Overall, very satisfactory considering the price. It runs everything flawlessly without any issues. The temperatures are satisfactory, not exceeding 60C. The keyboard is okay, but the layout is not perfect for programming. As for gaming, it has good FPS and is very responsive, with minimal fan noise. The speakers are not good at all, they ruin the sound, so headphones are needed. The ports are very satisfactory with good coverage. The bezels are just right and the screen contrast is very good.
Initially, I was considering the MSI Cyborg 15, which did not satisfy me in terms of the screen and the GPU's TDP, plus the screen itself was just bad. I preferred the G5KF because overall it offers a more satisfactory result and allows for an upgrade with a second NVMe, which was not available in the MSI Cyborg 15. For this price, I would highly recommend it as it provides a more complete experience for the money
For 1350€, it is the best one can buy in Greece, the 4060 is a very powerful card, even though it has lower wattage than its high-end version. In cyberpunk, everything is on ultra, with RT on and DLSS, it averages 81 fps in-game benchmark! Excellent! The processor does hold it back a bit, but I don't think we would see much more power with any other graphics card. It scores around 13000 in Cinebench23.
A major downside is that the charger barely handles the power demand, so I replaced it. I have undervolted the graphics card, resulting in better performance and significantly lower temperature. You will definitely need a cooler pad, and ideally, it would be good to change the thermal paste internally, as the one it comes with is not that great. It gets quite hot during demanding tasks, causing noise, but it is a gaming laptop. Silent and gaming don't go together. The screen could be much better. Also, make sure to have an extra slot for RAM upgrade, I have 2x16GB and noticed a big difference.
I give it 5 stars, although I think it deserves more like 4, but at this price, you definitely won't get anything better right now!
