No compromises. Desktop CPUs, G-Sync support, NVMe SSDs: Schenker's new 17-inch XMG U706 machine features almost everything that the heart of a gaming enthusiast desires. Will it be enough for our Top Ten Chart?

XMG’s latest laptop leads its class in terms of its benchmark speed, and its screen, speakers and build quality all see it head to the top of the notebook market. In other areas, though, it’s poorer: battery life is disappointing, it’s huge and hefty, and it’s disarmingly expensive. It’s a knockout gaming laptop, sure, but small desktops and cheaper, slimmer notebooks are alternatives that many should explore.

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.

Only a few laptops are in this weight class because the mobility is rather limited due to the high weight.
