ASUS has just announced its new ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X W730 laptop, with some incredibly beefy specs up on offer with an OLED display, Intel Xeon CPU, and NVIDIA Quadro GPU.

The new ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro X W730 arrives with a large 17.3-inch OLED display with a native 1920 x 1200 resolution, in what ASUS calls a NanoEdge display -- for those slim bezels. The display itself covers 97% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, is Pantone Validated, and factory-calibrated to a Delta E<1.5 accuracy -- something not often seen on laptops.

ASUS uses an Intel Xeon E-2276M processor, an 8C/16T chip clocked between 2.8GHz and 4.7GHz with 12MB of cache, while the GPU goes to a glorious NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 with 16GB of GDDR6. There's also a huge 64GB of DDR4-2666 RAM inside, and 4TB of storage to boot (this is done between 2 x PCIe 3.0-based x4 SSDs and 1 x HDD).

Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro is here, and if you max out its internal specs then you'll be coughing up an eye-watering amount of money with the fully-loaded 16-inch MacBook Pro costing $6099.

What will you get for $6099 exactly? Well it's not exactly slow, with a huge 64GB of RAM and 8TB of all-flash storage on offer -- this is on top of an Intel Core i9 processor at up to 5GHz, and an AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The 64GB of RAM comes in at DDR4-2666MHz.

The upgrade from 1TB of SSD to 8TB of SSD is a big one, coming in at a huge $2200 upgrade while the Radeon Pro 5500M comes in 4GB and 8GB varieties, with the additional 4GB of GDDR6 costing $100. Apple's new 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2399 with a 6-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, Radeon Pro 5300M, and 512GB SSD.

Razer has always been at the forefront of technology when it comes to its gaming laptops, but the latest Blade 15 Advanced really takes things to the next level with an optical mechanical keyboard.

The new Razer Blade 15 Advanced and its optical mechanical keyboard uses light sensors in place of physical switches, with the light sensor-based keyboard technology finding a better home in a gaming laptop that needs a thin, but precise keyboard.

Razer says that because the new Blade 15 Advanced's optical mechanical keyboard has no "bounce back issues" compared to other keyboards, with N-Key rollover also here to get away from ghosting issues when you're slamming your fingers into the keyboard typing or during those hectic gaming sessions.

Google will be launching its new Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL smartphones at its upcoming event in October, where we will also reportedly be introduced to the new Pixelbook Go.

Pixelbook Go is Google's rumored new laptop that will have fans of the Chomebook happy, as it seems like the Pixelbook Go is aiming at Microsoft's popular Surface Go, and that is a good thing.

Right now it is just a single image as a tease, with the Pixelbook Go reportedly featuring a 13.3-inch 4K display with a 360-degree hinge. Google is reportedly keeping the "Molecular Disney" branding that was on the Pixel Slate.

Dell has refreshed its XPS 13 laptop with Intel's latest 10th-gen CPU offerings, as well as the latest in Wi-Fi 6 connectivity that is 3x faster than the previous generation.

Starting with the use of Intel's new 10th-gen Comet Lake-U processors, with the Core i3-10110U and Core i5-10210U processors starting at $999, while the higher-end Core i7-10710U will be available in October.

We have the usual up to 16GB of RAM and up to 256GB SSD storage, while inside the new XPS 13 laptops all feature Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, thanks to the Killer AX1650 (2x2) which is based on Intel's own Wi-Fi 6 Chipset.

Lenovo had a big show this year at IFA 2019 unveiling not one or two new Yoga laptops, but four new models that spread into 3 new models in their C-series and a new model in its S-series family.

The new Yoga models are familiar, roling out with the same flexibility as previous-gen Yoga products but have new features and internals to keep us impressed. We're looking at USB-C, Dolby Vision, and even Intel's new 10th-gen CPUs.

Starting with the new flagship Lenovo Yoga C940, we have a 4K VESA DisplayHDR 400 screen with super-slim bezels, Dolby Vision, and 500 nits of brightness. Lenovo will be offering the Yoga C940 in two sizes: 14- and 15.6-inch, with the displays starting off at a 1080p resolution but making their way up to 4K.

Acer unveiled its new Predator Triton 500 gaming laptop at IFA 2019, a new laptop rocking a 300Hz display -- just like the new ASUS Zephyrus S GX701.

It'll be powered by NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 or RTX 2080 with Max-Q, up to 2 x 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSDs in RAID 0 for the speed freaks out there. I would definitely be going with the RTX 2080 Max-Q if it were up to me, because you're going to need as much graphics grunt as you can to hit 300FPS.

Acer has just unveiled its revamped range of ConceptD premium notebooks, receiving the stamp of being an NVIDIA RTX Studio laptop.
