Nvidia will soon be launching its GeForce Now service in India, and we had a chance to take an early sneak peek at the service. The technology demo felt very promising and has the potential to be a good hit, but many details about the service are still anybody's guess despite a Q1 2026 launch promise.

Lenovo has shown off the Yoga Book Pro 3D at MWC 2026. As its name implies, it is made for 3D artists, and it comes with a 50 MP RGB camera that is capable of detecting hand gestures.

The Khadas Mind Pro, powered by the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H and up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X RAM, is a super portable and powerful mini PC. The mini PC has been tested in synthetic benchmarks and a variety of AAA games. The results are quite impressive.

Moore’s Law is Dead has acquired new information about Nvidia’s upcoming flagship graphics card. The RTX 5090 Ti/ Blackwell Titan is only marginally faster than the RTX 5090, but it conumes remarkably more power.

The XMG Apex 17 is primarily an extremely fast RTX 5060 gaming laptop—but after calibration, its QHD display reveals surprisingly strong qualities for content creators. With full DCI-P3 coverage and very low DeltaE values, the panel achieves excellent color accuracy. This means the powerful 17-inch laptop could be appealing not only for gamers, but also for photo and video editing.

High-performance gaming laptops are often loud—but the XMG Apex 17 proves that quiet gaming doesn’t have to mean slow gaming. In our testing, switching from Performance mode to Entertainment mode reduces fan noise by up to 60%, while gaming performance drops by only 10 to 12 percent. Here’s how much speed you really lose—and whether quiet mode is the better choice for everyday gaming.

The XMG Apex 17 is one of the fastest gaming laptops equipped with a GeForce RTX 5060—but that level of performance comes at a price, and that price is now climbing even higher. Manufacturer Schenker has increased the base price to €2,049. This suddenly puts the RTX-5060 laptop into the same pricing territory as some RTX-5070-Ti models. This article explains what’s behind the price increase and whether the Apex 17 is still worth considering.

In our review of the XMG Apex 17, it’s not just the GeForce RTX 5060 delivering strong gaming performance — the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX inside sets a new standard for this class. In our CPU benchmarks, the Apex 17 achieves faster multi-core performance than any other RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 gaming laptop we’ve tested so far.

The supply crunch affecting the RTX 5070 Ti has resulted in the price of the GPU rising by 25% in the US. The GPU now costs $1,000 on average. The RX 9070 XT, AMD's value-oriented answer to the RTX 5070 Ti, has also suffered a 21% price hike. The GPU now reportedly sits at $700 in North America.

In our review, we noted that the RTX 5060 laptop powered by the Ryzen 9 9955HX can outperform some RTX 5070 competitors. Now we’re taking a closer look at exactly which RTX-5070 laptops the Apex 17 manages to outperform—and where it falls behind.

The Arc B390 may be powerful, but it can't quite outperform the 2024 XPS 14 GeForce RTX 4050 in many applications outside of synthetic 3DMark benchmarks.

It is now reported that the price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB has increased quite a lot in Germany. The GPU is now much closer in price to the RTX 5070 than at launch. The RTX 5070 has reportedly also seen a sharp price hike.

A new report from Overclockers says Nvidia could launch a new graphics card this year. The source explicitly stated it is not related to the RTX 50 Super lineup, which was widely believed to launch in 2026.

Hardware Unboxed has alleged that the RTX 5070 Ti is going to get even more expensive in the coming weeks. The RTX 5070 Ti is among the GPUs that Nvidia seems to have discontinued or, at the very least, scaled back the production of. As a result, the RTX 5070 Ti has shot up in price.

The Information reports that Nvidia might not launch any new RTX 50 series GPUs this year, effectively delaying the RTX 50 Super lineup. Even the next-gen RTX 60 SKUs have been delayed.

The Nvidia N1X ARM APU is reportedly Team Green's first APU specifically designed for Windows laptops. However, a prominent leaker claims that Nvidia N1X has tons of bugs and issues, which could be the reason why there have been no signs of N1X-powered notebooks launching soon.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 is definitely a flagship model and offers perfect build quality, good maintenance options, a modern tandem OLED screen and very good input devices. We would like to see these features in more ThinkPads again.

Lenovo's ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 is a sleek and powerful multimedia laptop, which does not use professional graphics cards. The problem is that most customers simply do not recognize the new model name.

SD card readers have almost completely disappeared from gaming laptops, especially in the budget segment. Models such as the MSI Katana 17, Lenovo LOQ 17, and Omen 16 no longer include one at all. Acer is taking a different approach with its Nitro lineup: both the Nitro V 14 and the Nitro V 17 still feature a built-in SD card reader. We put this into perspective and explain how well the card reader actually performs—and who will truly benefit from it in everyday use.

No one expects an OLED or Mini-LED panel in the budget segment. A modern Full HD display with decent brightness, reasonable response times, and acceptable color reproduction, however, is a fair expectation. This is exactly where the Acer Nitro V 17 shows one of its biggest weaknesses. Acer cuts corners on the display to a degree that makes it stand out negatively—even among budget competitors—and this alone could be a dealbreaker for many buyers.

