Today, during Nvidia’s CES 2019 press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, CEO Jensen Huang announced a new line of third-party gaming laptops based on RTX video cards.

Huang announced that forty models are coming on January 29th, seventeen of which are based on Max-Q tech.

On top of that, he compared their performance to consoles. In particular, he mentioned that the MSI GS65 Stealth equipped with a GTX 2080 video card occupies only 30% of the volume of a PS4 Pro, but it comes packed with twice as much power.

It’s also faster than a desktop equipped with a GTX 1080 and can run Battlefield V with RTX enabled at over sixty FPS.

After showing off the laptop, Huang upped the ante by comparing the hardware to a next-generation console and mentioning that it redefines mobile gaming.

“I think we have redefined mobile gaming. This is twice the power of a PlayStation 4 Pro. Look at this thing: Next-gen console in my hands right now.”

He also introduced a second notebook equipped with an RTX 2060, the Acer Predator Triton 500. It’s described as faster than a GTX 1070-powered desktop PC, and 1.6 times more powerful than a PS4 Pro.

While we don’t know much yet (actually, we know nothing) about the next-generation of platforms, it’s certainly interesting to see Nvidia use consoles as a baseline for comparisons.

During the same conference, Nvidia also announced the GTX 2060 video card and showcased a new trailer of Anthem by BioWare.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
