The day has come. We are finally getting our hands on a laptop that comes equipped with Intel's latest (and arguably the first) discrete GPU solution. This long-awaited device is called the Intel Iris Xe Max, and it's based on the DG1/Iris Xe graphics architecture. And the star of the show here is the Acer Swift 3X (SF314-510G) - adequately branded to show off the tech inside.If we have to draw early conclusions from the integrated Iris Xe Graphics G7, which comfortably beats the 10W version of NVIDIA's GeForce MX350, the expectations are set really high. Is Acer's work with Intel going t[...]

We were really excited from the time rumors started appearing about the new Apple M1 chips. There was confusion about the name, their specs, and their performance. And now that they are here, it's only natural to put them through their paces. Today, we have the MacBook Pro 14, which aims to be revolutionary. Not only for the SoC it houses, but because of what it is. It is the long-awaited machine, that breaks the gap between the 13-inch, and the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Weirdly, it has more in common with the latter.This time, Apple has really produced a Pro model, that's worth talking about.[...]

Can Apple take the crown for the best performance laptop on the market? We are going to answer this question, and a lot more in the following paragraphs, but first we want to talk about why this device is really special. Usually, manufacturers rely on Intel or AMD when it comes to processors and AMD and NVIDIA for their graphics cards. The truth is, Intel was in its own league for a long time, and this led to only incremental upgrades being made. Of course, Apple didn't like that. The result of this is the M1 chip. And now, it has found its way to the 16-inch MacBook Pro and is more powerful [...]

Once upon a time, the laptop was revolutionary. It was something never seen before - you could bring your computing on the go. And through the years, the technology improved so much, that we take everything we have now for granted - big screens and touchpads, powerful internals, good battery life. Then, convertible laptops came around, and once again have shaken the industry. People saw the potential of having a laptop that can act as a tablet, whenever you want.And unlike Pickachu, the laptops have finally reached their third form - foldables. Similar to some smartphones that were releas[...]

At this year's CES (2021), ASUS brought a lot of firsts to the world. It was one of the first manufacturers to introduce a mainstream laptop equipped with the Zen 3 processors, as well as the RTX 3000 series graphics cards. However, one of the notebooks there caught our eye. Although they released a super-powerful ROG Strix G733 and the ROG Zephyrus Duo, we were interested in their smallest challenger - the ROG Flow X13 (GV301). Why? Because, if it's done right, it might revolutionize the market. Not only the gamer one but the entire laptop world, based on very strong foundations.So, what[...]

Yesterday, we took a look at one of the most intriguing laptops ASUS released this year - the ROG Flow X13 (GV301). And today, we have probably the second most interesting unit. Well, it is not exactly new, as it is more like a refresh to last year's device, but the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE (GX551) does not only have a mouthful of a name. It seems like ASUS has ditched Intel for AMD's brand new Zen 3 processor architecture, and you can max out the notebook with up to the Ryzen 9 5900HX.Needless to say, you also get to choose from some Ampere graphics cards. Thankfully all of them (the RTX 3[...]

Acer's Swift X is one of the most anticipated devices this year. It aims to be a small, powerful notebook that will allow young users to play games, do professional work, and look fresh at the same time.How it plans to do it? Well, for starters, there is a low-key package, which honestly looks like any other Swift laptop out there. However, the magic happens on the inside. There, you will find an energy-efficient CPU with a lot of horsepower - the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U. As we saw with the IdeaPad 5 Pro (14") it has a lot of potential, which wasn't completely fulfilled.What was more shocki[...]

From making high-end gaming laptops to somewhat affordable office solutions, MSI is now well established in the portable computing industry. A couple of years ago, a market emerged seemingly out of nowhere - the content creator one. And last year, MSI converted its GS66 device into the MSI Creator 15. We can't say it was a total hit among its target audience, but it was good enough to deserve our "Editor's choice" award.Today, however, we mark a step in a completely different direction, regarding the design. Gone is the industrially-inspired gaming look, the sharp corners, and the boxy de[...]

Today, we will show you one of the most popular, and perhaps important laptops in the creative world. It comes from ASUS and is called the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 - a mouthful of a name. Actually, its naming gives away pretty much everything about the device.First of all, it is meant for professionals and is built with them in mind. And this is not a gimmick from the manufacturer - it indeed comes with an 8-Core 10th Gen Intel processor and the RTX 3070 with 110W of TGP (20W of them are thanks to the Dynamic Boost).Then, the Duo means that it has a secondary display, neatly call[...]
