They’re lighter. They’re faster. And, in the words of one reviewer, they offer “a smorgasbord of awesome.” The new RTX laptops are here — more than 40 of them — and so are rave reviews.
We announced recently at CES that the world’s top manufacturers are bringing a record number of new laptops based on our revolutionary Turing GPU architecture to market.
They’re powered by NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs that fuse next-generation shaders with real-time ray tracing and AI to blur the line between movies and gaming with cinematic-quality rendering. Don’t take our word for it.
Here are some highlights from this week’s reviews in the North American press, mirroring reviews from outlets worldwide as RTX laptops become available everywhere.
