The Alienware M18 2024 just arrived in the studio! 
Let's see if the CPU Upgrade is enough for this one to stand a chance
against the MSI Titan 18HX and the ROG Strix Scar 18.
I still like their design and build quality, and it will be fast, no doubt, 
but especially the display situation does not look too good against the competition. 
What do you think? 

New setup alert! 
Just got the Agon Pro Porsche Design PD49 yesterday, an absolute monstrosity of a 49" monitor, with a gorgeous 240Hz QD-Oled. 
I am powering it with the  @xmg_gg  Neo 17 for now, with my usual set of peripherals, my Ducky Mecha SF Emerald and the trusty Logitech G 502 X.
How would you rate this setup? ;)
Stay tuned for the full review! 

Our Razer Blade 16 2024 is dropping tomorrow, and the smaller sibling, the Blade 14, is going head-to-head with the all-new Zephyrus G14. That video is coming a bit later, but we are hard at work behind the scenes to cover all the new notebooks from CES 2024 for you! 
Stay tuned ... 
... and consider subscribing! ;) 

The TITAN is back. 
MSI's decked-out 18" just arrived in the studio, and while it is ridiculous in almost every way, I like it a lot so far. 
Let me know if you have any questions for us to answer in the full review!

Hey folks, I am currently working on an additional review for the Asus Flow X16. 
We might have done a review about it already, but I really wanted to check out and actually use the RTX4070 and MiniLED SKU a bit more in-depth. 
So if you have any question regarding this puppy, put them in the comments, I was thinking about adding a section to our reviews in which we would answer some of your questions. 
So, please keep them coming! 

Filmed a little something about my favourite laptop from 2023 and my daily driver during CES and while in LA. 
The video should drop on Tuesday. 
An imaginary box of cookies for everyone who can guess the notebook in question! ;)
Have a great weekend, folks!

We kicked things off with Intel today, and they invited us to their Performance Workshop showcasing the benefits of the new Core Ultra Meteor Lake chips. 

The first setup compared the power draw from the Zenbook 14 OLED with the Core Ultra 155H and a last-gen Zenbook with a Ryzen 7840U while playing back a 4k video. The Meteor Lake silicon was solely utilizing the so-called low-power island in the new chip and, therefore, needed consistently less power than the Team Red contender. 
Of course, the new Arc iGPU also played a huge role, and here they compared Ghostrunner II, running side-by-side on a 16" reference design, and a last-gen model with the Raptor Lake 1370p. 
With both chips locked to 28 Watts and in 1080p/medium, the new silicon easily doubled the performance utilizing the new GPU architecture and Intel's very own AI-boosted upscaler XeSS in its performance setting with no visual downgrade.
Last but not least AI is the name of the game for this year's CES and they actually showcased some pretty awesome stuff in Gimp/Stable Diffusion and Audacity utilizing the CPU, GPU and of course, the new NPU to generate Images and easily separate audio tracks with ease. 

Hey Folks, we made it to CES 2024.
