At CES 2019, NVIDIA revealed its new RTX2080 and RTX2060 laptops that will be launching on January 29th. According to the green team, the RTX2080 laptops will be 2X more powerful than the Playstation 4 Pro whereas the RTX2060 laptops will be 1.6 more powerful than Sony’s console.
NVIDIA also claimed that the RTX2080 laptops will be more powerful than the desktop GTX1080 PCs, will be able to run Battlefield 5 with more than 60fps when RTX is enabled, will offer 6K RED video editing capabilities and will support interactive 3D rendering.
The green team also claimed that the RTX2080 laptops will be 15% lighter, 10% smaller, will offer 2.5X better battery life (suggesting that they will last up to 8 hours) and some – if not all – models will come with 144Hz G-Sync screens.
On the other hand, the RTX2060 laptops will be faster than the GTX1070 desktop PCs, will also be able to run Battlefield 5 with 60fps when the real-time ray tracing effects are enabled, will offer 4K RED video editing capabilities and will support interactive 3D rendering.
NVIDIA did not reveal how much these new laptops will cost, though we expect manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo Legion, MSI, Razer, and Samsung to reveal more details later this month!

AND they cost 2X and 1.6X more.
You wish? PS4Pro can be had for 350$
These laptops will both be well above 1K
Either way pretty stupid comparison
I expect that as well. Even the model with the 2060 will most likely be over $1,000. Probably closer to $1,500 and the one with the 2080 will probably be around $2,000.
You also have to pay at least $40 for a decent PS4 game.
…and then be forced to wait 1-2 years for the ‘privilege’ of paying Sony a further ~$400 for console hardware that’s actually capable of running decent games at an adult frame-rate!
You wanna compare a computer to a box that only plays videogames?
the comparioson is legit, all use mobile chips 😀
and who care? textures/meshes/key game design is defined by lowest common denominator (peasant boxes)
As sad as it is, this is the truth. Consoles dictate the entire industry. There was a time w hen PC versions stood apart, but aside from a couple minor differences these days, it’s mostly just resolution and framerate.

A pc with any i5 after 2011 paired with a 1060 is already more powerfull than a ps4pro
There is slightly more to this. They are actually launching 40 RTX 20 series mobility graphics cards, the RTX 2080, 2070 and 2060.
Also, each Model will come with “Max-Q” as an option as well, apart from the normal one.
There are only 17 Max-Q variants/designs right now. Such models usually have a lower TDP of the GPU, than the normal Notebook variants. They also differ in the base/boost clock speeds as well, based on the Power/Temperature target values.
MAX-Q is basically designed for slim/ultra thin gaming notebooks. It seems based on Nvidia’s past designs, there’s no limit set for how thin Max-Q laptops should be, and there’s no restrictions on thermals either, but we can expect many of these to run very hot though.
The GPU specs seem to be the same as the desktop grade, for the standard variant Laptops, except for lower TDP. I’m planning to buy a new Gaming notebook.
Right now I have a 1080p laptop with a 1050 non-Ti that I take with me when I travel or sometimes to work when I know it will be a slow day ; ) It’s fine for me. It’s not a good choice for newer more demanding games but I just play those on my desktop. I paid $630 for it.
What are you looking at getting?
Lucky you. I have a 1080ti and i7 in my desktop but my laptop is a 7 year old Sony Vaio with an i5 and Gtx 640m LE.
Couldn’t even get Dead Cells to run above 30fps.
Still not bad for the $200 I spent on it a year ago, but its going to be painful to have this as my daily driver when I go on my 3.5 month internship this summer.
Time to hunt down some old games on GOG that you might still want to play while you’re away I guess.
ya i got a pretty nice stockpile of late 2000’s games on there
I haven’t decided anything yet. It will depend on the price/specs of the Notebook. I’m only looking for the Max-Q variant, for casual gaming, as I don’t like carrying bulky/heavy Laptops with me.
There are actually quite a few options to choose from. I’m looking for the ASUS one though, but even Razer Blade, ACER and MSI (GT73 Titan/GE63 Raider) have new models.
ASUS is putting out the following models. Some are going to be expensive though.:
“ROG Mothership, ROG G703, ROG Zephyrus S GX701, ROG Zephyrus S GX531, ROG Strix SCAR II GL504, ROG Strix SCAR II GL704, and ROG Strix Hero II GL504 !”
ASUS makes nice laptops. I have had a couple over the years and no trouble with them. I have heard that their support is a nightmare if you ever need it but I never did so I don’t know if that’s true.
Right now I have a MSI GL62M. Nothing fancy but it does what I need it for.
2X performance of PS4 Pro at 10X price. Those laptops will $3000+ here in Canada .High end gaming laptops don’t sell vey well anyways. Nvidia’s comparison with the PS4 pro makes no sense.
the comparioson is legit, all use mobile chips …… 😀
John is trying his hand at clickbait articles, to no avail. It would work better at a site like N4G, here it just makes you look like a bigger fool than you already are.
“John is trying his hand at clickbait articles, to no avail.”
Yet you fell for it and clicked on it, then take the time to whinge about something your not interested in, something that was obvious in the title before you clicked on it.
No point in feeding that troll. Waste of time. He definitely has a personal vendetta against JOHN and his website.
Stick to texture pack news for that one game released in 1994. That other game too from 2001, had a new mod released that changed a uniform from bright red to orange and black. Clickbait doesn’t work for you John.
Excuse me but.. those laptops will costs double what my laptop costs PLUS a Playstation 4.
I’m starting to wonder if they are even worth it (for now, in the future maybe)
For that kind of money you can build a pretty good desktop computer too.
P.s. 2x time powerful but 50 times more expensive too.. consoles are supposed to be cheap. If they costs as much as that laptop, im sure they will be just as good (probably better, cuz the boxes are bigger) But hey? 2 times more performance XD! Yay?
Hello JOHN,
Kindly give this a read. It seems some info on the upcoming GTX 1100 series card has been leaked. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1180 spotted on GFXBench
