Gaming on the go
Gamescom 2025 has been extremely eventful for the world of gaming hardware, with major manufacturers like Microsoft and MSI unveiling all-new gaming handhelds. However, falling by the wayside thanks to the bigger reveals is the flurry of incoming gaming laptops — and I’ve rounded up all of the ones I saw, which we could see featured in our best gaming laptops guide when they release.
I only got to spend a short time with each of these laptops as I traversed the cavernous halls of the event, but what I’ve seen so far in terms of features, design, and specifications (featuring high end components from the likes of Intel, AMD, and Nvidia) have given me a good idea of what we can expect from these devices.
With big-league gaming brands like Samsung, MSI, and Lenovo all showcasing new devices, it makes perfect sense that these gaming laptops are the best I’ve seen at Gamescom this year.MSI Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Norse Myth
Now… while the Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition Norse Myth may feel like a bit of a gimmicky collector’s product rather than an actual mainstream gaming laptop, I’m here to set the record straight and say that’s far from the truth.
Featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 200HX series processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, this thing is an absolute gaming beast, capable of tackling just about any title you boot up on it without any issue.
