Is DLSS 5's massive visual leap worth the heavy FPS penalty? 🎮🔥

We just tested NVIDIA's new 3D-Guided Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27 on an RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. With the new tech, you get much more realistic visuals, but frame rates dropped from 110+ FPS in 1600p to under 60 FPS before tweaking upscaling settings and turning on MFG.
Where do you stand on DLSS5 for now?
Make sure to watch our video:

Sub-2 kg chassis. 1,600-nit Tandem OLEDs. RTX Spark silicon. ⚡
Asus' new ProArt P14 and P16 creator laptops are looking incredibly interesting, but pricing across the board might be an issue.

How much would you be willing to pay for what the new platform offers, especially compared to the arch-enemy, Apple's MacBook Pros?

Drop your thoughts below, and check out our full hands-on preview live from IFA 2026!

Would you pay over $1,000 for a 27” OLED just for a 540Hz refresh rate? 🤔

We just dropped our full review of the Sony Inzone M10S II, testing it on an RTX 5090 rig and PS5 Pro:

Thin & light gaming laptops always come with trade-offs... but Razer is trying to break the rules again with the 2026 Blade 16.
We just tested it with Intel’s new Panther Lake Core Ultra 9 386H and a 160W RTX 5090 inside a super-slim chassis.
If you were shopping for a high-end 16-inch laptop right now, what would you pick? 👇

Does your mouse not have enough buttons?
Or do you suddenly want to take that new MMO seriously?
Well, then Razer's new Naga V3 Pro might be exactly what you are looking for.
The new wireless mouse comes with three interchangeable side plates, scaling things from the usual two thumb buttons to six or even 12, if you want to forego your keyboard completely.

I have had the transformer among mice for a few days now (and also used the non-wireless original Naga for quite a while as a daily driver) and even aside from the flexibility, it is a very solid wireless mouse, especially if you are more into the productivity side of things.
It is a bit on the heavier side, but makes up for it by being incredibly comfortable, and while you have to pay quite the premium for it, again, if you are looking for the flexibility to quickly make your mouse be suitable for every game genre there is, the Naga V3 Pro really has a lot going for it!

I will continue to test it for a bit, so if you have any questions or want to know something specifically, feel free to let me know!

Too bad you cannot upgrade your laptop's GPU... or can you?
We just tested the Aorus RTX 5060 Ti AI Box eGPU paired with an ultra-thin Lenovo ThinkPad X9 (Lunar Lake) for gaming, 4K video editing, and local AI shenanigans, and it worked quite well:

I finally have my hands on all the 2026 Asus ProArt mobile devices. The last piece of the puzzle was the Snapdragon X2 Elite powered ProArt PZ14, and I am actually quite excited for that one!
Stay tuned for the video, and we also reviewed a slightly lower-tiered but also much more affordable version of the PX13, running AMD's Strix Halo!
Which would be your choice?
