We are pleasantly surprised by the fact that manufacturers tried implementing higher TGP versions of the RTX 3000 GPU lineup in their new laptops. Some of the devices feature some sort of a visual refresh, while others, like the Pulse GL76 (12Ux) appear to be different only by the heart. And quite the difference it is – the Alder Lake CPUs of Intel completely obliterate everything we’ve previously tested, including the latest AMD 6000H series. This is a huge ace up GL76’s sleeve. Furthermore, there are two SODIMM slots for memory upgrades, and MSI conveniently chose DDR4 modules, which are far easier to get nowadays. In addition to that, this laptop supports Gen 4 drives with both of its M.2 PCIe x4 slots. On the other hand, you don’t get Thunderbolt 4 support, and one of the three USB Type-A ports is 2.0. Ideally, it should be used to connect a peripheral like a mouse, keyboard, or controller. Now, there were some things that can put you off. For example, the keyboard is really not up there for gaming. It is a bit mushy, and the key travel is short.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
