[December 2024] Amazon France: Top 10 Best-Selling Gaming Laptop Series – Acer Nitro V 15 Tops the Chart, But ASUS is The True Leader

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[...]

In terms of specs and design, the Predator Helios Neo 16 (PHN16-72) is almost the same as the 18-inch PHN18-71 sibling. You get identical CPU and GPU options fitted in a smaller chassis. This includes 14th gen Intel Raptor Lake HX processors and GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards. The top-end configuration is with Core i9-14900HX and the 140W RTX 4070 - just like the laptop we bought. Display-wise, you can choose among four IPS panels - two 1200p units with 165Hz or 180Hz refresh rates or a 165Hz / 240Hz 1600p variant. Our notebook is equipped with the latter. Nvidia Advanced Optimus and a MUX s[...]

Since we recently reviewed the 16-inch version of this laptop, we kind of know what to expect from this one. However, there is always room for surprises, and let's hope that the ASUS ROG Strix G18 (G814, 2023) can give us some of the good ones.For starters, let's talk about this notebook's appeal to gamers. The Strix series has always been one of the top choices when it comes to this segment of the market. Considering the fact that the brand also has the SCAR version to think about, it comes naturally to make the Strix G-series a bit more lackluster. However, we definitely don't observe t[...]

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[...]

While it has plenty of knowledge from its Alienware brand, Dell insists to make its G-series gaming notebooks its own way. With compromises and at least one thing that makes absolutely no sense.For the past couple of years, this particular feature is the weight. In a world where gaming laptops are getting progressively lighter and thinner, Dell makes machines that simulate a shoulder workout in less than 15 minutes.Nevertheless, all of this might be for a reason, because we have noticed that the manufacturer has equipped its G15 5530 with a 140W RTX 4050. Yet again, the RTX 4000 GPU l[...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The TUF Gaming series is quite interesting. It offers both Intel and AMD options, which are easily distinguished by their name. In our case, it is the TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023).Finally, we are going to get a real taste of the proper Ryzen 7000 experience in the variant of a Ryzen 9 7940HS. It is based on the Zen 4 architecture, which is built on a 4nm node.It will be interesting how will the efficiency stack against the Intel counterpart. Ultimately, the gaming performance is something much more needed in the case of the TUF Gaming A17 (A707, 2023).In addition to that, the top-[...]

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 [...]
