Gigabyte SabrePro 15 technical features

Unboxing and design

The Gigabyte SabrePro 15 arrives in a large cardboard box and on its cover we come across a small one of the laptop design. There's also a model name and a handle for quick portability.

This specific model does not include any accessories apart from the equipment itself, that is:

So that it arrives in perfect condition and without any surprises (scratches, dust or blow) it is wrapped in a cloth bag as in the entire Aorus or Aero line of the Taiwanese giant Gigabyte.

The Gigabyte SabrePro 15 is a model with contained dimensions for its 15.6-inch screen. As expected, it incorporates a Full HD resolution and a panel of very high IPS quality, ideal for graphic designers and gamers looking for the best colors while playing.

Thanks to its set we will be able to get the highest quality to Nvidia's HDR, ANSEL and VR Works technologies thanks to its 6 GB Nvidia GTX 1060, but we will talk about it later.

At the multimedia level it incorporates the new TriDef SmartCam webcam that allows us to record with HD resolution (720p) ideal for conversations on Skype or to record live streaming.

The first impression when seeing the laptop is to be somewhat robust, when we review both measurements and weight we come across 390 x 268 x 25 mm and a weight of 2.5 Kg. Which is not bad for a 15-inch laptop.

As for the connections, it has the following:

1 x USB3.1 Gen.1 (Type-C) 3 x USB3.01 x HDMI1 x mini DP1 x RJ45, 1x microphone / earphones, 1 x Card reader (SD / SDHC / SDXC) Power input.

The lower part exhibits the traditional grilles and some non-slip stops that leave a height so that the laptop breathes better, all of its set allow to improve the air flow of the equipment to avoid overheating of its components. To open the equipment we must remove a total of 17 screws and we will find a beautiful and organized design:

Gigabyte has decided to throw the house out the window at the hardware level and has assembled the best quality / price / performance components on the market right now, starting with an Intel Core i7 7700HQ processor at 2.8 GHz and with Boost it goes up Up to 3.8 GHz you will have no problem getting the most out of the 6GB GDDR5 Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card. This combination is devastating in the primitive resolution (Full HD) and offers a sensational performance in the most demanding games since there will be none that will resist it for the next few years. This set is powered by a 6 cell battery: 5300WAh - 60 W / h. Gigabyte SabrePro 15 incorporates great ingredients!

It incorporates a high-performance cooling system called Supra-Cool that thanks to the 5 heatpipes and two high-performance fans will get maximum efficiency and cooling to the entire system. At no time will we have serious temperature problems and at rest it is almost inaudible.

We continue with 16 GB of DDR4 memory in single channel configuration along with a 256 GB SSD and a 2.5 ″ HDD of 1 TB at 7200 RP M so that we do not lack speed or space. Additionally we can mount a second M.2 SSD with which we can mount a RAID to have dizzying speeds, obviously compatible with NVMe x4 Gen (the second slot).

We got to the sound and it is a pleasant surprise to find two 2W speakers and a support subwoofer with 2W. Our experience with them has been fantastic both playing music and playing the titles that we have tried in our test bench;-). Although I particularly like wearing helmets more to get the most out of the games I play.

We think the keyboard of the Gigabyte SabrePro 15 is a great success . It incorporates a membrane design with 2mm travel on each key and fully customizable RGB lighting we've only seen on the highest-end models.

Additionally, via software, it allows us to create macros with the upper keys, both side of the start button) and customize with various lighting designs. Nor can we forget the touchpad, which within the gaming segment is the best we have tried: fast, tactical and ergonomic-friendly.

Software and performance tests

Control Center is an application that allows us to squeeze the performance of our laptop to the maximum. Among its functions it allows us to manage the power configuration with 4 profiles: Balanced, great performance, saving mode or super saving.

Additionally, it also allows us to manage the macro keys M1, M2, M3 and M4 as the keyboard lighting effects. Where will we have a great experience in night situations?

Regarding the performance of the Gigabyte SabrePro 15 we have passed Cinebench R15 with a result of 619 CB points. A result that matches any high-end notebook and can only be surpassed with desktop processors.

While the SSD disk offers the estimated reads and writes of 1619 MB / s and 1257 MB / s respectively. Voucher! Surely now you want to see the performance of the team with its native resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). For this we have used all the games of our usual test bench with Ultra quality:

Final words and conclusion about Gigabyte SabrePro 15

The new Gigabyte SabrePro 15 has been stomping on the high-end of laptops. And it has all the ingredients to succeed: very powerful processor, Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card, 250GB NVMe SSD, 16GB of RAM, IPS Full HD display and a 6-cell battery.

We recommend reading the best laptops on the market

In our test bench it has caught up with the main games at its native resolution and with filters in Ultra. We have also seen that the sound, the quality of the webcam and its expansion possibilities (incorporating an extra SATA SSD) and connections are a plus.

The only thing we miss is a Thunderbolt 3 connection to have the possibility of renewing the equipment with an external graphics card, without the need to acquire a laptop every time the games need more power.

We thank Gigabyte for the possibility of bringing you this exclusive nationwide , they confirm that it will be available during the month of October and it is estimated that its price will be around 1599 euros or somewhat lower. Without a doubt, a 100% recommended purchase.
