Hi! Dumb but quick question: I recently purchased this same laptop, it seems nice, but does it have a light indicator in the caps key? Or is it just the screen indicator? It's the first time I see that key without a light indicator. Thanks in advance
@@miscetc-tm2yt GPU power downgraded to 75 watts. Still the laptop gets hotter and noisy. If you don't have budget issue, go for a full powered(at least 100+ watt) rtx 4060 laptop. To be honest, softwares actually not provided by gigabyte official as I guess. So, you won't get long time driver updates. If you are a simple user and can upgrade the thermal paste. Go for it. Stock paste is worst. Not a wide community talking about its issues and officials are not interested ro answer.
@@DelayedNeutronss good machine as budget gaming laptop. You can't expect much. Without the over heating issue and the second SSD slot problem, it's a pure loving toy.
@@MohammadAsifulHoque Should I go for Acer Nitro 5 then? or Acer Nitro v15? I am little bit confused. It's not budget for me 😢😢. Laptops are very expensive in my country.

I am getting driver_irql_not_less_or_equal left right and center with this laptop, I was running hell divers and crashed a lot, switched to other basic games like counter strike and halo infinite and still crashed. If you have any suggestions id love to hear how to fix this error from happening with this device.
There is a reg keyboard filter that causes BSOD. I head the same problem for 6 months, after I followed this steps newer chased again. The only fix I've found is to just disable HKKbdFltr from being used (It's the driver that is actually at fault). If you want to do this, go into the registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\. Right click on the Class folder and select Export so that you have a backup. Now expand the Class folder, click on Class and do Ctrl+F to search because this string is annoying to find manually. Search for "4d36e96b-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318" and it should move to this folder and it should look like this (Ignore the non-english parts). The Data field of the UpperFilters registry should look like this on your machine: "HKKbdFltr kbdclass". If it does, right click on it, select Modify and remove "HKKbdFltr" so that it just says kbdclass. Restart the PC and see if you still crash.
Does run a little hot too, aspecially on performance mode. It's a beast if it can stay cool, otherwise it goes into thermal throttling. It shows 97c here playing resident evil, i think this was normal mode in the video? Because with resident evil my G5 with a 12500h CPU goes up to 100c (TJmax for thois CPU) in Performance mode and the great 133 FPS drop down to 25 in this case because the CPU goes to hot. I try to figure out if this ist normal on this laptop, or if my 3 month old laptop has maybe bad thermal paste etc. running into thermal throttling in Performance mode. I have the G5MF version with a RTX 4050 and i5 12500h 2,5ghz CPU 82,5 without turbo).
Is that dynamic rgb keyboard effects can use? In this lap there is no feature for keyboard effect like breathing, wave like that. I want that effect settings how can i enable that effect atleast any third party apps is there for enable?

Is this even good i have seen many peoples are saying that it's not good in terms of build quality and poor motherboard? My friend has one of this which has 12450h and 4050. 🤔 I'm thinking of buying it for my self because it's kinda cheap but i don't see a good trusted website to buy this. The one Amazon and Flipkart has on their website has no reviews from peoples so I'm kinda afraid of buying it. I searched for it on offline store butgot the 12650h 4050 model... Which is a bit costly. And the 12650h becomes super hot on this. So i want 12450h for a optimal performance which is also cheaper. 🗿Or i might just wait for a little bit and buy something crazy. I'm talking about the strix halo laptop with 32 cu igpu model. That's basically a 4050 on a laptop without dlss.
