Dell's first 16-inch gaming laptop. Dell's latest midrange gaming laptop isn't afraid to be bigger and heavier than others in order to squeeze more performance from the Intel 12th gen CPU and GeForce RTX 3060 GPU. Nonetheless, core temperatures could still be a little cooler across the board.

Full of surprises. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 stands out from the masses of affordable gaming laptops particularly in two aspects: The TGP of the graphics card is relatively high, and the image quality turns out surprisingly good. Find out in our test, whether this is a real insiders' tip.

The coolest gaming laptop. The external water cooler is able to do most of the heavy lifting even when set to its quietest level. It's clunkier for sure, but it's not necessarily any more cumbersome than an external GPU docking station.

Now with AMD Zen 3+ Ryzen 9 performance. The 2022 Gen 3 model is a small update to the 2021 Gen 2 model, but some of the changes are significant and even unexpected. How much of a performance difference can users expect between the two models?

E.T. says Hi! Dell has refreshed the Alienware x15 lineup with the new x15 R2. This year's x15 R2 offers internal upgrades to Intel Alder Lake-H and Nvidia RTX 30 Series Ti GPUs while retaining much of the design as the previous generation. The Alienware x15 R2 finds enough room to flex its muscles despite the thin chassis and will definitely appeal to the enthusiast gamer, but there are a few areas of concern to be aware of.

RTX 3070 Ti for 4,000 Euro? MSI wants consumers to fork out over 4,000 Euro (US$3,875) for its Creator Z17. But what makes the laptop so special for creatives that justifies the price? The Core i9-12900H and RTX 3070 Ti don't deliver the full answer. So let us examine this question in our in-depth review.

The XPS and MacBook contender. The Envy is getting bigger, but does that make it a better system? The faster performance comes at the cost of a heavier design when compared to its 15.6-inch Envy 15 predecessor.

Untapped potential. On paper, the Aspire 5 A515-57G is a very interesting laptop. For instance, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 is a rather uncommon graphics card. However, Acer messed up an otherwise good idea through unnecessary blunders and conscious cost-cutting measures.

Auspicious power is not the case with the HP Omen 17. The gaming laptop fully utilizes its potential regarding the TDP and TGP of the Intel Core i7 12700H and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. But gamers can also do things differently: if energy-saving settings are set correctly, the energy-hungry gamer becomes a meek, lamb-like laptop with a useful battery life.

Aluminum case and WQHD panel. Lenovo is offering a large 16-inch multimedia notebook in the ThinkBook 16 G4+, which is armed with a lot of power thanks to an Intel Core i7-12700H and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 as well as a good sRGB screen in 16:10 format.

The Core i5-11300H meets the RTX 3050 Ti. While most gaming laptops priced under 1,000 Euros (~$1,002) show significant weaknesses in image quality (keyword: color space), HP claims that the Pavilion Gaming 17-cd2146ng offers an sRGB coverage of 100%. We put the 17-incher through its paces.

Intel HX-CPU and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. The Lenovo Legion 7 16 offers everything that gamers desire. In addition to the fastest mobile processor from Intel, there is also the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and a fast 165 Hz display. The cooling system also manages to keep the hardware cool, but at 4,499 Euros (~US$ 4,500), the high-end gamer is by no means a bargain.

Modern hardware in a special case! Acer carries its gaming devices under the pseudonym Predator, both in laptops and desktop systems. We took a closer look at the Predator Orion 3000 based on a Core i7-12700F in combination with a GeForce RTX 3070 and show you what to expect from this system in this review.
