What do a gaming tablet, a phone/tablet controller and an online game-streaming service have in common? Well, not a lot, but if you put them all together, you can have a very, very solid gaming experience that should easily satisfy even the hardcore gamer.

It does not always have to be the absolute high-end! When it comes to gaming laptops, even the entry-level and especially the midrange models can already deliver a great overall virtual entertainment experience. We had the chance to check out some of MSI's more budget-oriented options, and they sponsored this little overview so you can get an idea of what to expect if you don't want to spend kidney-level money!

The Honour Magic8 Pro is the company's latest Android flagship, aiming to compete with the iPhone 17, the upcoming Samsung S26 Ultra, and other high-end competitors such as the Oppo Find X9 and the Vivo X300 Pro. We had the chance to test it in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and while there is not a whole lot that's new about this one, it is still a terrific phone!

The Lenovo Legion 7 follows in the footsteps of the excellent Legion Pro 7, Legion Pro 5, and our go-to "budget" recommendation, the Legion 5, and offers solid performance in a simply stunning chassis. Not everything is quite perfect though, and some of Lenovo's decision might do more harm than good!

ARC Raider is a new extraction shooter that has had many of us questioning our newfound loyalty to Battlefield 6 for about 2 weeks now. Since I had a ton of fun with the game so far, I wanted to share some performance and gameplay impressions in this new format. To give it an additional little twist, I captured this session on the Aorus Master 18 with the company's RTX 5090 eGPU, rendering the game on a 4k screen.

The Honor Magic V5 is the successor to last year's V3 that changed the game somewhat on how a foldable can still deliver an almost uncompromising "regular" smartphone experience, and the new one for 2025 improves on pretty much everything. But still ... is it enough?

The Lenovo Legion Go S was the first gaming handheld to officially ship with Steam OS, alongside the original Steam Deck, of course. We had to compare it directly to its Windows sibling, and despite almost identical hardware, well, the results are quite surprising... or not, depending on your perspective!

Vivo is back, and with the Vivo X300 Pro, they might have just released one of the most capable smartphones for photography. We had the chance for some hands-on time during the launch event in Vienna and were able to unbox the photographer kit and take some images and video samples.

If you are looking for a laptop that can simply run everything, mobility means for you, to be able to clear the table after your gaming session, and if you do not mind something that looks a bit extra, then you should definitely check out the Alienware 18 Area 51.

A gorgeous 4K tandem OLED touchscreen, high-end GPU options, an efficient AMD CPU, and all of this wrapped in a super clean, premium chassis ... sounds like too much to ask for? Well, not really, since that is everything the all-new Asus ProArt P16 brings to the table.

The 2025 refresh for ROG's handheld not only offers a new chassis and a new APU, but it is also the first device to launch with the "XBOX Fullscreen Experience" that aims to drastically streamline your gaming experience on Windows handheld. We took the ROG Ally X for a spin and will tell you if that mission was a success and what you can expect from the new hardware!

Intel has a lot riding on its next-gen SOC architecture for notebooks, code-named Panther Lake. Not only is it a showcase for their all-new 18A manufacturing process, but the new family of CPUs and integrated GPUs will likely find its way into many different devices across various categories. We have been able to get an early look at everything, so please enjoy our video!

The Razer Blade 18 for 2025 is not only one of the fastest laptops in general, but it combines impressive performance figures with class-leading build quality, a dual-mode display refreshing at up to 440 Hz, and it is also (relatively) quiet.

We got our hands on the first benchmark results for Snapdragon's fastest second-gen laptop SoC, the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme. It seems that when it comes to pure performance, they will be able to compete at the highest level... but the question is: Is that enough?

Qualcomm just unveiled their next-generation SOCs for both high-end smartphones and laptops, and they invited us to their annual Snapdragon Summit 2025 on Maui, so we can get you some early insight into the new silicon. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, they not only announced one of the fastest (the fastest?!) mobile processors to date, but with their second generation of laptop chips, you can also expect some considerable improvements!

Aloha from Maui! The good folks from Snapdragon invited us to their annual launch event, and although I cannot talk about anything new yet, I still wanted to set the mood! ;)

With the 2025 Aero X16 and the Gaming A16, Gigabyte offers two affordable options: the Aero is aimed at creators, while the A16 caters more to the gaming crowd. We had the opportunity to thoroughly test a few configurations, and the AMD Ryzen 7 and RTX 5060-equipped X16 in particular surprised us in a very positive way.

