When choosing a new laptop, I always tend to look for the best value. To me, value can be a measure of a number of things, such as power, portability, price and reliability. I normally stop looking once the price goes over $2000, but...
You might remember about a year ago, I reviewed the Dell Alienware 17 R3. Overall I really liked it – so much that I decided to use it as my daily driver for several months. Really, the only gripe I had about it is...
Portable gaming has been a demand for quite some time now. I fact, since Nintendo’s release of the Game Boy, pretty much every console manufacturer has made a “portable” version of their machine in order to play games on the fly. For PC’s, the...
Over a year ago, you might remember that I reviewed the Core m7 version of the HP Spectre x2. Overall, I was pretty pleased with what HP had to offer, but at the time it was slightly inferior to my old Surface Pro 3...
Probably one of the hottest topics lately has been the Nintendo Switch. In case you’ve been living in a cave for the past few months, this is Nintendo’s latest portable console that just hit the shelves. What makes it unique is the ability to,...
You might have heard me mention before that I am a proud owner of a Surface Pro 3. For years Microsoft has been the only one with a tablet that can actually replace your laptop. Many have tried to make something close with Atom...
One of my favorite laptops of 2015 was the HP Spectre x360, which I reviewed in this article. It’s a powerful, portable laptop that can also function as a tablet and it even had a couple other uses that I did not foresee. Back...
Another thin and light MSI laptop that’s available these days is the Stealth Pro GS63VR. It’s actually a refresh of the Ghost Pro GS60, however MSI has decided to adopt the Stealth name instead for some reason. Either way, this is the 15” version...
UPDATE 11/18/16: Razer Blade Pro is available for order. The link is below. UPDATE 10/20/16: The new Razer Blade Pro has been announced! See below. UPDATE 10/3/16: For those who missed preordering them before, the Razer Blade 2016 models are now available to order again...
If you’ve read my detailed review of the MSI Stealth Pro GS73VR (you can find it here, in case you didn’t), you should know that I decided to keep the 4k model, and order to make it more accustomed to my needs, I went...
Now that Pascal GPUs have finally hit the market and Nvidia has announced that the mobile-specific models are no more, we’re finally starting to see some Pascal laptops hit the market. As usual, MSI, Asus and Gigabyte are quick to the punch. There are...
UPDATE LOG: 12/25/16: Update XPS 15 section with new info on TB3 speeds and x2 PCI-e lanes. 8/25: Add MSI GS73VR to the non-Razer Laptop section (it works great so far) – check out our detailed review here. 7/4: GTX 1080 benchmarks added, rewrote...
With the recent release of the Razer Blade Stealth (reviewed here) and the Core, some were left wondering if there would be a refresh of the Razer Blade and Razer Blade Pro. Well, we haven’t seen anything with the Pro yet, but after a...
Since I’ve had my eyes on the Razer Blade, I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the Razer forums and I’ve noticed that there is quite a crowd that loves this product. But for some people, the Razer Blade doesn’t fill in all...
About a year ago, I got the opportunity to try out Dell’s Broadwell XPS 13. In fact, Andrei also got it and still uses it today. I really liked it, but the unit I received had a few bugs in it, including a sluggish...
Razer has always been one of those companies where I just want all their stuff. Their hardware is usually top notch in terms of quality and the performance is stellar too, whether we’re talking about laptops, mice or keyboards. Specifically, with laptops, they have...
I’ve been a proud owner of the MSI GS60 for about 18 months now and I’ve shared with you the impressions on the model that I still use, but also on one of the updated models with the 4K display. Because of its powerful...
Last year, I got the pleasure of reviewing the MSI GS60 with both the 870M and 970M graphics cards. I was so impressed with the 970M version that I decided to keep it. I still own it and use it as my daily driver,...
I’ve grown quite accustomed to using my GS60 as my daily driver over the past year, but I’ve always been interested in the Gigabyte P35X, as it is probably the closest competitor to the GS60. After my issues with Gigabyte’s Aorus brand, I was...
I’ve always preferred more portable laptops and not so much the bigger beefier ones out there. Alienware has had a warm place in my heart though, especially since I was a longtime owner of the m11x. Of course the m11x was still considered very...
I don’t buy budget laptops very often. I mainly try to stick with mid-range to high end models since I haven’t had very good experiences with cheap laptops in the past. There’s always been something that sways me away from them, be it the...
Back to school sales have begun and there’s now a deeper batch of affordable Broadwell ultrabooks to choose from. I was excited to see the Toshiba Satellite S55t go on sale last week so I decided to pick one up. I figured this model...
For the brief time I used the GS60(FHD) earlier this year, I was very impressed. It fell a little short of what I was looking for though, and comparing it directly to a Razer Blade, I decided it wasn’t what I was looking for....
On my never ending quest to find the “perfect” high-end ultrabook, I was able to get my hands on the new Aorus X3 Plus. I’ve never used an Aorus product before and I’ve read a few not-so-stellar reviews on Gigabyte laptops as well, so...
