Wait until the 50-series before purchasing yourself a shiny, new gaming laptop. After seeing what these GPUs may be capable of, I stand by my claim.

During CES 2025, Nvidia unveiled its lineup of next-generation GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs. While the desktop GeForce RTX 5090 garnered the most awe with its impressive specs, we also saw laptop GPUs — and these mobile GPUs might foreshadow what we can expect from the as-of-yet unannounced desktop GPUs, like the RTX 5060.
