MORE: The Best Gaming Laptops Why You Should Care The GTX 1050 makes for a more affordable gaming laptop. It won’t handle the highest settings and VR, but it will play most games without an issue. The chassis is fairly slim and you still get some nice touches, like an RGB backlit keyboard and XSplit Broadcaster and Gamecaster pre-bundled. Hands-On Impressions The Sabre 15 felt solid, and while I thought its all black-design was a bit understated, I was happy to see a new budget addition to Gigabyte’s lineup. It seemed slim enough to fit into my backpack (though I didn’t get to try), and the RGB keyboard had little to no flex at all.
