    Gigabyte announced the P57W as part of its new gaming notebook lineup at CES 2016. This large 17.3-inch gaming notebook features an Intel "Skylake" Core i7 quad-core processor, and Nvidia GTX 970M graphics. It’s a potent combo for the latest games. Besides its performance, the main draw for this model is its thin-and-light design, measuring just 0.98 inches thin, and weighing only 6.4 pounds. The P57W has many admirable features, including a top-notch IPS display, good speakers, almost a full working days' battery life, and a well-designed cooling system. Its keyboard could have better feedback, and we'd like to see some higher-end build materials, but it's otherwise a solid choice if you’re in the market for a high-end gaming notebook.

    Let the discussion commence!
    The 15 inch counterpart aka P55W, have very poor cooling, 2 heatpipes shared with cpu and gpu with 1 fan cooling it, but P57W has dual fan cooling, not sure how would it fare under load.

    Is there a custom/unlocked BIOS for this notebook?

    Thanks
