A laptop with way more power than the 20.9mm frame would suggest. PC gamers are accustomed to waiting. High-profile titles often arrive months after an initial console release, and when it comes to hardware we tend to delay our purchasing decisions because, as you well know, there's always something better waiting just around the corner.

And there's usually good reason to hold out that little bit longer. In terms of premium gaming laptops, enthusiasts have been sitting patiently over the last few months as they await the right system outfitted with a sixth-generation Intel Core processor, codenamed Skylake. Industry stalwart Gigabyte reckons that wait is over with the P35X v5.

As the name suggests, this is Gigabyte's fifth revision of the 15.6in P35X and from the outside it doesn't seem as though much has changed. The chassis continues to look impressively sleek for a device aimed primarily at gamers, and at 20.9mm at its thickest point, the build conforms to our expectations of a modern gaming machine.
