With recent improvements in efficiency of both CPUs and GPUs, laptops are becoming both thinner, and more powerful. The whole \u201cthin & light\u201d segment has really gained steam over the last 5 years. People don\u2019t want to carry around bulky square laptops anymore.<\/p>\n
Thin gaming laptops have been somewhat of a revelation over the pasts 2 summers. With Nvidia\u2019s MAX Q standard coming to mainstream laptops we have seen a large influx of crazy powerful machines that run GTX 1060\/1070\/1080\u2019s.<\/p>\n
We have also seen intel offer up excellent mobile versions of their latest 8th Gen CPU\u2019s, coming in 4 and 6 core variants. You can now get a thin and light gaming laptop that essentially has the full power of a large desktop.<\/p>\n
There are a few downsides associated with this thin gaming laptops. One seems to be battery life. While the components are very efficient, there just isn\u2019t a ton of room to fit a large battery in some of these systems making it hard to offer anything above adequate battery life.<\/p>\n
Some thin systems also suffer from durability issues, as their chassis are thinner, and more prone to bending then a full-sized counterpart might be.<\/p>\n
The last thing to consider is pricing. Thin and light laptops tend to be more expensive due to the increased manufacturing difficulty. So, expect most systems to have a starting price around $1600.<\/p>\n
With all that said, these new thin gaming laptops are truly incredible feats of engineering. The amount of performance that you can get in a device that will fit comfortably in a bookbag or briefcase is shocking. Its not a stretch to envision a future where there are only thin and light laptops. And the chunky grey or black boxes that we have become accustomed to quickly become a thing of the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
