Following the release of the AORUS gaming laptops and AERO creator laptops featuring the RTX 40 series laptop GPUs in the first half of 2023, GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd has now officially introduced the G6 gaming laptop designed specifically for students and casual gamers in anticipation of the back-to-school season. This laptop is equipped with the latest 13th/12th generation Intel Core processors and the highly acclaimed RTX 40 series laptop GPUs.

It caters to various entertainment, work, and learning needs. The 16:10 aspect ratio with a 165 Hz refresh rate gaming display enhances gameplay satisfaction and also aligns well with multitasking creative demands. The compact and lightweight design allows it to fit seamlessly into various environments, ensuring readiness for any task. GIGABYTE is committed to empowering gamers to compete endlessly, thanks to the combination of style and performance!



⁠Enjoy Larger, Smoother, Upgraded Gameplay

Faced with hybrid work environments and multi-screen learning setups, traditional desktop systems are gradually giving way to mobile devices. Gaming laptops are no longer limited to gamers; they have become essential tools for many creators, designers, engineers, and students in related fields. Inheriting the lineage of high-performance entry-level models from the Gaming series, the G6 gaming laptop combines multitasking for documents, entertainment, video editing, photo retouching, and demanding AAA games. With its 16:10 WUXGA thin bezel large screen, it offers an 3% increase in screen real estate compared to traditional 15.6-inch displays. This provides a more immersive gaming experience, larger workspace, ability to manage multiple work windows, tracks, and toolbars, all contributing to enhanced productivity.

⁠The 165 Hz refresh rate significantly reduces screen tearing and motion blur in gaming visuals. This advantage enables gamers to react faster, from aiming and clicking, to executing moves, gaining a competitive edge especially in first-person shooters and competitive gaming.

Mighty, Fearless and Impeccable
The GIGABYTE G6 gaming laptop is powered by up to an 13th generation Intel Core i7 mobile processor, with a maximum clock speed of 4.9 GHz, providing robust multitasking capabilities and high production efficiency. In addition, it can be equipped with up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB GDDR6 graphics, supporting DLSS 3 upscaling technology exclusive to the RTX 40 series. DLSS 3 leverages AI to create additional high-quality frames, providing a smoother visual experience. Additionally, the WINDFORCE cooling system incorporates dual large fans and increased heat dissipation, effectively managing the heat generated for a more comfortable user experience.

⁠Internally, it features dual-channel DDR5 memory and dual-slot SSD storage space, offering high expandability to meet various user application needs. It also integrates next-generation Wi-Fi 6E for fast and stable connections and an RJ45 Ethernet port, ensuring no important battles are missed, providing an excellent balance between work and entertainment.

Accurate Commands, Precise Strikes
Compared to its counterparts in the G5 and G7 series, the G6 laptop exudes a more understated and discreet appearance, indicating its versatility across a wider range of user scenarios. Weighing just 2.3 kg, it harbors formidable power. Furthermore, the G6's screen has been enlarged, and the touchpad has been increased by 59%, enhancing operational flexibility and accuracy. It supports Windows Precision multitouch gestures, ensuring efficiency even in busy multitasking environments.

⁠The keyboard boasts a 15-color backlight, a maximum of 2.0 mm key travel for tactile feedback, and a dedicated numeric keypad for document and programming tasks. It offers a comprehensive set of I/O ports, including USB Type-A, USB-C, HDMI, and a microSD card reader, providing a level of versatility beyond gaming for work tasks. The GIGABYTE G6 gaming laptop, with its lightweight portability, robust performance, and subtle aesthetics, combined with its budget-friendly price for the back-to-school season, delivers unprecedented productivity, multimedia entertainment, and ensures success in every battle, both in life and in gaming.

The G6 gaming Laptop is now available for pre-order through selected channels starting today.

Yeah 2.3kg isn't really light, and offering only Intel means awful battery life, there is no reason for not offering AMD, AMD CPUs are as powerful while consuming less power.

The keyboard layout looks better than most, or at least the part of it shown.
Btu I do wonder why they don't more of the laptop width. There's room. Make the modifier keys a bit wider, and the numpad keys full-size.
