Verdict
If you’re looking for a current gaming laptop in the 1,000-euro range, the T6 V3.5 from Tulpar Notebook might be a good fit. With the GeForce RTX 5060, the 16-inch model offers a solid mid-range GPU paired with a fast Core i7-14700HX (which, however, loses some performance under sustained load). Our test unit also included 32 GB of DDR5 RAM (2×16 GB) and a 1 TB NVMe SSD.
Buyers can expect standard fare when it comes to the casing. The chassis is made entirely of plastic and has a rather understated design. There is also room for improvement in terms of connectivity (no card reader, no USB4). The display meets the expectations for this price segment. The 165 Hz IPS-based panel (1,920 × 1,200 pixels) offers usable brightness and fairly good color space coverage, which isn’t something all competitors can claim (more on that in a moment). Emissions, including temperature and noise levels, are generally in line with other gaming laptops, although the fan control could be better.
Overall, the Tulpar T6 V3.5 remains competitive with more well-known brands, making it worth considering.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Tulpar T6 V3.5 is currently available starting at around €1,160 (approx. $1,345) on the manufacturer’s website.
Translator’s note: Monster’s laptops are not yet officially available in North America.
Competitors to the Tulpar T6 V3.5 include the Acer Nitro V 16 AI, the Alienware 16 Aurora and the HP Omen 16, all of which are also reasonably priced. The slightly more expensive Gigabyte Gaming A16 with an RTX 5070 and the current RTX 5060 reference model, the Lenovo Legion 5, also appear in our comparison tables.
Specifications
Case
The plastic housing offers more than decent stability and is neatly finished in most areas. The hinges work unobtrusively for the most part, although the maximum opening angle of approximately 135° is not particularly generous. The dark gray surfaces give the laptop a fairly discreet appearance as long as the keyboard backlighting is turned off.
With a weight of 2.4 kg, the T6 V3.5 is right in line with other 16-inch competitors, which range from 2.3 to 2.6 kg, aside from the lighter Legion 5. Its 2.5 cm thickness is also typical for this class.
Equipment
Connections
The ports are spread across nearly every side of the chassis. While it lacks USB 4 or Thunderbolt, the system still provides four USB ports (two Type-A and two Type-C). External displays are easiest to connect via HDMI. A Gigabit LAN port, a headphone jack, and a Kensington lock slot are also included.
Communication
The built-in wireless module is a faster option. Intel’s Wi-Fi 6E AX211 delivers solid to excellent performance in both transmit and receive tests.
Webcam
The image quality of the webcam is less impressive, which - as with many laptops - could have done with a higher resolution.
Accessories
The notebook comes with a few information booklets, a cleaning cloth and a medium-sized 230-watt power supply unit.
Maintenance
A total of twelve Phillips screws have to be removed before you can pry the bottom cover out of its mounts. Under the hood, you’ll find a cooling system with two fans, along with two RAM slots and two SSD slots. The battery is also accessible from here.
Sustainability
Unfortunately, the packaging uses a large amount of plastic.
Guarantee
Tulpar Notebook provides a 24-month warranty on the device and advertises a “lifetime free maintenance service.” We visited the manufacturer in Berlin some time ago, and the related article covers this maintenance service in detail.
Tulpar S8 V1.1 18" gaming laptop: Pure Power for the Ultimate Gaming Experience
The Tulpar S8 V1.1 is a high-end gaming laptop where exceptional performance meets an extensive feature set and a massive 18-inch display. The combination of an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX delivers maximum power for gaming and demanding workloads. A robust cooling system ensures consistently stable performance without compromise.
A standout feature of the Tulpar S8 V1.1 is its IPS LED panel, designed specifically for gamers. With a 2560×1600 resolution and a 240 Hz refresh rate, the huge 18-inch screen provides vivid, ultra-smooth gameplay. The display also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space, making it well-suited for creative professionals.
Fully equipped like a desktop PC, the Tulpar S8 V1.1 supports up to 192 GB of DDR5-4400 RAM and offers four M.2 SSD slots, eliminating any concerns about memory or storage limitations. The laptop also includes dual RJ45 ports, HDMI 2.1, and two Thunderbolt 5 (DisplayPort 2.1) ports. A powerful five-speaker audio system rounds out the premium experience.
The Tulpar S8 V1.1 can be fully customized in the Tulpar online store to match your exact requirements.
Input devices
Keyboard
The keyboard doesn’t stand out in most areas, for better or worse. The layout is a strong point, though, as it sticks closely to a standard arrangement and offers well-sized arrow keys. Typing feel is acceptable, but the backlighting could be brighter even at its highest setting.
Touchpad
There’s still room for improvement with the touchpad, as gesture recognition isn’t always reliable. Otherwise, it offers solid precision and smooth gliding. The surface area of roughly 12.1 by 8.3 cm is more than adequate for a 16-inch laptop. As with several competitors, the click mechanisms sound a bit rattly.
Display
The T6 V3.5 features a matte 165 Hz panel. Its average brightness of 403 cd/m² is solid for an IPS display and makes the laptop usable in brighter environments, as long as the sunlight isn’t too strong or hitting the screen directly.

