MSI Katana 17 (B12Ux / B12Vx / B13Ux / B13Vx) in-depth review
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 [...]
Pros
- Competitively priced

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 [...]

Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 in-depth review
The Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7640 shares a lot of similarities with its smaller 7440 sibling, which we also have reviewed. This includes the large variety of CPU options of Core Ultra as well as Alder and Raptor Lake chips. Curiously, the bigger 7640 iteration can be found as an iGPU-only model (with soldered memory) or with a dGPU as well. The laptops with GeForce RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 have two SODIMMs which makes them future-proof.The port selection is decent - the machine with an iGPU boasts an SD card reader while the other devices lack this extra. The backlight and the fingerprint reader[...]

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.[...]

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 [...]

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA506) in-depth review
Last-years TUF FX505 was a very important device for the marque. ASUS was not very strong in the budget-gaming segment with the likes of Lenovo bringing the Legion Y540 and the Ideapad L340 Gaming series to the table. However, the FX505 managed to offer good value and performance, and moreover, strengthened the relationship between the brand and AMD.As a result, ASUS was first in the line to receive the latest and greatest Ryzen 4000 CPUs, and boy did that workout. Currently, the TUF A15 (the successor to the FX505) is one of the most popular devices out there and as we saw with the 17-in[...]
Pros
- Great price/performance ratio
- Good keyboard with decent travel, clicky feedback, and an RGB backlight

- Can be purchased with a 144Hz screen with "Adaptive sync"
Cons
- Lacks an SD card reader and Thunderbolt support
- It gets pretty loud under load
- Covers only 55% of sRGB and has slow response times (despite the fast refresh rate) (LM156LF-2F01)

Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) in-depth review
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[...]
Pros
- Good performance

ASUS ROG Strix G16 (G614, 2023) in-depth review
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[...]

HP Victus 15 (15-fa0000, fb0000, fa1000, fb1000) in-depth review
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 [...]
