Geforce

Finally on its feet. After a series of software issues, we decided to check up once again on a different SKU of the XPS 15 to see if those problematic areas have been patched up. The results are outstanding.

Lack of endurance. Lenovo's 13.3-inch subnotebook attracts with its good connectivity. However, the battery life is, unfortunately, just middling.
Intel Core i7-5500U | NVIDIA GeForce 920M | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Skylake all-rounder. The popular UX501 series gets Skylake, DDR4, USB Type-C with Thunderbolt 2.0, and a few other minor changes. Is this a vast improvement over last year's Haswell model?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

Also a success with 15 inches? Following our review of the ThinkPad P70, we have a look at the smaller ThinkPad P50 from Lenovo. The two devices are very similar in many respects, but there are also important differences. Those include the display as well as the more complex maintenance, but also the longer battery runtimes. Our review unit also has a problem with the Turbo Boost most of the time.

Fifth time's the charm. The latest 14-inch refresh comes new with Skylake, DDR4, HDMI 2.0, USB Type-C, and a WQHD display option. Are these updates major enough to get users over the fence?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

Vapor cooler. After recently checking out the "entry-level" configuration with the G752VT, it's now time to move up to the G752VY with Asus' vaunted vapor cooling solution. Is this really a revolution for notebooks or just another empty marketing term?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M | 17.30" | 4.5 kg

Performance boost. TThe GeForce GTX 965M, which thus far has rarely been the graphics processor of choice for laptop manufacturers, has received a new breath of life. Nvidia's update has significantly increased the GPU's maximum clock rate. But how significant is the difference in performance compared to the 2015 version? Our question exactly. We used the MIFcom EG7 to uncover the answer.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

Small rocket. Serious gaming devices with a 14-inch screen are rare; the majority of gamers prefers a larger screen instead of a higher mobility. At least the compact dimensions do not prevent extreme performance, which is proven by Schenker's new device. Chassis and input devices are great. So the only thing we have to find out is whether the display, sound and emissions can meet the high expectations as well.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 14.00" | 2.2 kg

Hot performance dwarf. Skylake quad-core, GTX 970M and a decent 14-inch display: MSI’s device in the pretty narrow segment of ultra-mobile gaming notebooks can meet all the performance expectations. So much performance does, however, require some compromises in other areas.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 14.00" | 1.8 kg

Fighter jet. The new top model of MSI's GT80 series is one of the most expensive and powerful high-end notebooks in the world. However, not only the performance can set new records, but the noise development as well. Read on to find out whether the SLI configuration with two GTX 980 chips can justify the exorbitant price.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 SLI (Laptop) | 18.40" | 5 kg

Barebone gamer. Lenovo is doubling down on the gaming front with the Y700 series. The successor to last year's Y70 is better than before, yet it is still lacking in features common on competing gaming models.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 17.30" | 3.6 kg

Bring in the water! While water-cooled desktop systems are not uncommon, most notebook models are exclusively cooled by air. Asus still takes this step and presents the GX700, a combination of high-end laptop and external water-cooling. As one of the first editorial offices, we had the chance to take a closer look at the overall package.
Intel Core i7-6820HK | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (Laptop) | 17.30" | 3.9 kg

Two steps forward, one step back. The updated MSI GE62 not only involves a new CPU and USB 3.1 but also a superb FHD screen. However, the review sample's power consumption and battery life are not at all typical Skylake.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Premium all-rounder. Quad-core processor, GeForce GTX 950M graphics core and 8 GB DDR4 RAM turn the Aspire into a gaming capable multimedia all-rounder. In general, the computer left a good impression, but its display is a bit weak.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Mini gaming machine. Skylake, USB Type-C, DDR4, NVMe SSD, touchpad redesign, and HDMI 2.0 round up the list of changes for the refreshed X3 Plus. Aorus shows it means business in the already narrow sub 14-inch gaming category.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 13.90" | 1.8 kg

A balanced bundle. With the Pavilion 15-ak003ng, HP offers a well-equipped multimedia notebook in 15.6-inch format. Among other things, there is a quad-core processor, an IPS display and an SSD on board. However, it slightly tarnishes the good overall impression that the warranty is only one year.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

A familiar refresh. The jump from the Y50 to the 15.6-inch Y700 brings about a few important upgrades, but there are still some major holes in terms of features and accessibility that have yet to be implemented.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.9 kg

Hot and enduring. Long battery life is obviously appreciated, but does it benefit the task profile of the less than mobile 17-inch form factor in the case of the new notebook from HP? On the other hand, the multimedia aspects are pretty successful; the sound system in particular left a very good impression. The biggest issue is the very hot chassis temperatures.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 17.30" | 2.8 kg

