No, Not really. You will want to drop the game resolution down to 1080p for most demanding titles.

It's funny, I haven't been in the PC market for ages so I hadn't heard of Gigabyte until recently when they were attacked on the Chinese social media site Weibo by the Communist Youth League. You can read the story here [scmp.com] and here [notochina.org].

Gigabyte posted on its own Web site a legitimate marketing message that simply mentioned that their laptops were manufactured in Taiwan and not China, and that they were proud of the quality control there.

These impish young people in China, with the full backing of the Chinese Communist Party, were offended that Gigabyte would dare state that Taiwan manufacturing was better then China manufacturing. They swooped in to bully Gigabyte into shutting up. Sure enough, within days of them posting this to Weibo, Gigabyte laptops disappeared from all e-commerce sites in China, and Gigabyte had to issue a groveling apology, as if they had committed a mortal sin in talking about "Made in Taiwan".

For those of you who don't China-Taiwan politics,Taiwan is a tiny country where many of the Nationalists who fled China after the 1949 Civl War went after they were defeated by the Communists. While the Communists proceeded to murder over 65 million of their own citizens and engage in human rights abuses that continue to this day, Taiwan became one of the economic powerhouse in Asia.

Now that China is become an economic force in itself, it is brainwashing its citizens to view Taiwan not as the independent country it's been since 1949, but as a "renegade province" to one day be invaded and "reunited".

I don't know if you're offended by China's increasing dominance over manufacturing, but I sure am. When I see a deal like this for a Made in Taiwan laptop, I'm going to jump at it and I'm going to tell everyone to buy it, if only to prevent China from taking over everything.

If China manages to take over chip manufacturing and ODM production, that will be a death knell to this industry that America invented. Taiwan is the thin line that's protecting us from ourselves.

That's enough to get me to buy Gigabyte from now on (and thanks to the OP for bringing up this deal).

Mixed reviews on BB's listing. Hmmmm. Some are a little disturbing.

Nice specs, but the 3060 is only 105w.

ESP if it's properly color calibrated (which it is), then for video/photo editing.

There is another version that I have seen that has a 3080 GPU with 16 GB GDDR6 Ram paired with the i9 processor. Wanting to do video editing and rendering and some 3d modeling would I see any performance increase between a 3080/16 Gb GDDR6 GPU versus the 3080 /8 GB GDDR6 GPU I see here?

Have you seen the Steam Deck, maybe that will interest you more.

I'd not be spending 1400 for gigabyte laptop. poorly built, sound is mediocre at best. Battery life sacrifice as well with 4K screen.
