Gigabyte Aorus X9 DT
Gigabyte has done a pretty good job. The mechanical keyboard with firm feedback and its bright RGB backlight was a pleasure to use. Connectivity was decent and includes Thunderbolt 3. And the 144 Hz display in combination with the Core i9-8950HK, the GeForce GTX 1080, and Nvidia’s G-Sync technology was certainly a highlight.

The MSI GS65 8RF Stealth Thin is one of the thinnest and lightest gaming laptops around. It measures just 17.7mm thick and weighs 1.8kg, which is pretty impressive for a 15.6-inch laptop. But underneath that svelte chassis lies plenty of power, and it...
