MSI Titan GT77 HX: MSI may have skipped the jump to an 18-inch display on its flagship laptop, but we were still impressed. Between the powerful performance of its Intel Core i9-13950HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and its stunning Mini-LED display, this laptop is one of the most powerful and eye-pleasing performers we've seen to date.

Asus ROG Strix G16: The Asus ROG Strix G16 is catching up to Razer in powerful, portable gaming laptops well. The Strix G16's Core i9-13980HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 provided great performance in a 0.89-inch thick chassis. Is the design as sleek as Razer's Blades? No, but at $1,999.99 when we tested it, Asus is also competing on price.

MSI Raider GE78 HX: This laptop takes advantage of its size by using plenty of ports, including Thunderbolt 4, multiple USB Type-C and Type-A ports, an SD card slot, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet and a 3.5mm audio jack. There's also a giant touchpad (which is funny since most gamers use mice) below the Raider's most comfortable keyboard.

Acer Nitro 16: The Acer's Nitro line has often a place on this list, mixing build quality, performance, and low pricing to create a reasonable product. The Nitro 16, replacing the old Nitro 5, delivers the entry-level power of an RTX 4050 and a Ryzen 5 7640HS, but with some niceties, you can get for under $1,000.

MSI Katana 15: The $999 model features a Core i7-13620H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 and offers strong 1080p performance. It includes 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, which is nice to see, as those are often some of the first specs to get cut for a budget PC. Its 144 Hz refresh rate will be a boon for esports players. We also appreciate the quality of the speakers for the price.

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14: For on-the-go gamers, thin laptops like Asus' ROG Zephyrus G14 are particularly appealing. The Zephyrus uses an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and an AMD Radeon RX 6800S, as well as the company's proprietary features like SmartShift and SmartAccess Memory, to deliver the best performance possible from AMD's hardware.
