Gigabyte P35X V3

Ridiculously good gaming performance ; Decent processing speed ; Slim, sturdy exterior ; Reasonable keyboard

Poor battery life ; Screen bettered by other laptops ; Expensive compared to rivals

A sticker on the Gigabyte’s wrist-rest proudly proclaims that Dolby hardware powers the P35X’s pair of 1.5W speakers and single subwoofer. The audio kit is good: the subwoofer pumps up reasonable bass, and the high notes are punchy and full rather than...

Frumpy, heavy chassis; Stiff keyboard with jumpy touchpad; Underwhelming audio ; The Gigabyte P35X v3 serves up serious graphics might and a super-high-res display in a blah design.

The Gigabyte P35X v3 serves up serious graphics might and a super-high-res display in a blah design.

Thin and relatively lightweight chassis, High-quality material impression, First-rate performance, Backlit keyboard, Hot-swap feature, Two mSATA SSDs, Matte 3K screen

Turbo Boost rarely enabled in 3D operation, CPU throttling in full load, Warm casing surfaces, High noise development, Unaesthetic display bezel, Lid falls over easily, Mediocre speakers

Hot and loud: These are the cons of the P35X v3. Gigabyte has not managed to cool the gaming hardware properly. Not really surprising since the chassis has a height of only 21 millimeters (~0.8 inches). That takes us to its biggest asset: There is...

Supremely thin, light, and powerful by notebook gaming standards, every version of the P35X v3 contains the same powerful CPU and graphics solution as today’s top-model test unit

The test unit’s pricey 2880x1620 display seems a little gimmicky for the 15.6” market, with less brightness and contrast than might be expected at this price level. Also, the triple external display output can’t be used in Surround mode, as offered by...

A great gaming notebook with superb portability, the P35X v3 Pro begins to look like an even better value as we consider some of its lower-priced 1920x1080 panel options.

Case sottile e relativamente leggero, Impressione dei materiali di alta qualità, Prestazioni di alto livello, Tastiera retroilluminata, Funzione Hot-swap, Due SSD mSATA, Schermo opaco 3K

Turbo Boost che si attiva raramente nelle operazioni 3D, Throttling della CPU a pieno carico, Superfici del case tiepide, Elevata rumorosità, Cover dello schermo antiestetica, La cover dello schermo cade facilmente all'indietro, Altoparlanti mediocri

Châssis fin et plutôt léger, L'impression premium laissée par les matériaux, Performances de haut rang, Clavier rétroéclairé, Fonctionnalité "hot swap", Deux SSD mSATA, Ecran mat 3K

Turbo Boost rarement utilisé lors d'opérations 3D, Ralentissement du CPU en charge système élevée, Boîtier qui chauffe beaucoup à certains endroits, Nuisances sonores élevées, Contour d'écran très peu esthétique, L'arrière de l'écran bascule...

- Slim form factor - 980M w/ 8GB of VRAM!!! - The ability to swap out the seldom used optical drive for a storage drive with the use of a clever tray.

- 980M is no longer being detected THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS LAPTOP, WAS FOR THE GPU. - Slim form factor lead to poor thermal properties, so in order to compensate the fans would kick on under any load. I knew this coming in, and as long as the...

Great combination of power and portability. I can take this in the job when traveling and it looks professional, then game with it at night.

poor build quality. First one battery died in 2 weeks. Replacement lasted just over 1 year, and now appears to be toast.

Great price and excellent 3D graphics

I bought this unit on Oct.29, 2015 and it failed on Feb. 1, 2016. The unit no longer boots and just sits at the Gigabyte power-on screen and freezes there indefinitely. System failure after just 3 months of use is not a good track record. I'm still...
