It’s not every day that this many laptops are released all at once, but Asus has just unveiled 20 new gaming laptops covering a large selection of models that cover all manner of specifications.

The laptops are split into different product lines, which is typical for Asus, so some familiar names are back, including the ROG Zephyrus and ROG Strix. All of the units feature AMD mobile processors, and the range is vast. There’s also a wide selection of Nvidia’s RTX 3000 laptop GPUs, and even an external graphics device from AMD. Let’s take a closer look at all the different models.

Four laptops are released under the ROG Flow X13 name. These will be 13.4-inch notebooks with 360-degree rotating hinges and LCD touchscreens. Although these laptops are small and tablet-like, they are still equipped with a decent set of specs capable of supporting gaming.

There is some variety in terms of specs for these four laptops, but in general, they are fairly similar. The top notebook comes with a Ryzen 9 6900HS and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop graphics card, a screen resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also has 32GB of LPDDR5 memory and a huge 1TB SSD. The same CPU can be found in two more units. One of the laptops has a 3,840 x 2,400 resolution, but that model drops the refresh rate to just 60Hz. The most budget-oriented of the four is the model with a Ryzen 7 6800HS processor and integrated Radeon graphics.

Two laptops arrive as new additions to the successful ROG Zephyrus G14 line. These are 14-inch WQXGA laptops with 120Hz refresh rates and 2,560 x 1,600 resolutions. The top variant features an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor combined with a Radeon RX 6800S graphics card and 32GB of DDR5-4800 memory as well as 1TB of SSD storage. The second model has slightly worse specifications but remains suitable for all manner of gaming.

Just one laptop is released under the GC32L ROG XG Mobile name. It’s a lightweight notebook that comes with an external graphics unit, the Radeon RX 6850M XT 12GB graphics card, which could potentially result in some serious graphics power for gamers, especially for a laptop. There’s no information about the processor found in this device.

The Rog Zephyrus G15 series also brings two new laptops, each with a 15.6-inch WQHD screen and a whopping 240Hz refresh rate. Customers can choose between a Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combo or a Ryzen 7 6800HS combined with an RTX 3060. Both options feature DDR5 memory and SSD storage.

We’re reaching the big leagues here with the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16, featuring a 16-inch WQXGA panel with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 and a refresh rate of 165H, as well as a 14-inch touch panel, both of which are liquid crystal. This is a peculiar laptop with a dual-screen setup and some of the best specifications available on notebooks, including variants with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU.

Similar specs, although slightly worse, are to be found in the ROG Strix G17 and G15 lines. The 17-inch variant has a WQHD panel with a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, while the 15.6-inch G15 offers up to 165Hz. Processor and graphics choices range from the Ryzen 9 6900HX and the RTX 3070 Ti to a more modest Ryzen 7 6800H and RTX 3060 setup.

All of the laptops added to Asus’ catalog come with preinstalled Windows 11 Home, DDR5 memory, and SSD storage. The list of laptops was first discovered and compiled by Guru3D. With such a wide range of specifications and screen types, the new Asus gaming lineup is sure to quickly climb the list of the best laptops available in 2022.

Nvidia’s new rule could help you pick the right gaming laptop. Here’s why

Buying a laptop might seem easy, but if you want the best gaming laptop within your budget, you'll need to dig beyond surface-level information. With that said, every single spec should be readily available so that you know what you're buying, but that has not always been the case.

Fortunately, Nvidia says that it's working with its partners to make sure that one key spec is always listed: The total graphics power (TGP). Here's why it matters.
Why does TGP matter in laptops?

Where to buy the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D: new gaming CPUs at no extra cost
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU.

The day is finally here: AMD is adding to its list of best processors, and gamers have something to be happy about -- they both have the same recommended list price (MSRP) as their last-gen counterparts.

The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D both feature AMD's famous 3D V-Cache tech that makes them gaming beasts, but unlike the 9800X3D, they sport more cores -- making them better picks for productivity. The initial batch might sell out quickly, so check out where to get them once they go on sale today.

Watch out — there are fake AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPUs on Amazon

Buying one of the best processors from a retailer like Amazon seems like a safe bet, but that isn't always the case. A hardware reviewer just bought an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU on Amazon only to find out that it was fake. The box looked convincing enough, but the hardware found inside had nothing to do with the beastly CPU you'd expect to find. The worst part? I found fake listings on Amazon right now for that same CPU.

Crmaris from HWBusters is the unlucky shopper. He needed an extra Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU for testing purposes, so he ordered one from Amazon Germany. The reviewer claims that the CPU was sold directly by Amazon and was brand new, which should imply that it'd arrive in good condition.
