Fast, noisy, and powerful. Schenker combines a socketed Ryzen 9-5900X CPU with a GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. This results in a powerful laptop that strikes a good figure in the areas of gaming, video processing, and rendering. However, a long battery life, quiet operation, and low power consumption shouldn't be too important for potential buyers here.

Gaming for under 1,000 Euros. With the G15 5510, Dell targets price-conscious gamers. The 15-inch laptop offers a balanced combination of a hexa-core processor and a 4 GB graphics card in our review model. Where has the manufacturer cut corners?

More than just more VRAM! Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB is yet another high-end graphics card supposed to succeed the GeForce RTX 3080. It is Nvidia's response to repeated requests for more VRAM, and we take a closer look at this latest RTX incarnation with now 12 GB of VRAM by reviewing a model made by KFA2.

Expensive fun. Gaming laptops are often thick bricks - but not so the Acer Predator Triton 500 SE. With a relatively slim aluminum case, the Taiwanese manufacturer attacks known competitors such as the Razer Blade 17. Our detailed test reveals whether this attempt is crowned by success.

100+ W desktop CPU on a laptop. Why use a 12th gen mobile H-series CPU when you can just use a full-fledged K-series desktop CPU instead? Though performance is impressive for a laptop, users should still expect a deficit when compared to a "proper" desktop setup.

On the FPS hunt. For its Raider GE66 12UHS, MSI goes all out and equips the laptop with an Intel Core i9-12900HK, a RTX 3080 Ti, a 120 Hz 4K panel and innovative cooling. We put the 15-inch high-end behemoth to the test and find out whether it is capable of meeting the latest gaming demands.

A sprinter. A Core i7 12700H CPU and a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti laptop GPU run all current computer games smoothly on a responsive 15.6-inch screen (QHD). The notebook also offers space for up to three storage devices and comes with a Thunderbolt 4 port. Price: around US$ 2400.

Powerful hardware at an affordable price. This is exactly what the Katana GF66 offers. After the upgrade to Alder Lake, the Katana gaming laptops are even more powerful. However, to end up at a sales price of around 2000 Euros ($2142), MSI cuts some corners in many areas. With this, the gaming laptop looks better on paper than some of our measurements reveal.

Intel 12th gen update. The Alder Lake platform has done wonders for the XPS 17 series in terms of raw performance, but it comes at a cost that power users ought to be aware of.

Scar ye DNA. This year's Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533 comes with an improved WQHD 240 Hz panel along with upgrades to Intel Alder Lake Core i9-12900H and a 150 W Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a dedicated MUX switch. We find that the Scar 15 is able to check off most boxes that enthusiast gamers look out for. Areas of concern still remain, however, particularly with respect to emissions and power draws.

The Intel 12th gen update. Now in its third year, the XPS 15 9520 is another internal update to the already familiar 2020 XPS 15 9500 and 2021 XPS 15 9510. But is the fancy new Alder Lake-H CPU really enough to make a difference?

Dynamic duo. A Ryzen 9 6900HX APU and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU bring all the current games smoothly to the matte 4k screen (IPS, DCI P3, FreeSync) in the 16:10 format. They are accompanied by 4 TB of storage (RAID 0), 64 GB of working memory, and a surprisingly good battery life.

A compact gaming PC! The Magnus series from Zotac has already been known for a while. At this point, the series also includes some compact desktop PCs that are supposed to serve as work machines or as in this case, a full-blown gaming PC. The equipment reminds us of a good gaming laptop, since the compact build requires a well-designed cooling system. Find out in this review, how this worked out and what you can expect from the mobile GeForce RTX 3070.

For penny pinchers. In the most affordable version of the Victus 16, HP combines a Ryzen 5 5600H with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which promises plenty of performance for the 144-Hz FHD display. If it only wasn't for the mediocre image quality…
