We’ve already shown you how P34 looks on the inside – the internal arrangement of the components is very important mostly for proper cooling and reducing the chance of faults. Just behind the trackpad are five LED indicators for the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HDD, Battery and Power. In other words, you have everything you might need and all of these are full-sized.
On the right you’ll find two more USB 3.0 ports, Memor圜ard slot, HDMI and DC-in. On the left are Kensington Lock port, Ethernet, VGA, two USB 3.0 ports and combo audio jack. Gigabyte’s engineers have made a good decision by placing USB ports on both sides of the notebook. Actually, it’s pretty nice to see a wide range of expansion in a laptop this size.

On the other side of the keyboard are the stereo Dolby Digital Plus speakers (2x 1.5W) and the Power button between them. We could say the same for the multitouch trackpad – the size of 100 x 55 mm is enough for easy use with gestures and there is a small plastic strip below it which covers the left and right buttons. You won’t have a NumPad panel but that’s normal for a 14-incher and given the notebook size we’re delighted with the keyboard’s level of typing comfort. We should note that although P34W is less than an inch thick, it also has a keyboard backlight which automatically adjusts its power relative to the external conditions. The Island Style design contributes for the good impression as well – the keys have enough distance between each other so the chance of making a mistake pressing two of them simultaneously is minimal. The keyboard is placed on a slightly concave panel and that’s a convenient decision because in that way typing is a bit more comfortable. Opening the lid, you get a view of slightly darker interior which also combines metal and plastic but this time the latter is used more – for the screen borders and as a base of the keyboard.
Five centimeters below is the reflective Gigabyte metallic logo. The color is dark gray (or space gray if you like) and the only plastic element on the exterior is a thin cover at the top of the lid, which provides the antennas with better reception. Using aluminum as a primary material for laptop’s body is typical and that’s because metal, unlike plastic, successfully disperses the heat which makes it the only possible choice for Gigabyte, given the aforementioned thickness of the notebook. That’s why we’re going to put the machine to detailed temperature, stability and comfort tests but you’ll read more on that later. Most of the notebooks in this class are at least two times thicker than P34W so the first thing that popped in our minds was “Will it become a mobile furnace when you game?”. It weighs just 1.8 kg and its thickness measures at the mind-blowing 20.9 mm. Actually, Gigabyte P34W is the world’s lightest GTX 970M gaming laptop. The first thing that will amaze you when you encounter P34 is its ultra thin and light construction.
