The global game global could have been a bit broader. Well, much broader contemplating that CES 2025 brought us 31 new machines this year. From RTX 5090 powers to medium range machines focused on efficiency, brands such as MSI, Razer, Razer, Asus and Lenovo have been appearing in their next -generation machines in Las Vegas throughout the week. I have been through the specifications tables to bring you a game computer and both people announced in CES here.
Between the new Intel Ultra 2 series processors and the AMD laser in the wonderful Force AI, and of course with GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 TI and 5070 5070 GPUs, there are a lot of eyes this year. Brands connected those parts to 14-inch, 15-inch, 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch platforms for a variety of portability and functionality options.
With some of my non-public favorites returning to the show this year, those 2025s were strong for gaming laptops. We’ve got a new Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 to check out, the Msi Titan 18 is back in business, and the Blade Razer 16,2025 deserves one of the biggest gamers this year. All is well with this year’s display: here’s everything you could possibly have missed.
A refresh of its budget-minded Nitro line and three new Predator machines, Acer had a whopping eight new gaming laptops to talk about at CES 2025. The Nitro V line is getting five new Nitro V refreshes, spanning everything from the 14-inch to 17-inch model, and mostly concentrating on adding new AI-focused components under the hood. These are machines designed for the entry level market, though they often some slightly above Asus’s TUF range in price. Still, last year’s Acer Nitro 16 beat the Asus TUF A15 for its display quality so if you have a little more cash to invest in a QHD+ panel they’re well worth a look.
These cheaper models are sticking with the RTX 40-Series for now. If you’re after the latest and greatest GPUs, you’ll need to turn to the Predator range. The Acer Predator Helios 16 AI, Acer Predator Helios 18 AI, and Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI were all on the CES show floor this year, bringing Nvidia RTX 50-Series GPUs, OLED and Mini LED displays, and Intel Core Ultra 9 processors to the party.
The beast is back. The Alienware Area-51 gaming computer returned to CES this year, bringing the M-series and X-series of Xs to life forever. This will be the brand’s flagship line going forward, as the rest of the Alienware computers lately on the market start to release at sunset.
Available in two sizes (16 inches and 18 inches), zone 51 includes the NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU to a complete 175W TGP (total of 280W in 18 inches) for a serious force under the hood. In us this year, while other brands have also incorporated the correct AMD series in their portfolios. ‘United Nations.
Alienware seems to have abandoned the upgradeability aspect with the new generation. It was a big draw for previous Area-51 gaming laptops, but turned out disappointingly in the end due to a lack of compatible components. Instead, we simply have next-generation power in a newly redesigned chassis ready to take over the top spot on Dell’s shelves.
Seven of the best Asus gaming laptops have returned for CES, with all the usual suspects accounted for. These are mostly internal refreshes, with everything from the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 to the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 seeing the Nvidia RTX 50-Series treatment.
That G14 has stuck with AMD this year, with the fantastic Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU at the helm and its 3K OLED display making a triumphant return for 2025 as well. I’m glad to see RTX 5080 graphics on the table this year – 2024’s iteration dropped us all the way down to the 4070 after previously playing with 4090 power. Meanwhile, the G16 is taking the Intel route with an Ultra 9 285H CPU and a slightly lower-res (though physically larger) 2.5K OLED display. This one’s maxed out at an RTX 5090, which will be interesting to witness considering the brand’s slimline ethos for this range.
The 4 Strix machines are also back at stake by 2025, will be restricted to the G series if you need an AMD structure and the ROG Stix G16 processor is restricted if you need this AMD Ryzen Nine NINE5555HX3D processor. However, those are machines built with a natural force in mind, and the G16 and the G18 are restricted to a maximum of 32 GB of RAM, the scars can exceed 64 GB with a complete RTX 50Nine0 force.
There are some smaller chassis updates: the LED Matrix of the brand’s vision anime vision is reaching The Scar 16 and Scar 18 (I hate it, but some will go through that), and Intel -based versions can be opened Without problems, a single press press can be improved. Here, RAM and SSD slots can be improved.
Then we have the Asus Rog Flow Z13, a pill that hits the Big’un computer (provided it has its 50 RTX series EGPU). This is a device built with power in its nucleus, as evidenced through the intriguing processor AMD Ryzen ai Max 395. Here there are no compromised graphics, but Asus promises that the Radeon 8060s incorporated GPU is more than qualified for the task of executing The newer and larger titles in a cellular form.
