Best Gaming Laptop: Razer Blade 17

The Razer Blade 17 (2022) delivers serious gaming power. Thanks to the Intel Core i7-
12800H CPU and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU inside, this laptop can chew
right through most games on ultra settings without breaking a sweat. It also features a
drop dead gorgeous 240Hz panel, which deserves its own call-out, complete with Nvidia
G-Sync support to eliminate any screen tearing by matching the display’s frame rate to
the GPU’s.
 Best high-end CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K

The Intel Core i9-13900K is a desktop processor with 24 cores, launched in

September 2022, at an MSRP of $589. It is part of the Core i9 lineup, using
the Raptor Lake architecture with Socket 1700. Thanks to Intel Hyper-
Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 32 threads. Core i9-
13900K has 36MB of L3 cache and operates at 3 GHz by default, but can
boost up to 5.8 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Core i9-
13900K on a 10 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. You
may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on Core i9-13900K, which simplifies
overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
 Best Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090

The GeForce RTX 4090 is an enthusiast-class graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on

September 20th, 2022. Built on the 5 nm process, and based on the AD102 graphics
processor, in its AD102-300-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This
ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 4090. Additionally, the DirectX
12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading
and more, in upcoming video games. The AD102 graphics processor is a large chip with
a die area of 609 mm² and 76,300 million transistors.
 Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are technologies that enable users to
experience computer-generated images and sounds in a real-world environment. AR
and VR will be used in industries like gaming, education, healthcare, and retail, and will
enable users to experience a new level of immersion and interaction.

AR and VR technologies can enhance education by providing immersive learning

experiences, while healthcare professionals can use these technologies to simulate
complex procedures and surgeries. In retail, AR and VR can be used to provide
customers with interactive product experiences and personalized shopping
environments.
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation are two of the biggest technology trends that
will continue to transform industries in 2023. AI will enable machines to learn and make
decisions like humans, while automation will streamline processes and reduce human
error. AI and automation will be used in industries like healthcare, finance,
manufacturing, and logistics, and will help companies save time, reduce costs, and
improve productivity.
