You've probably heard a lot of hype around the Eluktronics MAG-15. I've got the Australian version of that here, the Vapor 15 Pro from Aftershock which uses the same chassis, so let’s find out how hot it runs, see if there’s any throttling, and see what can be done to improve performance. For the specs there’s an Intel i7-9750H CPU, Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti graphics, 16gb of memory in dual channel, and a 144Hz 1080p screen. It’s also available with RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics though, I’ll test this in the future, you can find updated prices to both configurations linked...

The ASUS Zephyrus S GX502 gaming laptop has some powerful specs in a thin form factor, but this combination usually equals higher temperatures and lower performance, so let’s test it out and find out just how hot it gets and see what can be done to improve it. I’ve got the highest specced version of the GX502, there’s an Intel i7-9750H CPU, Nvidia RTX 2070 graphics, and that’s the full one, no Max-Q here, along with 32gb of memory running in dual channel. The GX502 is also available with different specs, so expect different results with different configurations. You can...

There are a few different configurations...

The MSI Prestige 15 uses a new 10th gen Intel CPU, so let’s find out just how well it does in games and compare it against some other laptops to see the differences. For the specs it’s got the Intel i7-10710U CPU, and weird naming aside, this is the first time we’ve had the option of a U series chip with 6 cores and 12 threads. It’s a Comet Lake CPU, so it’s still based on 14nm, unlike the 10nm Ice Lake chips which are also available under the 10th gen umbrella just to keep things confusing. For the graphics...

The Lenovo T730 is a prebuilt gaming PC with some powerful hardware inside.
