kernel error
computer bought in November, was used for 3 days then was sent to after-sales service because of a kernel error code that crashes the computer
the salespeople in the store were not able to explain it or solve it, after 1 month in after-sales service the PC comes back and after 5 hours of use still the same error code, returned to after-sales service, 1 month later the manufacturer sends a new PC because they can’t manage to solve the problem, new computer but still the same kernel error code after a week, I’m going to return the PC and ask for a refund to change brand!

Top PC
Main use on office and CAD tools, so mainly for professional work. Very powerful for this use; however, it also lets me develop my practice by including a little bit of image processing. The PC handles everything without running out of steam, with huge battery life. Nice screen with top-notch rendering. Bought on the advice of a salesperson in an LDLC store and warranty until 2030, extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Very noisy gaming!
It is beautiful, that's not the problem,
There are so many energy-saving modes you don’t know what to do with them, to the point that the graphics card deactivates when you are on battery! That’s something to know because I called the store because of that and the person didn’t know either that there was this "feature".
The keyboard is RGB, I haven’t found yet how to change the lighting.
It makes a rather annoying noise, you have to play with a headset, it gets very hot and yet not on a big game (the division 2), the fan is less intense in office use, but it still gets hot!
There are 2 webcams, one that you have to disable because it is "software" and the other is physical; obviously you have to disable the software one for everything to work correctly.
Games take a very long time to start, probably another energy-saving thing.
(I needed to replace my computer very quickly, hence this choice given the immediate availability in store)Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

Very happy with the purchase, it runs games without any problem. The sound and the screen are good too.
Best value for money during my research, for now the games tried work very well. KDC 1, Space marine II, CK III.
As a computer novice, I appreciate that the applications manage the needs perfectly according to your uses.Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

This computer looks robust and stable to me. Everything is well designed for music and video games. The only downside is that it doesn't have a numeric keypad...

Decent product.
Having purchased this laptop for gaming and studying, I am generally satisfied with the product: large screen, high refresh rate, generous storage capacity (1 TB), efficient cooling system, smooth and fast PC.
A minor flaw is the lack of a numeric keypad and the tiny arrow keys on an oversized touchpad, added to which is a somewhat confusing layout of the connection ports, but nothing too serious on that front.
To maximise performance, make sure you use your dedicated graphics card (Nvidia control panel), limit the frame rate (70 FPS), connect the battery and, if possible, find an alternative upscaling technology (FSR in particular) in the game options if your game does not support DLSS. You can also use inexpensive third-party image generation software.
Thank you for reading this far, and happy gaming, everyone!Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CTHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

Product matching my request
I gave this rating because the product perfectly met my needs and allowed me to enjoy gaming again and experience improvements that my old PC didn't have, particularly in terms of Wi-Fi.
The software update service also saved me time when using the latter.Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

All-purpose PC
Everything works very well. The only downside is that switching between the two video configurations is really not user-friendly. The system provides two video configurations at start-up. The high-performance graphics card for gaming can be disabled, allowing you to run on the Intel graphics chip, which is sufficient for office use.

Design could be improved & Linux compatibility needs reviewing
The overall design is average. The connectivity is rather limited (only one USB-C port in 2025!) and poorly placed, especially the power supply in the middle with a very large plug.
Gigabyte has also been creative with the keyboard layout. The up/down keys are on the right instead of the left, which is quite a disadvantage when developing.
Finally, Linux compatibility is average. The keyboard backlighting is only adjustable in Windows, and the function key is also poorly managed in Linux. Gigabyte support acknowledges this: they only make Windows hardware.
However, the graphics card, network and sound still work well in Linux.Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

purchase and after-sales service
Hello,
I gave it the highest rating because:
1. In terms of purchase, I am very satisfied with this PC.
Speed, keyboard lighting very interesting for me.
One small downside, it lacks a numeric keypad.
A matter of habit!
2. In terms of after-sales service, the assistance of a highly qualified technician
who fixed a brightness issue.
I have made several purchases from ldlc, and each time I have had the same opinion.
Kind regardsModel: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CTHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

Excellent delivery as usual, thanks to the LDLC team (punctuality and quality are always there).
However, this little gigabyte gets very hot! To be continued (see if the CM, RAM, CG, SSD components, etc. survive the heat over time).Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CTHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

A PC that overheats
Fast to start up, with very effective facial recognition. You just need to find the right LED settings for the keyboard, otherwise black on black is difficult to see. The screen is good quality, and the 32 GB of RAM allows me to do computer-assisted music production on this PC.
But it gets very hot, which is the only downside I can find at the moment.Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR864SHReview automatically translated -

High-quality laptop
Nothing to complain about in terms of hardware; for the price, it's very satisfactory. Powerful enough to run recent games (perhaps lacking a tad of RAM, but there's a free slot for easy future upgrades). Heat and noise are very well contained. Even the screen pleasantly surprised me (colour rendering, contrast, persistence, etc.), it's not bad at all, I was expecting much less based on online tests.
On the other hand, red card to Microsoft: the PC is unusable straight out of the box. The initial Windows 11 setup leaves us no choice but to go through the update installation step... including one that crashes and forces you to start all over again (in a loop, of course)! We had to use a backdoor to finalise the installation offline. This has been a recurring problem with Microsoft lately, and it's unacceptable in 2025!Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CTHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

Good little Laptop
Buy on 27/11/2025 at LDLC Perpignan Sud.
In need of a small PC. I went for the A16, for less than 1000e with a 5060 I might as well take advantage of it.
I mainly play Warcraft in 9/10 quality. IPS in foreground that I blocked. I run between 60 and 150 FPS.
The fans blow quite a bit but nothing alarming.
I still advise to raise the pc with a stand to avoid too much heat.
The screen is very fluid and the keyboard and rgb are nice.
A good grip.
This little A16 looks promising. To be seen with time.
Thanks to the Perpignan team.Model: GIGABYTE GAMING A16 CVHI3FR894SHReview automatically translated -

I'd say that the computer matches the specified specifications, which is good.
However, I've just received it today and the screen already had two dead pixels on start-up.

A good entry-level laptop that can do a bit of gaming and other everyday tasks. It took me a while to figure out how to configure the keyboard lighting, but it's still accessory and aesthetically pleasing.
