet, comfortable typing and gaming. The layout is US English. An enlarged touchpad improves control when you're away from a mouse, and Dolby-powered surround sound adds depth to games and films. An FHD 1080p IR webcam handles video calls.
A 76 Wh four-cell lithium-ion battery powers the laptop, charged with the included 150W adapter. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5.2, while an RJ-45 Ethernet port gives a stable wired connection for online gaming and an HDMI port connects an external monitor or TV. The 180° hinge lets the screen fold flat, and the laptop weighs 2.20 kg.
This model suits gamers who want RTX 5060 performance and a high-refresh screen, as well as students and creators who value a 16:10 display and room to upgrade memory and storage. It ships with DOS, so it appeals to buyers who already own a Windows licence or prefer to install their own operating system, such as Linux.
