GIGABYTE P25W Pro Reviews

A 15.6-inch laptop with Full HD support, and plenty of power is an invitation for gaming on-the-go. The screen is very bright, and its color reproduction is very good. Alongside the moderate weight of 2870 grams, the P25W is perfectly suitable for mobile gaming. Other premium-range laptops often weigh far over 3.5 kilograms. Besides that, the configuration of an Intel Core i7-4700MQ, and a GeForce GTX 770M is very well-chosen. The casing also makes a high-quality impression. However, a few minor issues became apparent during the tests, which were annoying in their sum. The proprietary SmartManager is a good idea for controlling energy settings, volume or screen brightness, but Smart Cooling nullifies everything that is appreciated in a modern laptop. Although the system runs with a fairly low noise when this feature is enabled, the performance is only on the level of a multimedia laptop. When Smart Cooling is disabled, the P25W is quite loud and warm due to its higher speed. The laptop is a powerful gaming machine with a great screen, and decent battery runtimes when SmartManager is deleted, or the user comes to terms with it.

The GIGABYTE P25W is an excellent choice for a gaming machine, though it's a bit on the costly side. The system is available through Amazon for $1849 at the time of writing.