The great HP star The Omen Max 16 this year, the brand’s maximum game computer to date and wearing a QHD + Oled screen to make an intelligent measure. With the Intel and AMD processors of Top -End, a GPU circle of relatives of the RTX 50 series still finished and a new OMEN center, there is a lot to dive here. Not only that, however, the cooling formula is resistant to the accumulation of dust through the periodic investment of its enthusiasts, ordered!
If you don’t need to buy at the most sensible level of value value, HP also announced a refreshed Omen 16 at CES. You still have the option of AMD’s Ryzen Ai Nine (albeit the 365 model) and Intel’s Core Ultra Nine 285h, however, there are more features decreasing in value here, as well as a less expensive RTX 4050 GPU option.
HP has spanned the full price spectrum with its CES offering this year, also refreshing the budget HP Victus 15. There’s no Nvidia RTX 50-Series GPUs on the menu here, instead the cheaper model focuses on entry level RTX 4050 and RTX 4060 configurations without AMD’s AI processors or Intel’s Ultra models available.
Lenovo has renewed the pro and popular editions of its Legion line for its tenth generation this year, with the dog, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10, seeing the maximum improvements of functionality. Configurable for the Intel Core Ultra Nine 275HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 50Nine0 This is there with giant weapons, and the 2025 style even improves this also with a 16 -inch OLED panel. This is a complete edition of Intels, without available AMD characteristics.
The non-Pro version ticks things down to an RTX 5070 GPU but keeps the OLED, all while running with a currently unknown Intel Core Ultra 9 HX processor. We also don’t know how much RAM and storage Lenovo is packing into any of these non-Pro models.
The Legion Pro Five comes out with an Intel and AMD garnish this year, the first release on the most sensible scale with its Intel Core Ultra Nine 27FiveHX processor and the moment that an AMD Ryzen Nine NinenineFiveFivehx provides. It’s the most sensible of Team Red’s pyramid, and it’s an AI-oriented card (although the Fundamental Legion Five Gen 10 gives the AMD Ryzen AI 7 3Five0). However, both models are configurable for an RTX Five070 Ti, which sports up to 32GB of RAM.
MSI has nine (nine!) Organizations of laptops for gambling already ready this year, covering the ranges of Titan, Raider, Sigilo and Vector. This dragon is putting everything in 18 inches this year, with only 3 models that provide smaller screen sizes (and one of them is still sitting 17 inches). The configurations are basically based on Intel, with some characteristics of DMLA scattered among them as counterparts, and recently make RTX 5070 TI in RTX 5090 GPU.
Of course, right at the front of the flock, we have the MSI Titan 18 HX AI, a turbocharged device with parts in the most sensitive range, and the return of that 120Hz 4K 4K LED display. It updates those specs, but with an additional AMD option that provides a Ryzen Nine Ninenine55HX3D processor. Meanwhile, the Stealth series looks like the more flexible option. TI – RTX 50NINE0 GPU lineup, and a choice between the superior RTX 5070 4K presentations and the fastest QHD options.
The headlines of those models, however, come from cooling. MSI used them to start their SSD cooler, which the maximum operating temperature of their garage up to 10°C. Of course, they wouldn’t be those without Boy of Ia – MSI also introduced its own AI assistant for herbal language control.
Razer exacerbated his blade 16 by 2025, with an even thinner form so that it measures only 0. 59 inches and a stepped keyboard with a scroll distance of 1. 5 mm. Of course, the OLED panel that made the style of published laptops published last year, also showing all the RTX 5090 goodness in complete splendor. In addition to this, the 16 has won a new audio table with six speakers with personalized equalization orders.
With a new slimline form factor and a more powerful GPU comes the need to rethink cooling, and Razer has outfitted its latest release with its next generation vapor chamber and a dual-fan system. The solution now covers 57% of the motherboard while also using 0.05mm exhaust fins.
We also bring a combination of all pocket computers and the PCs of the game for more options, or take a look at the game tablets for a more cellular approach.

MSI Stealth 18 AI Studio review: “caught in the middle”
MSI launches six new 18 -inch laptops in CES
The tone of Four Borderlands is somewhere between the first two games, which means fewer Skibidi and Jack launderers, plus a beautiful Buffonwork style.
