ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 gaming laptop pack NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU, but with a default TGP of 115W. Well, some users are flashing their laptops with custom vBIOSes and driving the TGP up to 150W.

A few users on the Baidu forums have said that they've flashed their ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 gaming laptop from the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU with its 115W TGP up to the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU at 150W. Increasing the power limit should let the GPU drive more power through it, thus driving the GPU clock up -- and improving performance, which is what this is all about.

If you go to the GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU benchmark scores for 3DMark Time Spy you'll see that the top results are from this laptop -- powered by AMD's new Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and the aforementioned NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU with its custom vBIOS.

Expanscape is showing off its new prototype laptop that packs not just a single screen, but rather it has 7 displays that offers some true next-gen workstation on-the-go multi-tasking.

The Expanscape Aurora 7 prototype packs 4 x 17.3-inch monitors each at 4K -- 2 are in portrait mode, 2 are in landscape mode -- but then it is flanked with 3 x 7-inch screens with 1920 x 1200 native resolutions. All of the 7 displays are at 60Hz, with the entire system weighing in at around 12 kg (26 lbs).

Gamers won't be interested in something like this, but Expanscape is aiming more at security operations centers, data scientists, content creators -- and I'm sure stock and cryptocurrency traders. It's a monstrous laptop with some seriously powerful innards, too.

Razer has an insane 60-inch rollout display, "riveting tactile feedback" that is built directly into the chair, 4D armrests, and so much more.

The 60-inch rollout full surround OLED display will fold back into the chair when it's not being used, but when it is rolled out it will fill your entire face with gaming action. The tactile feedback inside of the Razer Project Brooklyn gaming chair I'm sure is incredible in-person, too.

We have the same RTX 3080 mobile GPU, and up to the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10870H processor.

ASUS has just unveiled its new 13-inch ultra-portable gaming laptop, that the company has used a custom-built external docking station with an interesting PCIe 3.0 x8 interface designed specifically for the new ASUS ROG Flow X13 ultra-portable laptop.

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.

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.

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.
