Gigabyte Gaming A16 Pro review: this restricted RTX 5080 machine holds its own thanks to 5070 Ti pricing

The Gaming A16 Pro delivers solid 1600p gameplay and creator-level CPU performance, plus a big 16-inch 165 Hz display that can lay flat. A 115W cap on the RTX 5080 means mid-range performance, but it's well ahead of similar priced 5070-equipped rivals. It's not perfect – battery life is shorter than I'd like, the fans get loud under load and the lone 5 Gbps USB-C port feels dated. But if you pick it up at a decent discount, the Gaming A16 Pro is good value for money.
