Razer has just unveiled its most powerful Blade Pro 17 gaming notebook ever, with the new Razer Blade Pro 17 gaming laptops powered by NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 30 series laptop GPUs.

Razer isn't just going to lay around doing no upgrades to its flagship gaming laptops with the very latest GPU technology at its fingertips, so the company has some massive display options and upgrades for the Razer Blade 15 and Razer Blade Pro 17 gaming laptops.

For the first time ever, Razer is deploying the Blade 15 Advanced Model with 3 different 15.6-inch display options: 1080p @ 360Hz, 1440p @ 240Hz with NVIDIA G-SYNC or 4K @ 60Hz but an OLED display. This is a pretty nice array of display offerings here with the 15.6-inch model, while the 17.3-inch model is offered in 3 variants: 1080p @ 360Hz, 1440p @ 165Hz or 4K @ 120Hz.

HP has just detailed its new Elite Folio laptop, powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 processor and focused towards business users with is unique leather styling.

Inside, HP is using the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 processor with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. There's also other Qualcomm tech inside, given that it uses the Snapdragon X20 LTE modem and X55 5G modem, so you're getting 5G connectivity with your new HP Elite Folio laptop.

But get this -- HP is offering up to 24.5 hours of battery life with its Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 powered Elite Folio laptop, which is an incredible feat. HP is using a 13.3-inch 1080p display, with Wacom touch/pen input so you can get some notes written easily.

Lenovo has just announced its new Yoga Slim 7i Pro laptop, which features a 14-inch OLED display with a smoother 90Hz refresh rate.

Inside, Lenovo will be using Intel's latest 11th Gen Core CPUs, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of PCIe SSD goodness, and GeForce GTX 450M graphics. Where an LCD is normally used Lenovo has opted for the much higher quality OLED panel, which offers some of the best quality you can get on a laptop.

We have a 61 Whr battery, meaning that video editors and content creators who want a fast, light, and that picture perfect OLED display find a new home with Lenovo's Yoga Slim 7i Pro laptop. We will have 2 x USB Type-C ports, 1 x USB Type-A port, and a 3.5mm jack.

HP has just unveiled its new Envy 14 laptop, switching things up by offering a 16:10 aspect ratio multi-touch enabled IPS display with 11% more viewing area versus a 16:9 panel.

The new 11th Gen Intel Core CPUs are powering the HP Envy 14 laptop, backed up by 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, a 256GB SSD, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics. We also have Wi-Fi 6 technology here, privacy-focused features including a fingerprint sensor, phsyical shutter for the built-in 720p webcam, and a dedicated button to mute the microphone on the keyboard.

Not bad, HP -- not bad.

MSI will be showing off its new GE76 Raider gaming laptop in more detail at its MSIology: The Ultimate Shockwave event on January 13, but for now we have a tease of the interesting new gaming laptop.

The new MSI GE76 Raider gaming notebook has an interesting, and very unique "dragon skin" design that does truly look amazing. It's a 17.3-inch premium gaming laptop that will be powered by up to Intel's new Corer i9-10980HK processor and up to NVIDIA's soon-to-be-announced GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU.

MSI will reportedly also be offering a 15.6-inch version of the "dragon skin" themed laptop, which will be known as the GE66. NVIDIA's new high-end GeForce RTX 3080 will be powering the premium gaming laptop, so we should expect (hopefully) a higher-end 1440p 165Hz display.

MSI is the first out of the gate to officially list NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 30 series GPU for its new laptops, with the introduction of its new GF65 Thin series gaming notebook.

The new MSI GF65 Thin gaming laptop is powered by an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, and NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q graphics card with 6GB of GDDR6 -- a product NVIDIA hasn't announced just yet. MSI will be offering the new GF65 Thin gaming laptop with a 15.6-inch 1080p 144Hz display, and 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM.

We should expect MSI to be aiming this at gamers who want to spend under $1500 on a new gaming laptop, powered by the new GeForce RTX 3060 Max-Q graphics card and 1080p 144Hz display it should be perfect. MSI will be detailing the new GF65 Thin gaming laptop on January 13.

LG has just unveiled its next-gen 2021 Gram family of laptops, with the new Gram 17, Gram 16, Gram 14, Gram 2-in-1 16 and Gram 2-in-1 14 -- all of which include a 16:10 aspect ratio display.

The new flagship LG Gram 17 has its 17-inch panel packing a delicious 2560 x 1600 resolution panel (the same resolution as the Gram 16) at 60Hz. Inside, you'll find an Intel 11th Gen Core CPU and Intel Iris Xe GPU. There's an offer of either 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR4x memory, dual NVMe M.2 SSD slots, and plenty of connectivity.

But LG is making things portable here with the Gram family of laptops, including the Gram 17 that has a huge 17-inch laptop but weighs just 2.98lbs (1.35kg). Pretty incredible considering you have a large 17-inch laptop in your hands, that is also super-thin, too.

