Maximum PC: Gigabyte is tapping into NVIDIA's newest mobile Maxwell GPUs to power its P55K, a 15.6-inch notebook that's the first of a new generation of "powerful gaming laptops." In this instance, Gigabyte chose the GeForce GTX 965M with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory. Combined with the other parts, including an Intel Core i7 4720HQ processor (Haswell), up to 16GB of RAM, and a storage scheme consisting of an mSATA SSD up to 512GB paired with up to a 2TB hard drive, Gigabyte says the P55K tops 7,000 in 3DMark 11 (Performance).
Serious gaming on PCs has never been a particularly cheap hobby, but as powerful desktop rigs have become more affordable, so too have gaming laptops that pack enough power to satisfy all your gaming needs.
