Laptop

Ready for 3840 x 2160 pixels. While the previous flagship model from Nvidia’s Ampere family, the GeForce RTX 3080, was often not powerful enough for the 4K resolution, the new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti might be the first notebook GPU that can handle even the most demanding games with maximum settings.

One giant leap for chip kind. Our first Alder Lake-H performance numbers are in, and enthusiasts seem to be in for a treat. We pit the Core i9-12900HK in the MSI GE76 Raider against Tiger Lake-H, AMD Cezanne Zen 3, and Apple M1 Max SoCs to see what kind of improvements one can expect with Intel's latest mobile offering. From what we see so far, Intel has finally been able to thwart both AMD and Apple in their tracks but at some expense of power.

Cezanne all the way. We compared the power efficiency of various AMD Zen 3 Cezanne APUs and their corresponding Intel Tiger Lake-H competition to see which SoCs are more power-efficient. Our results show that even the humble quad-core from Intel trails behind significantly when pitted against both high-end and mid-range AMD Zen 3 offerings.

All current laptop reviews in comparison. Grand final in the last quarter of 2021: We reviewed a total of 71 laptops including prominent candidates like the new MacBook Pro models with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors as well as the new ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4. There are also some surprises with very good test results.
