![]() □ Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 A pocket rocket, this 14-inch mini-marvel isn't the newest machine anymore but that's just served to make it a much more affordable effort. The Raider will do around 3 hours of general use, and about one hour of intense gaming. Unplugged however things were a bit different (always the case for gaming laptops) but I could still get around 40FPS on Deathloop, which was a nice surprise.īattery life: With a massive 99.9Whr battery, you might think this would be an endurance-filled machine but gaming laptops never fare well in the battery stakes. ![]() Playing 2023's ExoPrimal with Ray Tracing and textures cranked up to max with dozens of dinosaurs on screen, I couldn't get less than 90 FPS. Performance: It's safe to say you won't be found wanting with the Raider. With a resolution of 2560x1600 and 240Hz refresh rate, you'll be able to make the most of the hardware under the hood. The metal casing is concurrent with a superb build quality.ĭisplay: It may have very visible hinges but the 17-inch QHD+ offering is very easy on the eye. ![]() Honestly, I think this sense of fun is something all gaming laptops should have, it is after all a leisure activity. That's the word that comes to mind with the RGB lights all turned on. With an NVIDIA RTX 4080 GPU, I challenge you to find any game that can push it beyond its limits. Whether it's the Star-Trek style lightbar on the front, transparent WASD keys or the frankly absurd 10 ports of various connectivity styles. This is a machine that is extra in all of the best ways. The best part of four grand for a laptop? No chance. There's a lot of substance to go with the style too. □ MSI Raider GE 78 HX The ultimate gaming laptop is super expensive but I would still recommend it wholeheartedly, and not just because it looks so great. The Alienware M16 does still lack in this department, with around 3 hours general use and only about 45 minutes of intense gaming. Our reviewer managed to play Doom: Eternal on its most demanding settings at 240FPS, maxing out the screen.īattery life: Gaming laptops are not particularly long-lasting machines, they're designed to be taken place to place yes, but then plugged in at each location. Performance: The model that we reviewed can hold its own against the worst any game dev has to offer. The refresh rate comes in at 240Hz, not quite as much as the Razer Blade 15 Advanced, but still way above what's needed. It has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a peak brightness of 450 nits. In terms of looks, although it does sport the Alienware alien head logo, this is a pretty smart looking that wouldn't cause many double-takes when out in public.ĭisplay: The 16-inch QHD screen is a standout of this laptop. Prices vary but the model we reviewed With an AMD Ryzen 9 processor and a mighty Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU showed you'll be able to put pretty much any title on the highest settings and expect a smooth gaming experience.ĭesign: This is not the lightest machine in the world at 3.26kg, but it's not sufficiently heavy that you'll dread moving it. If you want your favourite games to look and run great, better than on even the most powerful consoles of the time, then you'll need a gaming laptop (or PC) and the Alienware M16 should be the best choice for most people. It isn't the cheapest machine on this list but represents a great middle ground of price and performance. □ The Alienware M16 is an excellent package for the price, an all-around all-star that will be able to play the best games at top specs for the foreseeable.