You've probably never heard of Mechrevo, but they're working on a kick ass new high-end gaming laptop that rocks a next-gen AMD Ryzen 9 5900H processor and unreleased NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile GPU.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900H processor inside is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU with a base CPU clock of 3.3GHz and boost CPU clock of up to 4.65GHz. There's also a higher-end Ryzen 9 5900HX processor (high-power), Ryzen 9 5900HS (low-power) and another version in the Ryzen 9 5980HX.

Inside, Mechrevo will be pumping in at least 32GB of DDR4-3200MHz, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a 17.3-inch 2560 x 1440 display -- but we don't know the refresh rate of the panel just yet, but I'd be surprised to hear it's not a 144Hz refresh rate.

XPG has just announced its upcoming 'Future of Gaming' event planned for the all-digital CES 2021 next week, where the company will be going off its new Xe GPU-based gaming lifestyle ultrabook. Not only that, but the company will be showing off next-gen DDR5 modules, gaming chewing gum, and more.

The new XPG XENIA Xe gaming lifestyle ultrabook packs a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS-based touch display, the option between an Intel 11th Gen Core i5-1135G7 or i7-1165G7 processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, XPG's in-house 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, and so much more.

XPG collaborated with Intel on the XPG XENIA Xe gaming lifestyle ultrabook, the second collaboration between the companies. XPG has made the XPG XENIA Xe gaming lifestyle ultrabook as an all-round ultrabook that is not just portable, but it is powerful enough for what you need to do today -- be it some light gaming, some content creation, or some quick work. XPG tease that it has a "sleek and contemporary design that features a premium and elegant CNC anodized aluminum chassis".

Acer has just revealed two new Nitro 5 budget gaming laptops ahead of CES 2021, packing Intel's unannounced Tiger Lake H-35 processor. These new chips have higher TDP ranges, providing a bigger kick in performance over the previous-gen Tiger Lake-U chips from September 2020.

Acer's new budget-focused Nitro laptops will be fully detailed during CES 2021 nextg week, but we know they'll pack the new Tiger Lake-H35 chips with a GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. The Nitro 5 (AN515-56-57YH) is the cheaper model, packing an Intel Core i5-11300H with 8GB of DDR4 and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD.

The Acer Nitro 5 will use a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS ComfyView display, Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX 201 (2x2), Bluetooth 5, a 57 Wh battery, HD webcam, and even dual microphones.

ASUS is about ready to unveil its next-gen 2021 ROG and 2021 TUF Gaming laptops, teasing a new special event for January 12. They've also teased on the official Twitter account for TUF Gaming, too:

The new 2021 TUF Gaming design has been overhauled for this year, with a new rectangular design that the video teased has been upgraded in a big way as the previous-gen designs didn't have great cooling. We don't know how much ASUS has tweaked the design, but now we know we'll be detailed in full on January 12.

We should expect ASUS to be using either AMD's new Ryzen 5000H "Cezanne-H" or Intel's new Tiger Lake-H 11th Gen CPUs inside of the new 2021 laptops.

ASUS is preparing its next-gen ROG Zephyrus GA15 GA503QS gaming laptop which packs the Zen 3-based AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS processor (which should be an 8-core, 16-thread model).

Inside, the Ryzen 7 5800HS processor will be joined by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card with something very interesting: 16GB of VRAM. If it does indeed pack 16GB of GDDR6, the ROG Zephyrus GA15 GA503QS will be one of the first laptops to pack a GPU with 16GB of VRAM.

We should expect the full-fat GA102 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores, which means it has more CUDA cores than the desktop GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card. The GeForce RTX 3080 inside of the ROG Zephyrus GA15 GA503QS is on a 256-bit memory bus with its memory expected to be at least 14Gbps, meaning we should have 448GB/sec of memory bandwidth.

ASUS is preparing for a big year in ROG STRIX gaming laptops it seems, with AMD's new Ryzen 9 5900HX processor to be offered -- as well as NVIDIA's new stack of Ampere GPUs.

The new ASUS ROG STRIX gaming laptops will be configured with high-end GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3070, or a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti -- and for the first time it'll be joined with a high-end AMD CPU. Intel won't be launching it's new Tiger Lake-H 8-core CPUs for another few months at least, so AMD's high-end Ryzen 9 5900HX will just have to do (and it's not like that's a bad thing at all).

ASUS will be offering up a 2560 x 1440 (2K) display with a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate -- a perfect compromise between a resolution too lacking (1080p) and a resolution that requires too much grunt for a laptop (4K).

Razer has unveiled its 2020 refresh of the Razer Blade Stealth 13 laptop, packing a 13.3-inch super-fast 120Hz-capable 1080p display and Intel's new Tiger Lake CPU.

The new Razer Blade Stealth 13 is powered by Intel's latest 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake processors, with the Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor based on the new 10nm Super Fin architecture. We have 4-core/8-thread at up to 4.7GHz -- a large 800MHz increase over the previous-gen Razer Blade Stealth 13.

