Best RTX 30 series gaming laptops 2021 In this day and age, having a laptop that runs any current and next-gen video game with the finest settings is every gamer’s dream. Although last year's gaming laptops rarely touched that level of perfection, we might have a proper chance this time around with the help of Nvidia's powerful 3000 series GPUs and AMD’s fast and elegant processors. 3000 series are up and running Personally, I wasn't that excited about gaming laptops as I believed that providers might not be able to build a laptop running the latest GPUs. But it is happening and we got our first look at the RTX 3000 series gaming laptop at CES 2021. Not only was I impressed by the sheer volume of laptop enhancements this year but also by the rumored price points that I have heard. I won't be talking about the prices in this article as they are unofficial but I will be giving my top 6 picks from CES 2021 and why they are the best RTS 3000 series gaming laptops of the year. Let's talk about the best ones Let’s get right into it. These six gaming laptops have a class of their own. From CPU to GPU and the build itself show how much they have improved over the last year. Before starting it off with my first pick, I would like to tell you that this list will showcase gaming laptops that have RTX 3000 series GPU installed in them. In my list of the Best RTX 30 series gaming laptops 2021, I have not been able to rank these devices as we have not yet gotten the right look at them and their benchmarks. I will just be giving you my 6 picks from the CES 2021. So, this list of gaming laptops was made keeping in mind the RTX 3000 series. Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Lenovo is labeling its new lines of laptops for 2021 as futuristic. Although they are one of the providers who have managed to implement both the Ryzen 5000 series processor and Nvidia's 3000 series GPUs, they don't have the wide variety that ASUS has offered. We haven't got a hand on it yet and they are looking to be fine laptops, the one that deserves to be on our list of the best laptops but surely it will depend on the price of this one. Because the latest AMD processors and Nvidia GPUs arent cheap. It will definitely go down to who is selling at a cheaper price. Now let’s look at the attributes of these devices. Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. Specs & Other Features ● ● ● ● ● 16:10 aspect ratio Upto 16 GB Ram 16” QHD 165 HDR Display Upto 2 TB of storage Wright: 5.4 LBS GPU Lenovo legion 5 Pro comes with a NVIDIA RTX 3060/3070 graphics card. This is a huge boost as I have said before that I wasn't expecting them to have the latest GPUs. Battery The battery life is rumored to be around 10-15 hr which comes as a hurdle as ASUS ROG is claiming that their series of gaming laptops will offer a battery timing of upto 18-20 hrs which is just amazing. Pros ● Comes with a powerful RTX 3060/3070 GPU ● Supported by AMD Ryzen 500 H-Series processor ● World’s first QHD gaming laptop Price TBA Acer Triton SE Acer Triton SE is a 14 inch gaming laptop. It has one thing that is likable that it shows don't tell. The build of this device looks far from a gaming laptop with just a logo on the back top. But it has everything else which is required to be a top notch gaming laptop in 2021. One thing that I was disappointed in is that ASUS has gone with an intel processor where all the other companies are preferring AMD. And it is true, AMD is the better when it comes to processors for gaming. Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. CPU & GPU Acer has again preferred intel over AMD as they implemented an i7 11gen processor. I would really hope that it works well with the GPU and gives better performance. They also have managed to install a NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU. A GPU like that in a 14 inch device looks exceptional. This was one of the two reasons this device was on this list. The second one is its weight. Specs & other features ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 CPU: i7-11375H SE 16 GB RAM (up to 24 GB) 1 TB SSD 14 inch FHD Display with 144Hz THUNDERBOLT 4 Weight : 3.75 LBS Battery Up to 10 hrs of battery timings Pros ● Light weight ● Powerful GPU Price TBA ASUS Zephyrus Due 15 Last year ASUS Zephyris gave us a glimpse of what a gaming laptop could be and we were excited about the modification they could bring in this year's lineup. And let me tell, what I have seen, isn't disappointing, in fact it just amazing and facesitting by just looking at the route they have taken with this thing Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. But I got to say that the only problem that I had with its previous version was its thermal, which was producing