I love a good budget gaming laptop, but things are getting more expensive, so it’s tough to find that balance between price and quality, which is one of the reasons I called in the Gigabyte G6X 9KG 2024. Gigabyte produced some great gaming laptops in the past, so the $1,299 price point on this machine caught my attention, but when I finally got my hands on it, I was sorely disappointed
The Gigabyte G6X 9KG 2024 is outfitted with an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics chip that tears through video games at high settings like Wolverine yelling “Stryker.” However, even for a gaming laptop under $1,500, the Gigabyte G6X 9KG is rocking a dull display, unsatisfying keyboard, and poor speakers. I can accept short battery life in an affordable gaming laptop, but its chassis is flimsy as hell.
