For CPU and GPU performance combined, the Gigabyte Sabre 17 did excellently. This was almost certainly in no small part to the Nvidia 1060 this particular model comes equipped with scoring only slightly below the ASUS ROF GL702Z which in itself was excellent, but powered by a Ryzen 7 instead of an Intel i7.
Moving onto a GPU based score, the laptop scored a highly respectable 2057 and once again competes with similar products from ASUS, Chillblast and Aorus.
The CPU scoring in PCMark 10 was surprisingly high and performed much better than many of its competitors. That, of course, is in no small part to the i7 7700HQ processor. Despite this, however, given that this is the same processor seen in the MSI GP62 models, the moderately faster speed is pleasantly surprising.
In this instance, figures were slightly lower than we expected. This, however, based on the majority of the other results is the only instance in which the Sabre 17 came below par.
No one would necessarily expect any laptop, within reason, to be a video processing powerhouse. That being said, the Sabre 17 gave some very respectable figures.
The Handbrake conversion score was a little lower than expected, but for 4k video conversion, totally within an acceptable remit.
