LG's 'first gaming laptop' packs RTX 3080, 1080p 300Hz display

LG has just announced its "first gaming laptop" with the introduction of the new UltraGear 17G90Q, which packs some pretty beefy hardware that includes NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card.

Inside, LG's new UltraGear 17G90Q gaming laptop rocks Intel's 11th Gen Core "Tiger Lake-H" CPU (note: this is not the new Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake"), up to 32GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card.

For the display, LG has opted for a 1080p IPS display with a huge 300Hz refresh rate. There's a 93wH battery, RGB keyboard, a fingerprint sensor on the power button, and a 1080p webcam. LG has used a wicked purple/gray color that actually looks nice (at least from the pictures). There are 2 x USB-C ports (including 1 x USB 4.0 port), 2 x USB-A ports, 1 x 3.5mm headphone jack, a HDMI port, GbE ethernet, and a microSD card slot.
