Nvidia’s Next-Gen Gaming Laptops Hit Pre-Order Next Week
Pre-orders for RTX 5070 Gaming Laptops Commence February 25th
Nvidia has announced that pre-orders for its next-generation gaming laptops will commence on February 25th. These laptops will feature the brand-new RTX 5070 graphics card, promising a significant leap in gaming performance.
Availability and Release Date
While the exact release date of these laptops remains unknown, they are expected to become available within a month of the pre-order date. Nvidia has officially designated March as the release month for some 50-series laptops, but precise information on specific models, such as the 5070 Ti, 5080, and 5090, is yet to be revealed.
Framework’s Mysterious Announcement
Interestingly, February 25th coincides with Framework’s announcement of new products. Details of these products remain scarce, with speculation swirling around a potential refresh of the Framework 16 laptop equipped with the RTX 5070 GPU. However, it’s important to note that this is merely conjecture, and the announcements could be unrelated.
RTX 5070: A Capable Polygon-Pusher
Laptops armed with the RTX 5070 graphics card and the latest CPUs will undoubtedly deliver exceptional gaming capabilities. However, some have expressed concerns regarding the card’s relatively low 8GB of GDDR7 memory compared to the 12GB found in the 5070 Ti laptop card and the desktop version of the RTX 5070.
Prudence Advised
As a seasoned technology journalist, I strongly recommend waiting for initial reviews before making a substantial investment in a brand-new gaming machine. The recent underperformance of the $1,000 RTX 5080 desktop card serves as a cautionary tale.