The Acer Nitro V 17 and Lenovo LOQ 17 are currently among the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops equipped with Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics. Both start at around €1,249, yet despite similar pricing and comparable core specs, they take noticeably different approaches. We’ve tested both models and break down which laptop is the better fit for which type of gamer.

In our test, the Acer Nitro V 17 stands out as one of the most power-efficient RTX 5070 gaming laptops in its class. It may not be the fastest option available, but it makes up for that with significantly lower power draw, noticeably quieter operation, and an unusually well-balanced performance package for budget-conscious gamers.

In addition to the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, Nvidia is reportedly also halting the production of the RTX 5060. The information comes on the heels of a controversy surrounding Asus first confirming the discontinuation of the RTX 5070 Ti to Hardware Unboxed and later walking back the confirmation.

The Acer Nitro V 17 AI is currently one of the most affordable 17-inch gaming laptops with an RTX 5070. Our test shows that, despite the low price, Acer delivers more than just performance – the laptop impresses with efficiency and surprisingly quiet operation.

A concerning report regarding the imminent increase in the price of AMD and Nvidia GPUs has come out of Taiwan. Following MSI's recent RTX 50 and RX 9000 GPU price hikes, Asus and Gigabyte are reportedly also going to implement a price increase for their GPU catalogues by the end of January 2026.

Nvidia claims that the internet is full of misinformation about RTX 50 series graphics cards. The manufacturer has clarified that no GPUs face retirement because of higher memory prices. Also, other sources reveal that Nvidia is taking measures to insulate Blackwell cards during the crisis.

It’s looking increasingly likely that the RTX 50 Super series may never ship. A fresh rumor claims Nvidia has told third-party manufacturers that the release is on hold indefinitely. With high memory prices and a shortage, Nvidia prefers to allocate any spare VRAM to its AI solutions.

Nvidia's latest DLSS 4.5 upscaling now uses a 2nd gen Transformer model that promises improved visual fidelity. While all RTX GPUs can leverage DLSS 4.5 super resolution, older RTX 20 and RTX 30 series cards may suffer a performance penalty owing to lack of FP8 and FP4 units in their Tensor cores. Also on offer is dynamic multi-frame generation up to 6x on RTX 50 series Blackwell GPUs.

Asus has refreshed the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 with Intel Panther Lake CPUs and Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. It also comes with two 16-inch 3K 120 Hz OLED panels.

CES 2026 sees the debut of the more potent MSI Raider 16 Max HX gaming laptop. The 16-inch notebook downsizes its exterior while seeking to unlock the potential of a Core Ultra 200HX CPU. With visuals provided by an available RTX 5090, a QHD+ OLED screen arrives as another upgrade.

MSI has unveiled a new Stealth 16 AI+ Copilot+ PC at CES 2026 powered by the latest Intel Pather Lake-H Core Ultra 9 386H, up to a 125 W Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop, and up to 128 GB DDR5 RAM. The Stealth 16 AI+ now comes with a new Cooler Boost Intra Flow designed for the thin chassis while also featuring a QHD+ 240 Hz OLED panel, Wi-Fi 7, and up to a 90 Whr battery.

Some retailers may soon stop selling Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs altogether. A German distributor has placed order limits on the RTX 5070 Ti, while the more expensive RTX 5090 becomes scarcer. With inflated memory prices and shortages, GDDR7 VRAM used in graphics cards is harder to obtain.

Hardware Unboxed has revealed the worst GPUs of 2025. The cards listed by the outlet are primarily those with 8 GB of VRAM. Interestingly, the RTX 5080 has also made the list due to its value proposition and performance.

The cheapest option may not necessarily be the best one. While the RTX 5050 SKU runs a bit cooler, the small cost savings arguably don't justify the much larger performance advantages that the RTX 5060 option brings.

Intel and Nvidia are officially developing x86 chips for future Windows laptops. Intel Serpent Lake architecture could be a result of this partnership. RedGamingTech claims that Intel could use an Nvidia RTX iGPU for the Serpent Lake APUs.

Nvidia GeForce Now is about to impose 100-hour monthly limits on all gamers. For the most active users, purchasing additional time will make subscription fees skyrocket. A new comparison shows whether they are better served by building a gaming PC, even with DDR5 RAM prices at record highs.

The new Asus ProArt P16 is easily the most powerful multimedia laptop with Windows. We compare the high-end RTX 5090 SKU with Apple's fastest laptop, the MacBook Pro 16 powered by the M4 Max.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5000 Super graphics cards and laptop GPUs have already fallen victim to the DRAM crisis. Now, the next GPU shortage could be imminent, as Nvidia is expected to reduce production of gaming graphics cards by up to 40% in the first half of 2026.

The desktop GeForce RTX 5070, equipped with 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM, now comes in a tiny single-fan form factor. Colorful's new iGame GeForce RTX 5070 Mini OC is tailored for compact mini-ITX gaming rigs.
