ASUS has officially unveiled its new ROG Strix Scar 17 Special Edition gaming laptop, packing Intel's very latest Core i9-12950HX "Alder Lake-HX" processor with the CPU overclocked to a huge 5.2GHz when needed.

The Intel Core i9-12950HX processor has 8 Performance and 8 Efficiency cores, which boost up to 5.2GHz -- and an insane 175W of power, up from 65W -- when the GPU is disabled. This means for content creation it's perfect -- CPU cranking up to 5.2GHz -- while gaming-wise you've got the RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU.

NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU has a maximum TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost, the highest wattage of any GPU used inside of a ROG laptop. There's a 17-inch display with the option of 1080p @ 360Hz or 1440p @ 240Hz, content creators and gamers shouldn't bother with the 1080p model, moving right into the 1440p panel (ASUS, it's disappointing to not see a 4K 120Hz option) on this high-end laptop.

ASUS is prepping its monster new ROG Strix Scar 15 gaming laptops, which will be getting an upgraded CPU with Intel's new Alder Lake-HX processors.

The new ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 gaming laptop will see a new flagship model packing the Core i9-12900H (14-core CPU) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with a TDP of 150W. ASUS is hosting its new "Boundless: For Those Who Dare" event tomorrow, where we should get the official introduction.

Expect DDR5 memory + PCIe 5.0 support, and what I'm sure will be a monster 1440p 240Hz or 4K 120Hz display. The Intel Core i9-12900H processor inside will be overclocked, smashing up to 5.2GHz inside of a gaming laptop... impressive to see, another thing I want to see is how the thermals are with the ASUS cooling system used on the ROG Strix Scar 15.

Lenovo has just unveiled its new ultra-high-end gaming laptop, which features both AMD's best CPU and GPU silicon. Introducing the new Lenovo Legion 7 gaming laptop, check it out:

The new Lenovo Legion 7 gaming notebook goes by the model "16ARH7A" and packs a 16-inch display with a native 2560 x 1660 resolution and up to 240Hz refresh rate. Inside, you can configure the Legion 7 notebook with either AMD's new Ryzen 9 6900HX or Ryzen 7 6800H "Rembrandt" APUs.

Both of these CPUs offer 8 cores and 16 threads, and are based on AMD's latest Zen3+ architecture and made on TSMC's latest 6nm process node. Lenovo actually offers two different GPU options as well, with the Radeon RX 6850M XT which has 12GB of GDDR6 and has up to 2275MHz Game Clock, as well as the Radeon RX 6700M with 10GB of GDDR6 and up to 2300MHz Game Clock.

Razer's latest Blade 15 gaming laptop comes with the option of customizing it with a 240Hz OLED display, with a native 2560 x 1440 (1440p) resolution... with the laptop starting at $3500 with the OLED panel.

The new Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop starts at $3500 with the 1440p 240Hz OLED panel, and with that you'll get the Intel Core i9-12900H processor, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That's not too bad at all -- considering you've got a 240Hz OLED display -- portable, too.

But not all OLED panels are made the same, with Razer only putting out 400 nits of brightness, so you won't be blinking too much when you're gaming. You'll, unfortunately, be waiting for a while, as Razer will be shipping its new Blade 15 with the 240Hz OLED panel later this year in Q4 2022.

Dell has just announced its new Precision 2022 family of laptops, led by the new flagship Precision 7770 laptop which has some seriously crazy high-end specs.

The new Dell Precision 7770 laptop has a large 17.3-inch display which can be configured in two ways: first, a lackluster 1080p 60Hz display or the only decision you should choose on this laptop... the 4K 120Hz option. Dell is tapping a WLED panel with HDR400 and 500 nits of brightness, not great, not OLED.

Inside, we Intel's new 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake" mobile CPUs that start with the Core i5 and run through to the Core i9 "Alder Lake-HX" processor. Furthermore, you've can configure the Dell Precision 7700 laptop with up to NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, but also 128GB of DDR5 RAM in CAMM or 64GB in SO-DIMM. Holy RAM, Batman.

