It’s not often that you see an all-new notebook brand pop up stateside, but Monster Notebook has two laptops and a discrete Intel Arc graphics card set for launch later this year.
Turkey-based Monster Notebook has announced plans to bring its gaming PCs to the US.
The company—no relation to the cable maker or energy drink—was at CES this week to show off two laptops and a discrete Intel Arc graphics card, and to tout its plans to enter the US market later in 2024.
First, the products. The 14-inch Monster Huma H4 laptop, a productivity-focused model, runs the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and relies on the CPU’s built-in Intel Arc graphics silicon. The Core Ultra « Meteor Lake » chips also incorporate dedicated neural processing engine (NPU) elements for local artificial intelligence (AI) processing, one of the big trends from CES 2024.
More in keeping with the company’s gaming-laptop focus is the 16-inch Tulpar T6 V1.2. Intel unveiled new 14th Gen Core « HX »-series mobile CPUs at CES, and the Tulpar runs one of them, an Core i9-14900HX processor with 24 cores (up to 5.8GHz max turbo frequency). That’s paired with punchy Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (12GB VRAM) graphics.
