Gaming meets high-end multimedia. Asus' new ROG Zephyrus G16 features a completely new and considerably slimmer design, with a target market in mind that goes beyond just gamers. The resulting product is a high-quality 16-inch laptop with an impressive OLED panel and excellent speakers that can easily compete with Apple's MacBook Pro or the Razer Blade 16.

Focused. This HP gaming laptop comes with a fitting level of specs, boasting a Core i9, an RTX 4080, a PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB), 32 GB of RAM, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a QHD display (G-Sync, 240Hz). Despite having powerful components, the notebook only produces a moderate amount of noise – with the right settings.

OLED or Mini-LED? Laptop manufacturers don't have it easy at the moment. Intel Gen 14 has hardly delivered any improved performance, there are no new Nvidia GPUs to install—so what reasons can you give customers to purchase your yearly laptop updates? Razer sees its answer in its display: The world's first 16-inch 240-Hz OLED made by Samsung is what the manufacturer advertizes. Is its new display truly that good and are there any other new features? Our test will find out.

Ryzen 9 8945HS Hawk Point push. Razer is starting off the new year strong with a minor but solid refresh of its smallest Blade series. Most users will overlook the CPU AI enhancements, but the minor GPU changes help the 2024 Blade 14 pull out ahead of last year's model.

Great performance, but somewhat loud. The GeForce RTX 4080 Super is Nividia’s fastest model in the current Ada Lovelace refresh and offers more performance than its predecessor on paper. The new models have even received a price cut. We checked out the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 Super SG to analyse how good the performance really is.

AD104 done just right. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC presents a faster AD104 die and better cooling that fully distinguishes it from the Founders Edition card. The RTX 4070 Super Gaming OC offers palpable gains over the RTX 3090 and the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. Our review looks into whether this is worth the US$50 moolah over the RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition.

Thunderbolt and DCI-P3, yes or no? In contrast to Dell's Alienware series, the Dell G16 covers the mid-range segment of gaming laptops. The 2024 model relies neither on Intel's new Gen 14 chips nor on its Ultra CPUs—but in turn, its price is kept relatively low and on paper, it features a decent display. Our detailed review will uncover the laptop's strengths and weaknesses.

Powerful picture. With the Omen 16, buyers are spoiled for choice between the "normal" version and the so-called Transcend variant which, in many respects, hardly differ from one another. Read our review to discover how the 16-inch device fares against the competition.
Intel Core i9-14900HX | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU | 16.00" | 2.3 kg

Super-lative to the RTX 3090. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super retails for the same original price of US$599 as the RTX 4070 while offering nearly 21% higher shader counts. We evaluate how this benefits synthetic benchmarks and games in comparison with other cards, particularly against Team Red's offerings such as the Radeon RX 7800 XT that retails for US$100 less. Updated with thermals and noise measurements.

Flagship. The Scar 18 is currently one of the most powerful laptops. The Core i9-14900HX and GeForce RTX 4090 enable 4k gaming, video processing, and rendering. The bright and vibrant mini-LED display (18 inch, 2560x1600 pixel) is a feast for the eyes.

The biggest competitor to Apple's MacBook Pro 14? The new ROG Zephyrus G14 hasn't set its focus on maximum performance anymore—instead, Asus aims to speak to a larger audience with the help of the laptop's slimmer and more compact aluminum case. The result is an astounding gaming/multimedia hybrid that offers great performance and only features a handful of weaknesses.

Nearly smashes the pavilion. HP aims to tap into the burgeoning entry-level creator market with the Pavilion Plus 16. The Pavilion Plus 16 is among the few laptops to feature the RTX 3050 6 GB GPU along with a Core i7-13700H, 16 GB RAM, and a QHD+ 120 Hz IPS display. While decent in its own right, comparison with similar laptops shows HP could have minimized some of the compromises for an even more compelling ₹1,24,999 (US$1,350) proposition.

Unabashedly big with 175 W GeForce RTX graphics. Thin-and-light gaming laptops are nice and all, but they often shave off some GPU performance in order to reach a certain size and weight. The MSI Vector 16 HX is unabashedly big in order to preserve and improve graphics performance as much as possible.

Its new Core i7-14650HX in combination with the RTX 4060 Laptop power a fast 240-Hz QHD panel. Of course, AI functions are also on board in the year 2024—but to no effect.

Ultimate HDR laptop for $5000. MSI's biggest and fastest gaming laptop is back this year with an even larger screen size than before. The redesign aligns with Intel's latest Raptor Lake-HX refresh and is the first 18-inch MSI laptop ever since the old GT80 series from several years ago.

Not a lightweight. For the G15 5530, Dell is going against the trend of slimming down devices and has given the 15-inch laptop a fairly bulky and heavy chassis. We compared the G15 with other RTX 4050 gaming laptops to find out whether the €1,000 (US$1,090) model is worth the money.