ORIGIN PC has just unleashed its new flagship gaming laptops, with the introduction of the EON17-S and NT-17 laptops. Check it out:

The new ORIGIN PC EVO17-S gaming laptop packs an Intel Core i9-12900H processor (14 cores) with up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, an 8TB SSD, and NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 memory. It all arrives with a 17.3-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution screen with a super-smooth 240Hz refresh rate.

The inclusion of the 1440p 240Hz display is great to see, as it will really use that Core i9-12900H processor + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU to its fullest. Unlike new flagship competitors like the AORUS 17X which has a better (16-core) CPU and same GPU, yet a 1080p panel (albeit @ 360Hz).

GIGABYTE is the first to announce a gaming laptop that's powered by Intel's new 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake-HX" processor, rocking 16 threads at up to 5GHz.

The new AORUS 17X enthusiast gaming laptop can be configured with the Intel Core i9-12900HK processor, up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and NVIDIA's new flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with 16GB of GDDR6 and a TDP of 130W.

You've got a 17.3-inch 1080p panel at a huge 360Hz, which is probably simultaneously the shittest part of this laptop and also awesome: 360Hz, yay. But 1080p on an "enthusiast" laptop in 2022 with some of the very fastest mobile silicon ever made? Not so good. Inside, GIGABYTE is using an HM670 motherboard.

Lambda has teamed with Razer on its beasty new Lambda Tensorbook, which is reportedly the world's most powerful laptop ever made... for deep learning.

Inside, you've got some hefty mobile hardware with Linux and Lambda's deep learning software. There's also the Lambda GPU Cloud installed which gives engineers the required software tools and compute performance they need to develop, train, and sample deep learning models in-house.

As for Lambda, the company has been at the forefront of deep learning infrastructure, building deep learning systems for the world's largest R&D teams. The research and development teams across the world tap Lambda's GPU clusters, servers, workstations, and cloud instances to train their neural networks for things like cancer detection, autonomous aircraft, drug discovery, self-driving cars, and so much more.

Intel has now unleashed its new Arc Alchemist GPUs where we'll see it hitting laptops over the next few months in lower-end form, while the higher-end SKUs of the Arc GPUs will hit laptops later in the year... and now XMG is teasing its new X-Project desktop replacement laptop.

Schenker is using its gaming brand in XMG to announce its new X-Series desktop replacement gaming laptop, as well as more designs with a tease for what's coming in 2022. The company is teasing two projects with Intel Arc Graphics, with the first being a sleek 15-inch laptop based on the new Intel reference design, while the other packs a "larger, entirely new chassis in the high-performance segment".

XMG explains: "As you can see in the XMG timeline, we are working on two projects with Intel Arc Graphics. One of them will be sleek 15" model based on a new Intel reference design (a collaboration with Intel, similar to 2019's XMG FUSION 15), the other one is planned to be a larger, entirely new chassis in the high-performance segment. Further details will be revealed in the upcoming months".

Samsung has just unleashed the pre-order floodgates for its new Galaxy Book2 family of laptops, including the Galaxy Book2 360, Galaxy Book2 Pro, and Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 laptops. But get this... you get a free gaming monitor with any of those pre-orders.

Yep, that's right: Samsung is giving away a 32-inch Odyssey Gaming Curved monitor worth $330 if you pre-order the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 or Galaxy Book2 Pro laptops. The regular Galaxy Book2 360 doesn't come with a free 32-inch gaming monitor, but a 24-inch CRG5 Gaming Monitor that's worth $260.

Oh, and you also get 30% off of Samsung Care+ with any pre-order of the new Galaxy Book2 laptops, as well as that free gaming monitor. Not too bad, hey. If you've got an eligible trade-in, then the starting prices of Samsung's new Galaxy Book2 laptops start at just $549. Without all of that, the Galaxy Book2 Pro laptop will cost around $1350 -- without the free monitor (B&H listing).
