MSI is preparing a monster new gaming laptop, according to the folks at Notebookcheck, with the next-gen TITAN GT77 gaming laptop rocking a delicious Mini-LED display and monster next-gen Ada Lovelace GPU.

The next-gen MSI TITAN GT77 gaming laptop will reportedly feature a huge 17.3-inch Mini-LED display with a native 3840 x 2160 resolution (4K) and a gloriously smooth 144Hz refresh rate. We're looking at MSI's new TITAN GT77 gaming laptop having DisplayHDR 1000 certification with up to 1000 nits of peak brightness, 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and factory color calibration out of the box.

HP is preparing some monster new gaming laptops in 2023, with their new HP Omen 17 gaming laptop teased with a monster NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB Laptop GPU.

We haven't had any confirmation of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 40 series Laptop GPUs just yet, but it seems we can expect the GeForce RTX 4060 8GB Laptop GPU, GeForce RTX 4070 8GB Laptop GPU, GeForce RTX 4080 12GB Laptop GPU, and finally the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 16GB Laptop GPU.

HP is preparing multiple Omen 17 gaming laptops built around NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 40 Laptop GPUs, as well as Intel's soon-to-be-released 13th Gen Core-HX series CPUs. The flagship HP Omen 17 gaming laptop will reportedly feature the Intel Core i7-13700HX processor, which will feature 16 cores (8 Performance cores joined by 8 Efficient cores) and a CPU boost clock of up to 5.0GHz.

Razer currently has its Blade 14, Blade 15, and Blade 17 gaming laptops with 14-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch displays, respectively... but it looks like there's something bigger coming on the horizon.

In a new leak on Geekbench, the purported Razer Blade 18 gaming laptop has been tested and it is shaping up to be quite the powerhouse. We should expect a larger 18-inch display (making it the largest display on any Razer laptop yet) as well as it being the first laptop from Razer that will feature an Intel HX-series CPU: a desktop-class CPU that's designed for the laptop BGA package.

Intel's upcoming Core i9-13900HX "Raptor Lake" CPU will feature 24 cores and 32 threads of CPU power, matching the desktop Core i9-13900K processor, with the Core i9-13900HX laptop CPU to boost up to 5.4GHz inside of Razer's upcoming Blade 18 gaming laptop.

Apple's next-gen MacBook Pro laptops were expected to shine brightly, with the laptops packing Apple's in-house M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs that were meant to be made on TSMC's new 3nm process node... well, that might not be happening.

The new Apple M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs were being built by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) to be used in the upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops, but according to insider Ming-Chi Kuo, the new CPUs for these MacBook Pro laptops will enter mass production in Q4 2022.

Kuo tweeted that given TSMC's guidance that the "3nm will contribute revenue starting in 1H23, processors of 14" and 16" MacBook Pro models may still adopt the 5nm advanced node". Translation: TSMC's new 3nm process node isn't shaping up so well, so they have to make Apple's new M2 Pro and M2 Max SoCs on the 5nm advanced node instead.

XMG has just teased it will be launching its next-gen XMG NEO 17 (M22) gaming laptop is "coming in August" and it will be the most powerful XMG gaming laptop ever.

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).
