Gigabyte's G5 (2023) is our favourite budget gaming laptop, so when this Gigabyte G6X 9KG 2024 model arrived at my office, I was really looking forward to testing it out. It has a similar same price as the G5 did when it first launched but the hardware inside has been given a bunch of updates to modernise it.
However, it's not quite a fair comparison, as the G5's true successor is really the Gigabyte G6. So what exactly are we getting with the added X? Put simply, more CPU cores, more power for the GPU, and more battery capacity.