Razer is offering two different display options with a 1080p 120Hz display, while if you want a higher-end OLED you're getting dropped down to 60Hz. If you want a 4K panel you're stuck with the older Ice Lake CPU, while the stock Razer Blade Stealth 13 rocks the 1080p 60Hz OLED panel.

Alienware has just unveiled its very latest gaming laptop with the new Area-51m packing some serious heat underneath its keyboard.

Inside, you can configure it with an Intel Core i9-10900K processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics -- but a super-fast 360Hz refresh rate. It's impressive considering the Alienware Area-51m packs a large 17-inch display with a native 1080p resolution.

Alienware's new Area-51m gaming laptop can be configured with up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, up to 2 x 2TB NVMe M.2 PCIe SSDs, Wi-Fi 6 and GbE connectivity. You can option out the 1080p display for a higher-end 4K 60Hz panel if you want, too.

Acer just announced the Spin 7 convertible laptop, and the specifications are quite impressive. It features a 14-inch IPS touchscreen on a 360-degree hinge, Qualcomm's brand new Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G for excellent performance and battery life on the go, and best of all; it includes antimicrobial coatings to keep the germs away.

If it weren't for the global pandemic situation, the most notable feature about Acer's Spin 7 convertible laptop would undoubtedly be the Qualcomm chipset that it's built around. The Spin 7 is the very first laptop to employ the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G compute platform. The 8cx G2 supports the latest wireless communication standards, such as 5G and Wi-Fi 6. It's also incredibly power efficient, boasting "multi-day" battery life.

"We envision notebooks of the future to provide exceptional productivity and portability with human-centric design, ultra-long battery life, blazing-fast 5G connectivity and beyond," said Jerry Kao, Co-COO, Acer Inc. "The new Acer Spin 7 is an Always On, Always Connected notebook capable of keeping up with the modern work-from-anywhere lifestyle with its sleek form factor supporting up to multi-day use on a single charge."

GIGABYTE has just unveiled its latest ultra-thin professional gaming laptop, the new AORUS 15P. Check it out:

The new AORUS 15P rocks Intel's latest 10th-gen Intel Core i7-10750H processor, which offers up 6 cores and 12 threads of CPU performance up to 5GHz. We have the AORUS 15P starting with 8GB of DDR4-2666 RAM, but you can configure it with up to 64GB of RAM.

We have a couple of options when it comes to discrete graphics, with the AORUS 15P WB rocking a higher-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 MaxQ with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, while the AORUS 15P KB has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 with 6GB of GDDR6.

ASUS dropped a pair of ZenBook ultraportable laptops, and one of them features a brand-new display aspect ratio. The Zenbook S includes a taller-than-standard 3:2 display for improved document viewing. ASUS also released the ZenBook Flip 13 convertible laptop.

ASUS's new ZenBook models are powerful little machines. Both systems feature 10th generation Intel Core processors; the ZenBook Flip 13 is available with an i5-1035G1 or an i7-1065G7. The ZenBook S comes equipped with an i7 onboard.

The ZenBook S is positioned as a somewhat higher-end laptop compared to the Flip 13. Not only does it come standard with a more potent processor, but it also includes 16GB LPDDR4x memory and a 1TB PCIe NVME 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD. The ZenBook Flip 13 consists of a smaller capacity 512GB NVMe drive, and you can get it with 8GB or 16GB of memory. Curiously, the memory in the Flip 13 runs a 3733MHz, whereas the ZenBook S includes slower 3200MHz memory.

Eurocom has just unveiled what seems to be the most crazy-specced laptop I've seen so far, packing Intel's latest-and-greatest Core i9-10900K processor and NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Non Max-Q) graphics card. Introducing the Eurocom Sky Z7 Mobile Supercomputer.

You can option all the way up to the flagship Core i9-10900K + RTX 2080 SUPER, with up to 128GB of fast DDR4 memory, and an insane 13TB of SSD storage. This can come from 3 x M.2 NVMe drives (4TB each) and then 1TB of M.2 SATA (13TB total).

Better yet, if you need the super-fast CPU and 128GB of RAM, and needed that huge 13TB of super-fast NVMe storage -- they're easily accessible ports for users to quickly upgrade (or even plug-and-play) super-fast NVMe SSDs into Eurocom Sky Z7 Mobile Supercomputer.

Lenovo has just flexed its muscle in the gaming laptop and gaming PC market, with the introduction of a bunch of new Legion-branded gaming systems.

We have 5 new gaming PCs from Lenovo which all pack AMD's latest Ryzen processors, with the Legion 5 gaming laptops packing AMD's new Ryzen 7 4800H-series mobile processor. Inside, NVIDIA takes care of the GPU side of things with its GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card.

Lenovo offers a 15-inch and 17-inch version of its Legion 5 laptop, with 60Hz and 144Hz refresh displays. We have up to 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, up to 1TB of PCIe SSD with prices starting at $760 for the 15-inch model and $1090 for the 17-inch Legion 5.
