Gaming laptops keep getting better

Gaming laptops are already in a great place. They were getting smaller, lighter, and faster for years, and they reached a point where they made sense for most people by 2018. And the rate of progression hasn’t slowed. And we’re on the cusp of yet another leap forward thanks to the competition between Nvidia, AMD, and Intel.

On the GPU side of the equation, Nvidia announced today that it is putting its RTX Super video cards into over 100 different laptop models. These include the excellent Razer Blade 15 as well as the Acer Triton 500. The Blade comes in configurations with either an RTX 2070 Super Max-Q or the 2080 Super Max-Q. And while the “Super” in the name does indeed mean more power, don’t sleep on the Max-Q.
