This Gigabyte A16 is a budget-minded 16-inch gaming laptop that stands out for its RTX 5070, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD at a low price. The 165Hz IPS display is described as 2560x1600 with 100 percent sRGB and 400 nits on the higher-resolution panel, and the machine also includes Wi-Fi 7, two M.2 slots, and support for up to 4TB of storage. The main tradeoffs are the 85W GPU cap, an older i7-13620H, and very poor battery life, with the 150W adapter keeping it tied to the power cord. It looks best as a desktop replacement rather than a light travel machine.
The RTX 5070 is capped at 85W, which can support cooler and quieter operation when paired with undervolting.
The laptop includes a 16-inch 2560×1600 165Hz IPS display with sRGB 100% and a typical 400 nits brightness rating.
The system supports Wi‑Fi 7 and offers two total M.2 slots with support for up to 4TB storage.
The RTX 5070 configuration can be positioned as an efficient on-the-go gaming option compared with higher-power desktop-class setups.
Battery life can be extremely limited for gaming and even browsing, with estimates around sub-two hours reported for similar tier systems.
The 85W GPU cap and a 150W adapter may limit CPU power allocation, which can lead to poor battery life.
The laptop is described as heavy at about 8 pounds, making it less practical for frequent carrying.
Walmart orders for this item can be canceled due to a policy review flag during checkout.

Anyways, highly suggest this Legion 5 over the Gigabyte if you can swing it. Comes with 1 16 GB stick, find a match for 150-200 and it will both run circles around this Gigabyte, and importantly it will continue to do so for years because (generally speaking) Legion is tier 1 on quality and Gigabyte is just barely above MSI gaming laptops at the bottom of the barrel.

With a I7-13620H even with a 85 watt GPU you aren't gaming on battery for more than 45 minutes, hour tops. This thing like EVERY 13 and 14th gen I7/9 gaming laptop lives on the power cord even for just browsing the internet and playing videos.
That deal is good with the OLED screen and top notch processor. Imo, it wouldn't have been a good deal if it didn't have the official one year manufacturer warranty from Lenovo. Because if I'm using my AMEX, refurbished warranties are not extended unless they are from the official manufacturer. Good find

And yeah the only negative with that Legion is the same with this one, which is your battery life is terrible. My cousin had that Legion with an I7-14gen/5060 and battery life was sub 2 hours. Otherwise it's probably the best "cheap" gaming laptop on the market imo. the main compromises you would get in this tier aren't really there because it's a Legion, and in some ways it is better than the pros from this generation (rear HDMI/power port, if you haven't had those yet, once you do they become a necessity imo).

Honestly, outside of steam deck type stuff, not really. I just wasn't sure when he said "on the go" if he was saying "on battery" because you ain't getting far. Hell even my Ruzen 350 version of this on the IGPU can't do more than like 1.5 hours of gaming. Physics don't really allow general purpose hardware like this to run 100+ watts for very long given battery dimensions. Maybe sometime the US government will adjust the size limits on laptop batteries given that LI-ion is much safer these days and less of a risk than 10-15 years ago, especially newer chemistries. Then we could get some real crazy stuff, some of the new batteries showing up in cell phones with more carbon are getting 50% more useable power from the same space.

Even the Steam Deck can't run AAA titles (720p low w/FSR at that) for more than 1.5 hours. Power scaling is really good on the custom Van Gogh APU though. For light games, I can easily get 5+ hours (LCD model) although my wrists hurt long before that.
