Lenovo's Yoga 7 14 Convertible is not only much cheaper than the Yoga 9, but also better in some respects

Lenovo offers a wide product lineup and it is not easy always easy to find the right device. It is even more complicated when you have two very similar products like the two 14-convertibles we just tested, where the less expensive Yoga 7 is actually better than the Yoga 9 in some respects.

Lenovo RTX 5050 laptop joins LG Gram Pro 16 and Razer Blade in early entry-level Nvidia leaks

Despite Nvidia's radio silence about the existence of entry-level GeForce RTX 5050 and 5060 GPUs, LG, Lenovo, and Razer have already — seemingly by accident — confirmed next-gen RTX 5050 and 5060 upgrades for their entry-level gaming laptops.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 RTX 5090 comes in slower than many older RTX 4090 laptops

Uh oh — we all knew that the mobile GeForce RTX 5090 can operate under a wide TGP range, but 120 W may be too low for comfort as the performance benefits over the mobile RTX 4090 begin to disappear.

Latest GeForce RTX 5090 laptops are just barely faster than a desktop RTX 5070, but there is one key differentiator

GeForce RTX 5090 laptops perform almost identically to a desktop RTX 4070 Ti Super

Gaming performance with the flagship mobile RTX 5090 is closer to an upper midrange last generation GPU for desktop PCs. While somewhat disappointing, the power savings with the newer mobile chip arguably make up for it.

The mobile GeForce RTX 5090 maxes out at 175 W compared to 500+ W on the desktop RTX 5090. Consequently, even the fastest mobile RTX 5090 is just barely better than the 150 W or 160 W versions based on our ongoing tests.
