Lenovo Legion 5i (16", Gen 9) in-depth review
The Legion gaming devices are well-known for their good gaming capabilities (or at least in most cases). Today we will show you the Lenovo Legion 5i (16", Gen 9) that is offered with 55W Intel Raptor Lake-HX or HX Refresh CPU options. Everything looks good in the GPU department because the machine can be found with GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards with hefty TGPs.Since this laptop isn't part of the "Slim" lineup, Lenovo has fitted a massive thermal system under the bonnet to cool the powerful and thirsty internals. The device isn't super light and thin because it's meant for serious gaming.[...]

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71) in-depth review
Today, we have another gaming laptop in our office. It is the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-71) - quite a mouthful of a name. But this company already has the Predator Helios 16, so the most natural question would be - what is the difference between the two models?To be honest, we don't really know how they are supposed to share the market together. Ultimately, the "Neo" should be a bit less expensive, due to the fact that it can be maxed out "only" with the RTX 4070, whereas the non-Neo product can be found with an RTX 4080.In addition to that, there are a couple more difference[...]

MSI Thin 15 (B12Ux / B12Vx / B13Ux / B13Vx) in-depth review
In 2024, the market offers a lot of budget gaming laptops and some of them are pretty capable for their price. One of the notable mentions in this category is the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-41) which is a great bang for the buck but has one bad flaw - the super high noise during CPU-heavy tasks. On the other hand, we got the MSI Thin 15 B12U which is also an inexpensive gaming machine and it looks pretty sleek for its class.This one is offered with Intel Alder Lake-H CPUs and up to RTX 3050 with 4GB VRAM. The 12th Gen 45W chips are still a good choice for the budget segment. They pack tons of [...]

ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713P (2023) in-depth review
When we saw the first 16-inch and 18-inch ROG Strix laptops we really didn't expect the company to still make a 17-inch version. Well, ASUS did, and it is called the ASUS ROG Strix G17 G713P (2023).It is based on an AMD chipset and features the brand-new Zen 4 processors. They are built on the 4nm architecture, and we expect Team Red to finally put up some competition for Intel, after two years of mixed results.This might be a "make it, or break it" moment for ASUS (and for AMD to be honest), but when you make an entire army of gaming laptops, you can afford to experiment, can't you?

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA607 in-depth review
The new ASUS TUF Gaming A16 FA607 (2024) is loaded with modern hardware. This includes powerful AMD Zen 4 Dragon Range-HX CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 4000 graphics cards with hefty TGPs. As always, the TUF machines are a step down compared to the ROG siblings but the manufacturer is trying to maintain a good price / performance ratio. Some of the most important gaming extras are available for all devices - G-Sync, MUX Switch, and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support.You get just two 165Hz IPS display options but that's fine given the price tag. The base display is a 1200p unit while the optional model [...]

ASUS TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023) in-depth review
With the rise of inflation, budget gaming notebooks are no longer very affordable. However, manufacturers have done their fair share of the price increase, by making these products with higher-quality materials.In addition to that, NVIDIA and Intel introduced an incredibly powerful lineup of GPUs and CPUs recently, but again - they are no longer the bargain they used to be. On the bright side, even the RTX 4050 (which now finally comes with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM) is capable of crushing every game at 1080p and max settings.The laptop we're going to talk about today is the ASUS TUF Gaming F[...]

The last few ASUS TUF Gaming devices that we have reviewed left us with positive impressions. The ASUS TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023) has good cooling potential and long battery life and the same applies to the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA507. We got the successor of the latter in front of us - the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507, 2023).The new version has a similar design but the real deal is hidden under the bonnet. You can choose between a refreshed AMD Zen 3+ CPU and a more powerful Zen 4 chip. The mobile NVIDIA RTX 4000 GPUs are part of the package and they come with hefty TGPs which is something [...]

ASUS is one of the brands that just can't stop innovating. From technology that is premiered on the market, to one that is being popularized - like the OLED panels found in many affordable ASUS laptops.However, this was one of the first major notebook brands that employed liquid metal for its CPU thermal compound. Now, the ROG Strix G16 (G614, 2023) comes with the same compound found over its HX-series Raptor Lake processor.This is one of the big differences between this machine, and the TUF Gaming F15 (FX507, 2023), bar the screen size. We have to take into consideration the fact tha[...]

As you may already know, the Nitro series devices are budget-oriented laptops that offer a good bang for the buck (or at least in most cases). These machines are also very popular and that's why Acer is trying to manufacture even more affordable devices. Their new creation is called the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51).Interestingly, this one looks like an Aspire notebook with Nitro treatment. Of course, it's not just a rebranded notebook with a bit different look. You can use the handy Acer NitroSense app for advanced system monitoring, fan control, and for applying different performance preset[...]

Even though Victus is not HP's most affordable gaming brand, it actually presents you with the best offers. And a little something tells us that it won't be only seasonal.In fact, the Victus 15 (15-fb0000) can be your best way to enter the gaming world. In particular, the 15-fb0000 comes with AMD CPUs from the last generation - Ryzen 5 5600H, and Ryzen 7 5800H. This is great, because these processors are still very powerful, and are pretty easy to cool.Graphics-wise, your choices are a bit limited. You won't be able to get anything more powerful than an RTX 3050 Ti. However, even the [...]
