[April 2025] Amazon Germany: Top 10 Best-Selling Gaming Laptops – MSI Cyborg 15 Dominates the Budget-Friendly Arena!

The HP OMEN 17 (17-db0000) is a big 17.3" machine that packs powerful hardware. This includes AMD Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS CPUs and NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs with hefty power limits. We have no complaints regarding the upgradability. The port selection is also rich but its only con is the lack of Thunderbolt 4 connectors. The cool the thirsty hardware, HP has fitted a huge cooling under the bonnet. The manufacturer claims that the pair of large fans are 2.5 times slimmer and sport twice the blades compared to the older fan design. We can hint that the thermal system is good and we are impressed that[...]

The Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-41) is meant for budget-conscious gamers who want to play their favorite titles without breaking the bank. This laptop isn't a powerhouse but it's offered with decently snappy AMD Zen 3+ CPUs (Rembrandt-HS Refresh) and with a plethora of different GPUs including NVIDIA RTX 2000, 3000, and 4000 chips. The upgradability is surprisingly good for the class as well as the port selection with its 4 USB connectors.The capabilities of the two-fan cooling are enhanced thanks to the lid with a lever design and the inlet keyboard. There are no high-res displays here so you [...]

From all of the gibberish on MSI's official Website, we learn one thing - the Katana is no longer called the GF66. Instead, it follows its weapon cousin - the Sword, in adopting the simpler "15" moniker. This will make the two devices ever so harder to differentiate. However, we are here for only one of them today - the MSI Katana 15 (B13V).It comes with a 13th Gen Intel processor. While it is the somewhat crippled Core i7-13620H, we have high expectations for its gaming performance. Consisting of 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores, it should be a rather efficient unit.On the graphics side, you [...]

The gap between the Acer Predator devices and their Nitro siblings is getting smaller year after year. This is quite good, but some Nitro machines aren't budget offerings anymore since they are full of powerful hardware and other useful extras. Not all hope is lost because the V-series of the Nitro lineup is striking the laptop market with devices that boast modern hardware at a fair price. In 2023, we saw that the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) is a well-performing machine with some compromises here and there. Specs-wise, the Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) looks even better with its Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS C[...]

MSI Katana's super budget characteristics are now part of history. The manufacturer has somewhat successfully converted the machine from an affordable to a mid-range product. While the main contributor to this is really NVIDIA, we have a thing or two to say about MSI's own participation.Today, our office smells like a freshly-baked MSI Katana 17 (B12V). Intuitively, the (B12V) part of the name indicates that it has a 12th Gen Intel processor. This means that some cost-cutting is becoming evident only by looking at the specs sheet.In addition to that, the Katana 17 (B12V) can be maxed [...]

Right from the get-go the MSI seems to overhype their Cyborg 15 (A12V). They say it is "the most ground-breaking gaming laptop". Why? Perhaps because of its translucent body parts that let you see almost nothing on the inside.Or maybe because of the performance, which should not be bad, considering the fact that it features the latest tech from NVIDIA in the form of RTX 4000 GPUs. However, they are working at only 45W of TGP.In addition, the CPUs of choice include the Core i7-12650H, and Core i7-13620H - processors that have half the E-core count of their more powerful cousins. On the[...]