If you are looking for a laptop that you can easily and wholeheartedly recommend to your friends and family, who need "just a laptop", the Acer Aspire 16 is a great option. Powered by the latest Snapdragon* notebook processors, you get a lot of laptop for a very, very reasonable price. (Advertising)

That is often what we get to hear when reviewing high-end gaming or creator laptops. But mobility means so much more than using your laptop without an outlet in sight, and premium RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 laptops offer an incredible amount of flexibility wherever you want or need it. So we put together a few different setups and use cases to show you guys what it truly means to live that #laptoplifestyle ;) (Advertising)

Asus updated their super sleek creator laptop, and the ProArt P16 can now be yours with up to an RTX 5090, vapour chamber cooling, and a new display. And the new 4K 120Hz VRR-capable display, which apparently reaches up to 1600 Nits, might very well be one of the best laptop displays on the market right now.

The Lenovo Go is back with its second version, and is setting out to compete with the Asus ROG XBox Ally X and MSI's Claw 8. Considering the detachable controller and 144 Hz OLED with VRR capabilities, the massive 8.8" Windows-based handheld already has a lot going for it.

HP is back, and the all-new Omen Max 16 not only looks incredibly clean (for a gaming laptop) but also backs it up with solid results in our performance testing. We have been able to test both the RTX 5080 IPS display variant and the high-end SKU, betting on a 5090 and a 240 Hz OLED.

As a passionate Gamer, Gamescom, one of the world's biggest events for gaming and the gaming lifestyle, is always something to look forward to. For 2025, I took you with me to everything I was allowed to test and see for myself, and I will also walk you through my setup that made our coverage possible.

Lenovo's LOQ-series marks their most affordable offering into the world of gaming laptops, and while the LOQ 15 is not a particularly bad laptop, for just a little bit more, you can already get the excellent Legion 5. So does the difference and the prospect of sales still make the RTX 5060 laptop a viable option, if you are on a tighter budget?

HP's all-new 14" workstation is so far the only laptop we have been able to test, betting on AMD's Strix Halo silicon, offering an integrated GPU performing on the level of dedicated solutions.

It is once again time for AMD, Intel and Qualcomm to get Head-to-Head with each other, and today we let the all-new Lenovo ThinkPad T14s powered by Intel's Lunar Lake silicon, compete with its siblings. So let us see which CPU is the best fit for one of the most flexible business laptops you can get right now in mid-2025.

The mobile RTX 5070 Ti is pretty much the sweet spot in Nvidia's laptop line-up when it comes to price and performance. That said, some notebooks with the new GPU remain quite expensive, but the MSI Vector 16HX is one of the most affordable options available.

The Razer Blade 16, in its Nvidia RTX 5090 config, offered some impressive performance results in a super slim package, but it has also been incredibly expensive. We got our hands on an RTX 5080 config, and at around 1000 bucks less, for most users, this would be the much better deal, should you be looking for a powerful, extremely well-made, thin & light performance laptop

Razer's latest (gaming-)headset, the updated Blackshark V3 Pro, might look similar to their predecessors, but internally, pretty much everything, from the much better sounds to the even better microphone, all the way to the inclusion of active noise cancelling, has been updated, added to, or improved. This turns a pair of wireless headphones aimed at gamers into pretty much the perfect headset for (almost) everything.

With the ROG Scar 16, Asus has scaled down the already excellent 18" version into a much more portable form, all while maintaining the same "clean" design, fantastic Mini-LED display, great port selection, and impressive performance. However, there is also the Strix G16, which features a standard IPS panel but generally shares the same qualities. In its RTX 5080 configuration, it once again raises the value question compared to RTX 5090 laptops.

During a time when gaming laptops have become much more subtle in their styling and gotten a lot more portable, Alienware is staying true to their roots. Their latest gaming laptop, the Alienware 16 Area 51, may be one of the biggest 16" notebooks, but also features a new design, powerful internals, impressive gaming performance and excellent fan noise behaviour!

After the excellent Legion Pro 7i covering the high-end, the Legion Pro 5 being one of the fastest RTX 5070 Ti laptops we have tested so far, the Lenovo Legion 5 might already be the "best" mainstream gaming laptop for 2025.

With the Aorus Master 16, Gigabyte's gaming brand adds a true high-end laptop to their line-up, and while the 16" is not quite perfect, with an RTX 5090, Intel HX CPU, and a 240Hz OLED, there is a lot to like for gamers, and even potential workstation users.

Razer basically invented the "original" gaming mouse, and continued to push the boundaries of how much tech you can put in mice that get lighter with every iteration. The all-new DeathAdder V4 Pro follows that trend and might be one of the most advanced mice aimed at e-sports pros and enthusiasts on the market right now. But is this is something you would notice, and does it make for a better gaming experience?

With the all-new Legion Pro 5, Lenovo is challenging the competition with another redesigned gaming laptop that combines class-leading performance (at least in our Intel + Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti config) with a gorgeous G-Sync OLED. That said, they also sacrificed a few of the traditional Legion qualities, and the 16" gamer can get very audible.

