ASUS TUF Gaming A14 FA401 in-depth review
We saw a lot of small yet potent gaming devices in 2024. Now it's time to check how good the TUF Gaming A14 (FA401) is compared to the competition, including the HP OMEN Transcend 14, Nitro 14 (AN14-41), or the Predator Helios Neo 14 (PHN14-51). The ASUS creation has a lot of tricks up in its sleeve but the most notable one should be its top CPU option which is the Zen 5 AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with a 50 TOPS NPU. When this chip is well-cooled, it offers fast performance and efficiency at the same time.Speaking of which, this small fella has a pretty capable thermal system with three heat pi[...]

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA507, 2023) in-depth review
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 [...]

MSI Katana 15 (B12Ux / B12Vx / B13Ux / B13Vx) in-depth review
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 [...]
Pros
- Pretty good gaming performance
- 2x M.2 PCIe x4 Gen 4 slots, 2x DDR5 RAM SODIMM slots in dual channel
- 144Hz refresh rate (AUO B156HAN08.4 (AUOAF90))
- No PWM (AUO B156HAN08.4 (AUOAF90))
- MUX Switch

Cons
- No SD card
- No Thunderbolt 4
- Covers only 53% of sRGB (AUO B156HAN08.4 (AUOAF90))
- All-plastic build
- Keyboard gets pretty warm during gaming
- Gets more and more expensive
#4 MSI Cyborg 15 (A12Ux / A12Vx / A13Ux / A13Vx)

MSI Cyborg 15 (A12Ux / A12Vx / A13Ux / A13Vx) in-depth review
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[...]
Pros

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 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[...]
