For true game fans, China Joy means more than just cute girls and cosplay. The numerous e-sports games and high-end game laptops are the focus of their attention.

At the just-concluded China Joy, PC manufacturers such as Acer, HP, Lenovo and Alienware have launched heavyweight gaming laptops, hoping to win the favor of gaming fans. But in this era of stacked CPUs, graphics cards, and displays, what tricks will these big brand gaming laptops use to stand out?

Acer——The Ultimate Predator GX-791

Top gamers must pursue the ultimate overclocking experience. A high-end overclocked e-sports product for e-sports players, the Acer Predator GX-791 uses a super powerful central processor for mobile platforms: Intel® Core™ i7-6820HK. The unlocked i7-6820HK can be stably overclocked to 4.0 GHz, providing players with a pretty good gaming experience. At the same time, the installation of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology will also provide players with excellent storage performance, faster response speed and better scalability.

In addition, the design of the Predator GX-791 emphasizes heat dissipation. According to Acer, heat dissipation is the first priority in the product design and is the basis of the entire product architecture. It is equipped with a three-fan cooling system, the world's thinnest 0.1mm blade fast-cooling metal fan and a server-grade vacuum cavity heat distribution plate. The ultra-thin blades can accommodate more blades and increase the air volume by 15%; the uniform heating plate with a heat transfer efficiency 10 times that of copper tubes can quickly remove a large amount of heat from the GPU. Based on this heat dissipation design, GX-791 does not use water-cooling peripheral configuration.

GX-791 will be launched on JD.com in the near future, with a retail price of 39,999 yuan.

HP——WASD Shadow Elf Series New Products

HP participated in China Joy for the first time and launched a full range of Shadow Elf products. At this China Joy, HP brought 4 new products to gamers, providing different choices in color, configuration, and size, including shadow red, elf green, desktop and 17-inch large-screen versions.

Take the WASD Shadow Elf II generation gaming laptop Elf Green and the WASD Shadow Elf PLUS gaming laptop as examples. Elf Green uses the new sixth-generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor*, and is equipped with NVIDIA GTX 960M/965M graphics card and GDDR5 video memory, which can run large games smoothly with high special effects. This new product has a comfortable green backlit keyboard, replicates the classic color scheme of Shadow Elf, and is paired with B&O speakers.

The PLUS gaming laptop uses the new sixth-generation Intel® Core™ i7 processing, has a 17.3-inch FHD anti-glare IPS display, provides a 178° wide viewing angle, and is less than 30 mm thick. This new product is equipped with a new generation of NVIDIA graphics cards and supports G-SYNC technology to reduce stuttering and delays as much as possible.

The WASD Shadow Elf series has a strong personality in appearance, but HP also emphasizes the special experience in operation. For example, in terms of keyboard design, there are 11 small steel pillars and 0.8 mm thick steel plates under the keyboard of the Shadow Elf series, which can give players a better feel when typing.

Lenovo——Savior Y900

The Savior Y900 is Lenovo’s first ultra-thin RGB blue-axis mechanical keyboard gaming laptop. It is equipped with a Core i7-6820HK overclockable processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M enthusiast-level gaming independent graphics. This combination ensures smooth running of various large-scale games. Y900 also has a one-click overclocking function, which can increase CPU performance by 7% and GPU performance by 6% with one click, meeting the needs of enthusiast-level games.

Obviously, the Y900 product also emphasizes the design of the keyboard. Y900 is the world's first gaming notebook to use an ultra-thin RGB blue-axis mechanical keyboard, with an ultra-long key life of up to 10 million times; 2mm deep key travel, ultra-fast response speed of one millisecond, and full keyboard no-bump design, which can bring a very good typing experience. At the same time, players can also use the professional Nerve center software to adjust the color of the 160,000-color RGB keyboard in nine regions.

Alienware  -Aurora R5 and Alienware 13

Of course, the world of gaming laptops is indispensable without Alienware, which is "born for gaming." The new Alienware Aurora R5 attracted the attention of many players as soon as it was unveiled at China Joy.

The size of Aurora R5 is smaller and more space-saving than the previous generation. It has a dedicated graphics processor with overclocking potential, including NVIDIA GeForce graphics for 4K gaming, and desktop cases with dual graphics cards can even support 12K gaming. The performance of Aurora R5 has also been greatly improved. It supports Intel overclocked processors, liquid cooling, and Kingston Fury

As for gaming laptops, the newly launched Alienware 13 has become the world’s first gaming laptop equipped with OLED display technology, providing a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and excellent color saturation. For example, deeper black can help players find enemies hiding in dark environments earlier and more accurately. The Alienware 13 is also the fastest Alienware laptop currently available (typically 1 millisecond).
