GIGABYTE P37X Pro Reviews

If you choose the Gigabyte P37X, you'll get a superb gaming laptop that's a bit thinner and lighter than most. Just keep the headphones handy or play where you can crank up the audio to kill the fan noise.

The Gigabyte P37X is built for gaming speed, based on a large 17-inch display chassis but in a thinner than traditional case. With the help of the best single-chip mobile graphics processor currently on the market it can play any game you want, up to very high rendering quality. It may not stand out in style but it gets the job done, albeit at a high price.

Jump to Section: Best Price Comments The issue of the noisy fans put me off awarding the P37X a higher score. Although other gaming laptops are also noisy, in this case it could really get in the way of the enjoyment of your games, undermining the otherwise excellent experience made possible by the powerful hardware. With the frame rate capped at 30 fps, you might find performance struggles sometimes if you quieten the fans, leaving all that gaming potential untapped. That's a decision best left to the buyer. If you buy a P37X, you won't have any problems running games, but it's worth choosing a retailer with a good returns policy, since the noise may or may not be a distraction too far. The only way to find out is to try it first.
