The Origin EON17-X v2 is a monster of a gaming laptop in both performance and size (and price). And it comes with a large and vibrant screen, not to mention a customizable UV printed lid. It does tend to run hot and noisy under stress and blow that hot air out at you, though. Pros […]

I love the idea behind the Asus ROG NUC 970 – use well-proven laptop hardware to build a very compact gaming machine that’s equally well suited to use on a desk or connected up to a TV in the living room. The NUC 970 does achieve this goal, with a desirable mix of features and

Early Verdict While I didn’t get a whole lot of time with the Acer Nitro Blaze 7 at IFA 2024, what I saw of it was more than solid enough to make it a compelling entrant into the burgeoning PC gaming handheld market. Pros + AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS + Up to 2TB SSD storage
The Legion 5i gives better-than-average gaming results while being noticeably quieter than similar-specced competition. The configuration tested (Core i7-14650HX / 32GB RAM) extracts impressive performance from the RTX 4070 GPU and the hardware is well matched to the 16-inch, 1600p, 165Hz display. Gaming prowess aside, the 5i is also a very competent workstation and performs

The Asus ROG Ally X is one of the most powerful gaming handhelds yet, and puts the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch to shame performance-wise. However, you’re paying for this extra firepower with a hefty price tag, and Windows 11 remains frustrating to use in the handheld form factor. Pros + Powerful + Improved battery

The Gigabyte Aorus G6X 9KG might be one of the best values in gaming laptops that I’ve seen recently, as it offers great performance and internals for a very, very good price. Of course, it comes with some serious compromises such as a weak battery life, loud fans, and a display that, while blazing fast,

Early Verdict While the model I tested was only a beta unit, there’s a lot to love about Zotac’s entry into the handheld PC space, the Zone. The AMOLED display is absolutely gorgeous, and in my short time testing it I found the performance of the AMD Ryzen APU to be pretty excellent. However, the
The Corsair One i500 is a radical departure from the traditional gamer aesthetic, offering a prebuilt rig with fantastic performance and a distinctive style previously only available for custom-built gaming PCs. It’s not cheap, but for its specs, it’s surprisingly affordable, and it comes with liquid cooling for both CPU and GPU, making it a
The Huntsman Pro is an impressive and high-quality gaming keyboard with a vast array of customizable features – but its extreme level of key customization, and the ability to reduce the actuation point down to a super-sensitive 0.1mm, means it’s more suited to wannabe pros, and its high price reflects that. Pros + Incredible level

While the Helios 18 is one of the best gaming laptops we’ve tested, our admiration is somewhat tempered by its hefty price tag. Pros + Ultimate portable gaming power + Mighty Nvidia GeForce GTX 4090 GPU + Dual SSDs in RAID 0 Cons – Premium price – Side and rear port locations could be improved

It might be big and beautiful, but Sony still fails to deliver on what should be a sure-fire win. The Inzone H9 gaming headset lacks the audio punch you’d expect at this price, and the mic is worse than its cheaper sibling, the H5. Pros + Strong ergonomic fit + Clean aesthetic design + Solid