a lot of noise and they seem to have corrected that. CPU & GPU This product has also been blessed with the new AMD processors as well as GPU upgrading upto RTX 3080. This is what I would say the premium gaming laptop. Specs & other features ● ● ● ● ● Type-C adapter (Up to 100W USB Power Delivery) AAS Plus cooling system Up to RTX 3080 GPU Upto AMD Ryzen 5900 HX CPU A stunning 300Hz FHD / 120 Hz 4k Display Battery Upto 15 Hours of playback timings (Runmored) Pros ● Switched to the latest AMD processors ● Improved thermal system ● 5% smaller than the last one Cons ● Trackpad on the right, shitty for left handers Price TBA MSI GE76 It is no surprise that the next two picks for the best gaming laptop for 2021 are from MSI. MSI, like Acer, have chosen Intel as their processor model and this is where things get interesting. In our list, we have three gaming laptops with intel processors and three laptops with AMD. So now, we might get a better perspective this year of which processor will be the leading processor provider and will have more power to handle the next generation of gaming. Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. CPU & GPU With the help of the powerful NVIDIA GPU which can be upgraded up to RTX 3080 and an 8 core intel i9 processor which can be upgraded to 10th generation, MSi GE 76 is a powerhouse which can run current and next gen games to their finest. Specs & other features ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 CPU: Intel i9-10th gen 17 inch FHD, 300Hz display 99.9 Whr Battery RGB gaming keyboard Duo wave speaker Type-A usb port Mini display 1.4 HDMI port Type-C port Pros ● Resizable Bar ● Bigger fans with wider heatpipes Price TBA MSI GP76 This is another device that caught my attention in this fascinating lineup of MSI gaming laptops. MSI GP76 is a powerful laptop which can run video games on a 144Hz refresh rate. This device is available on a 17 inch display which combined with the latest intel processor and the latest GPU provide a mesmerizing experience. I am curious to see the price of this device as it offers a lot. If they can manage to sell this one at a lower price then we are good to go. Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. CPU & GPU Same as most of the devices on this list, MSI GP76 supports the latest NVIDIA GPU that is RTX 3080 and also a 10th gen i7 intel processor to boost your gaming experience. Specs & other features ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080, 8GB CPU: Intel i7-10th gen 17 inch FHD, 144Hz display RGB gaming keyboard Type-A usb port Mini display 1.4 port HDMI port Type-C port Pros ● Resizable Bar ● Bigger fans with wider heatpipes Price TBA ROG Flow X13 I just couldn't believe at first that they are going with this strategy. I am one of those few individuals who were in support of a well made and optimized external graphics card. And it seem like ASUS has finally accomplished that.(ASUS have been fierce this year) They have introduced ROG Flow, a 13 inch gaming device which doesn't really look like a gaming device. It runs with the AMDs 5000 processors but here is the catch. This device comes with an external GPU. Yes, an external GPU which has an RTX 3080 in it. Now the external GPU we have here is relatively a lot smaller than the ones we have seen in the past and this change in strategy by ASUS will be a gamechanger. And I would say this right here, right now, either this device will pull huge numbers or it will be a start of something new which will change the gaming industry or be both. Either way, it is a win-win situation for ASUS gaming laptops. Performance I will be reviewing this device's performance as I get my hands on it, so let's just leave it for now. GPU ROG XG Mobile As I have told before, this laptop comes with an RTX 3080 external GPU. It is connected with a newly enhanced connection which is said to be delivering twice the bandwidth of thunderbolt 3. So you are definitely in for a ride if you can get your hands on to this device. Specs & other features ● ● ● ● ● ● 15mm thin 1.3 KG in weight Graphics : Nvidia GTX 1650 with an external RTX 3080 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5980HS 16:10 display ratio Display upto 120Hz FHD / 4K UHD Battery ● Upto 10 Hours of battery life (Video Playback) ● 100W Type-C charger Pros ● ● ● ● Price External GPU : RTX 3080 Light in weight Foldable to a tablet AMD processors and TBA Will these devices hold up We can say that we are already into the future when it comes to gaming laptops. The lineups we have this year is already showing an edge over the latest gaming consoles. Probably these gaming devices of 2021 would be able to go beyond 2021 adn will challenge the power graphics of the games to come this decade.
