Review: Gigabyte P35X v5

Introduction and design

The Gigabyte P35X v5 is a mighty powerful, 15-inch gaming laptop equipped with a 4K display, Intel Core i7 CPU and Nvidia GTX 980M with 8GB of video RAM. With such impressive hardware under the hood, you might have assumed this machine was just another thick performance beast.

However, the P35X is actually slimmer than your average 15-inch laptop, all while looking a bit duller, too. While this laptop won’t turn heads with a gorgeous frame, it’s a downright demon when it comes to 4K gaming.

Design

For a gaming laptop, the Gigabyte P35X v5 is surprisingly unremarkable looking. In fact, the 15-inch notebook appears rather formal, donning a simple black paint job with an anodized aluminum exterior covering the screen lid and keyboard deck.

The underside of the machine is disappointingly made of plastic instead of metal, which would help disperse heat better. But at least it’s not visually obvious and, despite being made of two differing materials, the P35X feels solid throughout and doesn’t creak under pressure.

The thing you’ll notice most about the P35X is how stunningly thin and surprisingly light it is considering its fully-loaded spec sheet.
