REACT team assemble. The MSI Crosshair 15 Rainbow Six: Extraction Edition sports a vibrant design that caters to fans of Ubisoft's popular co-op shooter. Under the hood, we get an Intel Alder Lake-H Core i7-12700H and Nvidia RTX 3070 Laptop GPU that together take on some of the more expensive competition on the market. The inclusion of a QHD 165 Hz makes this a great all-rounder, but there are a few caveats to be aware of.

The most powerful Zenbook is the Pro 16X with an Intel Core i9-12900H and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. Supplemented by 4K OLED, a touchscreen and stylus input as well as an Asus Dial, the notebook is aimed at demanding users from the creative industry. But it can also double as a slim gamer or workstation.

Compact, fast, and versatile! Intel's NUC Extreme series has been updated to the latest 13th gen. Raptor Lake processors. Compared to its predecessor, a lot has changed in terms of the exterior design. In this review, we will evaluate the performance of the NUC 13 Extreme Kit with Intel's fastest CPU and a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with many benchmarks and technical details.

4K & AdobeRGB. The new ThinkPad X1 Extreme G5 implements current Alder Lake CPUs combined with liquid metal thermal paste, optional 5G compatibility as well as a high resolution 4K touchscreen with full AdobeRGB coverage. The device can even be equipped with GeForce RTX 3080 Ti - the fastest GPU around.

Energy-hungry powerhouse. With the Aorus 15 XE5, Gigabyte is bringing another 15.6-inch compact gaming notebook to the market. Amongst other things, the laptop shines with its impressive performance (in both gaming and non-gaming applications) and its ability to accommodate two PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

Slim studio laptop with decent computing power. Our review of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X can be summarized simply as follows: The subnotebook is compact and offers top-tier levels of performance. Even without OLED, it offers a very good screen that also ensures long battery runtimes.

Pixel overload. MSI's Creator notebook combines outstanding image values with an efficient and powerful processor as well as a separate graphics chip with implemented ray tracing. The combination seems particularly suitable for image editing/processing at a higher level.

Peerless speed! Nvidia's current GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card offers a performance we have not seen before, surpassing the former top model significantly. In this review, we examine the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4090 SG and also compare the performances of the various RTX-4090 models with each other.

Frames wise, fetti foolish. The AD103-based Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 is the company's mainstream flagship gaming GPU based on the new Ada architecture. The RTX 4080 Founders Edition comes across as a capable 4K Ultra gaming GPU with excellent thermals, noise characteristics, and power efficiency. However, the US$1,200 asking price raises questions on the card's prospects in light of the looming threat from the competition.

240 Hz panel and plenty of performance. Schenker’s new Vision 16 Pro is a 16-inch multimedia laptop with a weight of just 1.6 kg. This does not mean it lacks performance and the 240 Hz WQHD panel is powered by the current Alder Lake Core i7-12700H as well as the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

165 Hz and RTX 3060 with 140 Watts. The latest Lenovo Legion punches well above its paper specifications. If you want to avoid gaming laptops with underperforming CPUs and GeForce RTX GPUs, then this is the model to keep a close eye on.

Intel HX with the brakes applied. With the new ROG Strix Scar 17 SE from 2022, Asus offers a high-end gaming laptop with the best hardware currently available on the market. In addition to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, this also includes the Core i9-12950HX and a fast 240-Hz display.

A Love(lace)ly beast nonpareil. The RTX 4090 is a flagship GPU based on Nvidia's new AD102 Ada Lovelace architecture. While the fundamentals are similar to that of Ampere, Nvidia is offering amped-up clocks and core counts, new Tensor and RT core technologies, and an efficient TSMC custom 4N process all of which aim to make the RTX 4090 the undisputed chart leader for a long time to come. We put the RTX 4090 through the paces to see exactly how much horsepower you can get for US$1,599.

Brute force hunter. With 17 inches, an expansive cooling system, and overclocking via button press, the Predator isn't really sneaking up quietly, but rather aims to convince the gaming community with brute force. Our test shows whether this gameplan works out.