Compact all-rounder. The latest model from Asus' Zenbook UX 303 series is once again a thin and nice 13.3-inch notebook. It has a lot of performance, but is still quiet in operation. The battery runtimes are unfortunately shorter compared to previous Zenbook models.
Intel Core i7-6500U | NVIDIA GeForce 940M | 13.30" | 1.5 kg

Beast of prey. Following the extremely successful V 15 Nitro, Acer presents its next gaming platform. Instead of an upper mid-range GPU, a genuine premium model is in the Predator 15. Can the GTX 980M stand up against the 15-inch competition?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M | 15.60" | 3.6 kg

The sky's the limit. Eurocom notebooks just keep getting better and better as Clevo shells continue to evolve. It's pricey, of course, but has key advantages over its closest competitors in the form of 100 percent AdobeRGB coverage and upgradeable LGA 1151 socket.
Intel Core i7-6700K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (Laptop) | 17.30" | 4.3 kg

At the limits. Schenker Technologies obviously has an eye on the performance crown with its XMG U716. The key feature of the 17-inch gaming machine is Nvidia's brand new GeForce GTX 980. How well will the 185-watt model fare against the previously tested 200-watt version?
Intel Core i7-6700 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (Laptop) | 17.30" | 4.2 kg

Full speed ahead. We have built a completely new desktop PC to be up to date for our gaming articles. It competes with high-end notebooks and we are going to use it for comparisons. Who wins the duel?
Intel Core i7-6700K | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980

Maintenance miracle. Unfortunately, this is pretty rare nowadays: The maintenance hatch, which is very easy to remove, allows access to all major components of the new multimedia notebook from Dell. Another highlight is the high-resolution 4K touchscreen and thanks to its GTX 960M GPU, it should also attract gamers. Unfortunately, some issues affect the initial good impression.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M | 15.60" | 2.7 kg

A big step forward.Hewlett Packard has eliminated some weaknesses that we had found in a previously tested Envy model. Thanks to a Skylake processor, IPS screen and solid-state drive, the new version of the Envy 15 x360 gives a considerably more finished impression. However, with a price tag of almost 1000 Euros (~$1061), the laptop is not exactly a budget device.
Intel Core i5-6200U | NVIDIA GeForce 930M | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Classy typewriter. A good build and configuration are omnipresent, and the improvements compared with the predecessor are appealing. ULV Core i7 processor meets gaming suitable 2 GB Nvidia GPU fused with 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD. The very good keyboard, thermals and system noise convince - but is everything that glitters here really gold?
Intel Core i7-5500U | NVIDIA GeForce 940M | 17.30" | 3 kg

(Quad)Core values. High-end is great, but not always required: even when equipped with a Core i5 CPU and a GeForc 945M GPU, the Acer Aspire VN7-792G offers solid performance for a price that's more than fair. The display isn't too shabby, either.
Intel Core i5-6300HQ | NVIDIA GeForce 945M | 17.30" | 3.1 kg

New revision. We already checked the Alienware 15 twice. In this review update, the gaming notebook gets a fresh Skylake processor and the fast Nvidia GTX 980M. Can Alienware keep the components of the 15-inch device cool?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M | 15.60" | 3.1 kg

Ready for games with Skylake. Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, Battlefront – autumn brings a lot of challenge for gamers. MSI has refreshed its line-up for the gaming festival and improved the GE72 a lot: Apart of an up-to-date Intel quad-core CPU, the 17-inch fireball got an IPS panel and a USB 3.1 port. However, the price went up quite a bit, too. Is this justified?
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Up to date. Intel's quad-core Skylake processor only has a slight lead over its Haswell predecessor. However, its small boost in performance is accompanied by lower energy consumption. After the release of the GS70 Haswell model, MSI also fiddled with its successor's connectivity options: Two USB 3.1 ports and an NVMe M.2 slot are now on board.
Intel Core i7-6700HQ | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M | 17.30" | 2.7 kg

Nitro reloaded. Introduced at the IFA 2015, Acer’s Nitro refresh is released in time for Christmas and the race for buyer's favor. Can the non-black edition recapture the success of the late 2014 Nitro?
Intel Core i7-6500U | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Extreme athlete. Desktop performance in a laptop? The brand new GeForce GTX 980 makes this possible. Schenker Technologies belongs to the first manufacturers launching a suitable gaming notebook. We checked whether the steep price is justified.
Intel Core i7-6700 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (Laptop) | 17.30" | 5 kg

Everything is new. Dell's new entry-level business device comes with a matte IPS display, long battery runtimes and a large maintenance hatch. Priced at almost 900 Euros (~$987), it is not a cheap system though.
Intel Core i7-5500U | NVIDIA GeForce 830M | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

Skylake on the march. Nexoc joins together the tried-and-true Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M and brand new Skylake Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU. The combo promises both high performance and reduced energy consumption. Nexoc's new device meets these expectations -- but what is a mediocre display doing in a computer in this price range?
