Title: Gigabyte Gaming A16 Pro review: RTX 5070 Ti meets a slim chassis and some unusual priorities
Post by: Redaktion on March 26, 2026, 12:30:37
With a Core 7 240H, RTX 5070 Ti, and a bright 165 Hz display, the A16 Pro looks like a typical midrange-to-high-end gaming laptop on paper. But despite the gaming label, this 23 mm thin notebook seems to target a different audience.

The title is dishonest. It's a 5070 Ti Laptop and it has 12 GB VRAM; the desktop version has 16 GB VRAM and is also much faster.

I expected Display P3 to be supported. Dull sRGB colors for 2300? Display P3 is sRGB successor since 2015..

2300 for 12 GB VRAM and 32 GB soldered RAM..you decide. Maybe just build a desktop PC instead, it will also provide an upgrade path forward, be repairable, quieter and much faster/cheaper. And for the rest of the money you can get a MacBook Air, if you actually need a notebook to travel with and the Air is also much lighter and quiet, as it has no fans.

For soldered memory one usually expects RAM speeds of 8000 to 9600 MT/s, not the slow 5600 MT/s.

Laptop makers be like: "Add 'Pro' to the product name without justification, increase the price and see if it works."