* ... smaller is better
Although the 16-inch display falls short of AdobeRGB and DCI-P3 coverage, it nearly fully covers the sRGB space, which is what matters for most gamers. Out of the box, there’s a noticeable blue tint, but calibration fixes it easily.
The black level could be better at 0.39 cd/m², but the contrast still exceeds 1,000:1, which is typical for this class.
Response times are also strong compared with competing models. However, our test unit showed noticeable screen bleeding, mainly along the sides and in the corners.

Performance
The Tulpar T6 V3.5 is a mid-range system that’s capable of handling almost any task. Aside from the operating system, RAM capacity, and M.2 storage configuration, the manufacturer’s website doesn’t offer additional customization options.
Test conditions
The preinstalled Control Center provides three operating modes. Since the performance mode didn’t meaningfully increase CPU or GPU output in our testing but did increase noise, all of our benchmarks were run in Entertainment mode.
| Mode | Silent | Entertainment | Performance |
| Cyberpunk 2077 Noise | 34 dB(A) | 52 dB(A) | 56 dB(A) |
| Cyberpunk 2077 frame rate (FHD/Ultra) | 62.4 fps | 81.8 fps | 82.3 fps |
| CPU PL1 | 28 W | 46 W | 55 W |
| CPU PL2 | 30 W | 115 W | 155 W |
| Cinebench R15 Multi Score | 1441 Points | 3743 Points | 3794 Points |
Processor
The Core i7-14700HX is a fast processor from the now-familiar Raptor Lake generation (10 nm). It offers eight performance cores with Hyper-Threading and twelve efficiency cores without it, for a total of up to 28 parallel threads. In our benchmarks, the T6 V3.5 performed slightly below the typical average for this CPU. More concerning is that in the Cinebench loop, performance dropped sharply after only a few runs. This doesn’t reflect well on the system’s power management or cooling performance, and the issue persisted even in Performance mode.

Storage devices
Unlike the CPU, the storage system maintains its full performance over time, which can’t be said for all competitors. Even so, the built-in 1 TB Western Digital drive lands on the lower end in SSD benchmarks, with especially weak write speeds.

GPU performance
The graphics card also fails to reach its full potential. Although the GeForce RTX 5060 is rated for its full 115-watt TGP on paper (including 15 watts of Dynamic Boost), real-world performance comes in slightly below the typical RTX 5060 average and sits roughly at the level of the Alienware 16 Aurora.

Gaming performance
In gaming benchmarks, the performance gap narrows, and the Tulpar T6 V3.5 generally delivers what you’d expect. Older or less demanding titles run very smoothly at max settings, but newer, CPU-heavy games like Borderlands 4 sometimes require upscaling even at the native Full HD+ resolution.
With DLSS Balanced Transformer enabled, for example, Black Ops 7 improved from 32 to 49 fps at the Extreme preset with high ray tracing. With quadruple frame generation added, the system reached 141 fps, although the perceived improvement isn’t a direct 1:1 match with the numbers.

Stress test
The throttling Core i7-14700HX completed the combined Furmark and Prime95 stress test at around 70 °C, which is completely harmless. The GeForce RTX 5060 also leveled out at roughly 70 °C.
Speakers
Because the built-in 2.0 speakers offer limited sound quality, especially in the bass range, using an external audio system is recommended for long-term use.
