GIGABYTE has introduced two new gaming laptopscalledthe Sabre 15 and Sabre 17. Starting atonly$1,299, these gaming beasts are quite affordable, meaning that they are going to be geared towards a larger audience, but that also means that they will come with a lot of compromises in the end.

Both Sabre 15 and Sabre 17 Pack a 6-Core CPU and Support of up to 3TB of Storage

These Sabre laptops couldalsopass off as GIGABYTE’s brand AORUS. Both the laptops have a beautiful black, soft-touch frame with a sparkly silver GIGABYTE logo at the top of the lid. The interior also has the same black soft-touch finish. The keyboard is island-style and backlittoo, with the displayfeatured a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Both the notebooks come with a lot of ports, particularly the Sabre 17 including HDMI, a DisplayPort, and some USB Type-C ports.

Both the Sabre notebooks have a customizable keyboard with no less than 16.7 million choices option with 2 millimeters of key travel. This should make the keys more tactile than before, leading to a better typing experience.The Sabre15 and Sabre 17 are bothpowered by the 8th-Gen Intel Core i7-8750H processor. The systemscan supportup to 32GB of RAM, a dual-storage system that can house up to 3TB of PCIe SSDs, and anNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 GPU with a VRAM of 4GB.

Unfortunately, just because of the GPU, you will need to immerse in gaming titles by lowering the visual settings to get higher frame rates, but that is if you will be playing AAA titles.Even though $1,299 isn’t necessarily cheapfor everyone, the Sabre15 and 17are still pretty affordable if you consider the fact that GIGABYTE and AORUS systems are usually very expensiveand out of budget for several customers.

In the end, if you are on a tight budget and need a gaming laptopfor both gaming and productivity, these ones are actually a very good deal.
