1 month ago | laptopmag.com | Jowi Morales

I’ve been a Windows user for over 30 years, but Apple’s M-series MacBooks converted me with their amazing battery life. Now, I use an M2 MacBook Air, and while I appreciate its nice hardware and macOS, there are a few things that I think Microsoft still does better. And I’m apparently not alone in wanting certain Windows features on macOS — many third-party developers, who presumably share my feelings, have built apps that emulate the best of Windows for your MacBook.

The highly anticipated Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs have made their way to gaming laptops, and the Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 is amongst its vessels, but does it live up to the hype? The Aorus Master 16 does not speak for all gaming laptops, but its booming voice certainly speaks for itself.

Nvidia’s slew of RTX 50-series GPUs makes a splash in the gaming laptop world, and we’ve tested the first RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 chips and I could not have predicted the results.

Intel's Arrow Lake HX gaming CPU is putting the MacBook Pro M4 Pro through its paces

1 month ago | laptopmag.com | Madeline Ricchiuto

Intel's most powerful mobile CPU has arrived: the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. Powering the Gigabyte Aorus Master 16 gaming laptop, does it live up to the hype? As with any new silicon, we compared Intel's Arrow Lake HX processor against its predecessor and current competition, especially AMD's latest chips. While Arrow Lake HX will mostly be used in gaming laptops, a few workstation models may opt for the HX variant instead of Arrow Lake H, so we decided to throw Apple M4 into the mix.

The 2025 Razer Blade 16’s thin and light chassis does make it more portable than its predecessor, but that comes with a tradeoff in performance.
