The G5 KE’s matte Full-High-Definition display, which was made by Chi Mei, has been carried over to the G5 KE Plus. Even though it offers a decent viewing angle, the 144Hz IPS panel’s brightness and contrast are not up to par with what is considered to be acceptable levels. The display is not capable of reproducing the standard colour spaces (sRGB, AdobeRG, or DCI-P3) in their whole.
However, regardless of the brightness setting, it does not display any signs of PWM flicker. There are no other panel options that may be selected at this time. The displays of the Asus TUF A15, Intel NUC X15, and Lenovo Slim 5 16APH8 are all of a higher quality than those of other similar products. The G5 provides access to four distinct performance modes that the manufacturer has outlined (see table).
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]Utilising the Control Centre software, you are able to switch between the two. For our benchmarks, we employed the “Performance mode,” while for our battery life tests, we utilised the “Energy-saving mode.” The maximum frequencies that the Core i5-12500H’s 12 CPU cores (four P-cores and eight E-cores) are capable of reaching are 4.5 GHz (P) and 3.3 GHz (E). The clock speed experienced a modest decrease between the first and second run when subjected to persistent multi-thread loading (i.e. CB15 in a loop), but after that it remained at a level that was pretty constant.

Where to get GIGABYTE G5 KF?
On a device that is 360 millimetres wide, 238 millimetres deep, and 23 millimetres thick, the weight of 2,104 grammes is approximately standard. The body is made of plastic, despite the fact that it may appear to be created from metal at first glance due to the use of a black colour scheme, which lends itself to such thoughts. That could be a problem if the build quality was bad, but Gigabyte deserves praise for making a construction that is resistant to bending easily.
It is only possible to detect any discernible give in the keyboard by applying significant force, and even when doing so, there are none of the typical squeaks that are associated with more affordable models. When I open her up, I see that the panel has a huge bezel at the bottom, and like many other panels, it also has stickers that are completely unneeded.
