Display Details:
LM156LF-1F02
X-Rite i1Pro 2

Maximum: 295 cd/m² (Nits) Average: 274.6 cd/m² Minimum: 14 cd/m²
Brightness Distribution: 86 %
Center on Battery: 295 cd/m²
Contrast: 1283:1 (Black: 0.23 cd/m²)
ΔE Color 5.21 | 0.59-29.43 Ø5.4, calibrated: 1.73
ΔE Greyscale 9.4 | 0.64-98 Ø5.7
69.6% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
96.7% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
68.2% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
Gamma: 2.046


Regarding the CPU, i5-10500H is essentially a very slightly downclocked version of i7-10750H and both are having 6 Cores. As per the review, this i5-10500H is actually having slightly better sustained performance than i7-10750H, making it perform better in longer workloads.

GPU This GPU has a fixed TGP of 90W (Can be adjusted to 80W from Control Center Software) and it can boost up to 105W using Dynamic Boost. If you see the benchmarks, it is one of the highest performing RTX 3060, even when compared to 115W RTX 3060s. It is far superior than the MSI GS and GP series RTX 3060 with 85W max TGP.

How loud are the fans? How good are the thermals? Build quality in general?

I looked at the review. I was just looking to see if anyone who actually owned the laptop had any thoughts.

There are some YouTube Reviews and Live testing from a Reputed YouTubers. Check the video out and I think it will answer all your questions.

The Fan is pretty loud at full load just like all 10th and 11th Gen Intel Processors. Build quality is nice for the price class even though it is mostly plastic.

In case you are okay to buy from Newegg and okay with $100 Mail In Rebate from Gigabyte, you can grab it at $949.

This Gigabyte has better quality display (don't get fooled by 144Hz on both) with higher brightness and color gamut, better gaming performance due to having a higher wattage 105W 3060 vs 85W on MSI.
CPU performance is better in MSI.

If you buy from amazon for $945, wouldn't the mail in rebate bring it down to $845?
