Top value for your money!
31 January 2022 
The laptop is good; overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase. I've used it for a few weeks and haven't noticed any significant drawbacks, except for a few things. The speakers (got used to them over time), 4 gigabytes of video memory (which is a bit low for the RTX 3050 and can't realize its full potential), and the thin/weak hinges, which feel like they could break very easily. On the plus side, the cooling is excellent (warm air comes out from the sides and it feels nice to rest your hands on it), there is software available for adjusting temperature/keyboard/changing operating modes (4 of them), and its performance is great. It runs games like this:

GTA5 - on ultra 1920*1080 70-80 fps = "entertainment" mode
Unturned - on ultra 1920*1080 90-100 fps = "entertainment" mode and 40-60 fps = "quiet" mode
RDR 2 - slightly below ultra 1920*1080 50-70 fps = "entertainment" mode
CS:GO - ultra 1920*1080 130-150 fps = "entertainment" mode
Genshin Impact - ultra 1920*1080 60 fps (the game doesn't support more) = "entertainment" mode

All games listed, except RDR 2 (not tested, but I think it should handle it), can be recorded with OBS at 1920*1080 in 80k bitrate.

Conclusion: The laptop is quite suitable for gamers and those who create content for YouTube; I believe the power reserve will last for 4-5 years. Running new releases on ultra or high settings will be no problem. I haven't encountered overheating; the maximum temperature reached was 80 degrees (though its limit is 94), and during games, it averages 70-75 degrees. The casing is simple, fairly solid, and doesn't bend under pressure.

Whether to buy it or not is your decision. For me, it's a top choice!
Flow Rate, screen, software, cooling system.
Speakers, hinges, slight lack of video memory.

I recommend purchasing it, but I'll immediately write down what you can expect.
30 January 2022 
Guys, heads up for everyone. If you've bought it and the BIOS is version F4, congratulations, you might have some serious issues. You'll experience severe overheating and the CPU frequency dropping from 4.2 GHz to 400 MHz in games, etc. Those who've experienced it will know what I mean. The problem can be fixed in just 5 minutes, no need to return it to the service center, etc., I returned mine, they replaced the motherboard, and it didn't help. Go to the official website of the model, download the F3 version of the BIOS, and install it as per the instructions—it's all clear, just 3 clicks and done. The problem completely disappears, and you'll have excellent hardware in your hands. I wrote to Gigabyte support, they couldn't help, but I found the solution on a foreign forum. In short, someone from the BIOS developers made a mistake, and a very high voltage is applied to the processor in BIOS versions above F3.
Hardware, screen, sound.
It does get rather warm, seriously, but tolerable with a stand, no throttling at all, and excellent, after all, it's a laptop.