What is a gaming laptop? We believe the answer to that question has changed significantly over the past few years, and it is also a very subjective one. Together with NVIDIA, we attempted to answer it nonetheless, so we took the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and the Gigabyte Aero X16 to New York to see what kind of mobile gaming experience you can expect while being away from home.

The 18" MSI Raider A18 is one of the only laptops in 2025 that combines Nvidia's RTX 5080 or even the RTX 5090 with the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, and it is indeed a great combination. In some cases, our 5080 sample can outperform even 5090 laptops, but this will vary significantly depending on settings and the games you are playing. That said, the Raider is still a simply insane gaming laptop, with some compromises along the way.

The ASUS ProArt P16 not only offers a very sleek and well-made chassis with tons of ports and a snappy 120Hz OLED display, but thanks to the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370 CPU it also sports the perfect combination of performance and endurance for your content creator lifestyle. With the help of AMD and ASUS, we organised a professional photoshoot to show you guys how the ProArt P16 has your back when it comes to photography, retouching, and video production. (Advertorial)

While we did our initial reviews for the ROG Zephyrus G14 in its RTX 5080 configuration, and with the RTX 5090 for the bigger Zephyrus G16, many of you guys asked for updated results with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti.

With the release of AMD's Fire Range HX CPUs, and the 16-core flagship, the 9955HX3D Team Red finally competes with Intel in the race for the fastest, high-end laptop CPU once again. We have tested the new silicon against Intel's offering in the Neo 16, combined with an RTX 5090, so let us see who will win in 2025.

#Ad MSI bets big, on big, and with the Dragon Edition Norse Myth for the Titan 18 HX, the AMD X3D-powered Raider A18 HX and the sleek, yet powerful Stealth 18 HX AI, we had the chance to check out three very different laptops betting on high-res 4K displays.

With the release of Qualcomm's Windows on ARM Snapdragon platform, we got a new contender in the world of mobile CPUs since mid-2024. But both AMD and Intel make really good silicon as well, and we had the chance to test both the Surface Laptop 7 15 and the Surface Pro against their Snapdragon-powered siblings.

#Ad MSI just launched a plethora of new devices at Computex 2025, and alongside new RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 laptops, we got our hands on some new special editions, the first AMD Z2 Extreme-powered handheld, and an early look at their next-gen productivity laptops.

Razer just refreshed their 14" and upgraded to an RTX 5070 or RTX 5060 running at 115W in a much thinner chassis. As per usual, overall build quality is simply second-to-none, but especially with the G14, there is some very stiff competition happening within this form factor. We had a chance to get some early hands-on time with this beauty, so please enjoy our little preview video and stay tuned for the full review, which we hope will be coming soon!

During Computex 2025, we had the chance to test early samples of MSI's new Stealth A16 with an RTX 5060 and the massive Crosshair 18 HX powered by an RTX 5070, and we actually got some pretty interesting results. The RTX 5060 especially looks like a very solid mobile GPU that does not break the bank!

Logitech just launched its new gaming headset, the G522. With a clean new look, incredible comfort, and a class-leading microphone, it could very well be the ultimate crowd pleaser in the world of midrange headsets. We had the chance to try the headphones for a couple of weeks, so please enjoy our little review.

We just visited the good folks from Zotac right here in Taiwan to see what they had on display for Computex 2025. As an update for their first handheld, the Zotac Zone, they showed us a prototype powered by AMD's Strixpoint APU and running a custom Linux Manjaro Distro instead of Windows. In addition, you will soon be able to get a mini-PC combining a mobile CPU with a desktop 5060 Ti 16GB, and for all your SFF needs, their new RTX 5060 might be the smallest desktop GPU in the world right now.

While we have seen many flagship laptops powered by RTX 5080s and 5090s already, more affordable options with 5070s and 5060s have been absent so far. Thankfully, Nvidia just officially launched its most affordable mobile GPU at Computex in Taiwan, and we had the chance to check out some new notebooks from Asus. Please enjoy our video, and for more info, check out our news coverage right here on the website.

It is time for Computex 2025 in Taipei, Taiwan, once again. Before we jump into the week filled with new tech and laptops, I wanted to give you guys an overview of our content creation setup. I changed things up quite a bit to keep up with our video production and the occasional game, so please enjoy our video.

With the Predator Triton 14, Acer put together one of the most interesting laptops we have seen this year so far, and that already says a lot. The super sleek 14" laptop bets on Intel's Lunar Lake CPU, and as a first, in this combination, Acer combined the efficient silicon with a dGPU in the form of Nvidia's new RTX 5070. We had a chance to get some early hands-on time with this beauty, so please enjoy our little preview video and stay tuned for the full review, which we hope will be coming soon!
