HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop review: Affordable gaming with a few caveats The dim display and lack of real mouse buttons could frustrate some users. HP’s Pavilion Gaming Laptop may seem like a relic from years past, given the rise of HP’s Omen line. Granted, the Pavilion line lacks Omen’s “For Gamers, By Gamers” cred, but...well, what’s in a name, really? The Pavilion Gaming Laptop is really just an Omen in disguise, an entry-level peer with mainstream branding. Variants The pricing is mainstream, too. The Pavilion Gaming Laptop starts at just $800 for a base Pavilion 15t model on hp.com , with Intel Core i5-9300H and a last-gen GTX 1050. The model we received is essentially HP’s “high-end” unit, equipped with an Intel Core i7-9750H, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, a 256GB M.2 SSD, and a 1TB HDD. It used to be discounted at Costco (no longer, alas) but remains available for  $1,600 at hp.com . You can adjust the configuration up or down to suit your b...

 ARGON PAUL TECH OUR VERDICT The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo offers a Core i9 processor, Nvidia graphics and two 4K screens ready for multitasking. Pros Two beautiful 4K touch displays Great overall and gaming performance Dual-screen functionality easy to use Speedy SSD Stays cool when gaming Cons Chunky and heavy Short battery life Weak audio From the Asus Taichi 21 to the Asus ZenBook Pro 15, Asus is the master of dual-screen laptops. But the company has outdone itself with the ZenBook Pro Duo. The $2,999 laptop is firing on all cylinders with a 4K OLED touch screen and a 4K touch secondary panel that runs the length of the chassis, creating a multitasking monster. Productivity? Check. Content creation? Absolutely. Gaming? Why the hell not? So how is Asus pulling this all off? Serious specs. Once you find some time to stop ogling and touching the screens, consider the overclockable Core i9 CPU, Nvidia RTX graphics and speedy SSD. But there are some caveats to consider: namel...

Incredible hybrid machine, the Alienware Area 51m is one of the best desktop PCs for video games. The machine is based on the best current components and can even be updated thanks to its modular design. Overpriced, yes, but what a marvel! The good The very high level of performance The exorbitant price The perfect finish The Bad High electricity consumption Reasonable noise from ventilation Difficult access to internal components   In a simple way, Dell presents it as the "most powerful gaming laptop in the world". And it's true that it's a monster, this Alienware Area-51m. An amazing hybrid machine weighing nearly 4 kilos, halfway between a "classic" 17-inch laptop and a desktop computer. To give it maximum power, Dell is equipping it with Intel processors (Core i7 and Core I9) designed for tower PCs, as well as Nvidia's new 3D chips, the GTX 2060, 2070 and 2080. This ultra-powerful engine is obviously complemented by the panoply of any recent good com...

Alienware m15 (2019) Score Details DT Recommended Product “Alienware's m15 is a gaming laptop you'll lust after, and you should indulge.” It looks awesome Excellent display options Lots ports in all the right places Solid performance in all games Bulky for its class Battery life is predictably 'ok' MSRP $1,299.00 I was quick to grab the Alienware m15 when it came into the Digital Trends office. It’s a laptop I’ve been waiting to test. Maybe even my most anticipated laptop all year. Why? Because it packs the design of Alienware’s gorgeous Area-51M in a far more practical 15-inch chassis that weighs just 4.75 pounds. The Area-51M was a looker, but it wasn’t a laptop built for most people. The Alienware m15, though? This one’s for you. For me. For everyone. It’s not exaggeration to say Alienware m15 is, and has long been, the Ford F-150 of mobile PC gaming. Want to game, but also need modest portability? It’s the default choice. Now, it’s also a looker. Everyth...
