[May 2025] Amazon Germany: Top 10 Best-Selling Gaming Laptops – MSI’s Budget-Friendly Cyborg 15 Dominates!

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[...]

The ASUS TUF lineup offers devices for people who don't want to spend a whole fortune on a new laptop but at the same time, they still want to get a well-performing machine. The TUF Gaming F17 (FX707, 2023) boasts a big 17.3" display and there are a lot of options here. For starters, we can spot two 1080p units with a 144Hz refresh rate that are labeled as "Value IPS-level". Yep, the manufacturer kindly reminds you that you don't have to expect miracles in terms of color reproduction when buying a notebook with one of these two.Further down the road, we can spot another Full HD (non-Value)[...]

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[...]

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[...]

The gaming handhelds are getting better and better. Nintendo Switch and Valve Steam Deck are probably the top dogs in this specific market. On the other hand, the new ASUS ROG Ally (2023) has some tricks up in its sleeve. It uses a full-blown version of Windows 11 so you aren't limited to just one store for buying games. You can get the newest titles via Steam, Windows Store, Ubisoft, GOG, etc. You can install standard MS apps that you are using on your desktop PC or laptop.The second big advantage of this gadget is its display. It's a 7" IPS panel with 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate[...]

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[...]

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[...]
