All the Laptops (So Far) With 9th-Gen Intel CPUs, Nvidia Chips

If you're looking to buy a new gaming laptop, now is a good time to check out the market. New chips and graphics cards from Intel and Nvidia are ushering in a product refresh across the biggest PC brands.

On Tuesday, companies including Dell, Lenovo, and Razer all announced new laptop models running Intel's latest 9th-generation Core processors. Nvidia also expects over 80 new notebook models to arrive built with the company's GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and 1650 graphics cards.

According to Intel and Nvidia, the new laptops will offer notable performance gains over older PCs from three-to-five years ago. But in terms of price, the products can range from budget models at $869 to premium gaming notebooks that'll set you back $2,000 or more. Here's a list of what's been announced so far:

Dell

Starting today, you can buy the company's Dell G5 and G7 gaming laptops with Intel's 9th-generation Core processors and Nvidia's GTX 1650 or 1660 Ti cards. Prices for the models begin at $998, according to the company's website.

Dell has also refreshed its Alienware m15 and m17 models with the new Nvidia 1660 Ti graphics card, with prices starting at $1,709. Expect the 9th-generation Intel silicon to come to Alienware models in June.

Dell's popular XPS 15 ($948.63 at Dell) laptop is getting the new Intel and Nvidia chips as well, but also not until June.

Asus

Asus gave PCMag a hands-on with the ROG Zephyrus S GX502 (pictured above) running an Intel 9th-generation i7-9750H processor and a more powerful Nvidia RTX card. No pricing has been announced, but you can expect it to arrive later in this year's second quarter, which runs through the end of June

Asus is also developing a more affordable gaming laptop in the Zephyrus G GX502, which will come equipped with Nvidia's lower-powered GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. However, the system runs an AMD Ryzen CPU. You can pre-order it today, starting at $1,099, with the product expected to start shipping next month.

MSI

MSI refreshed its entire gaming laptop lineup to support Intel's new CPUs and Nvidia's 16-series graphics chips. The company's various models can now be upgraded to include up to a 9th-generation Intel Core i9 or an i7 processor. You'll also have the option to swap out the Nvidia 16-series graphics cards for a more powerful RTX card.

MSI is bringing the same offerings to the company's P65 and P75 Prestige series laptops, which are designed for content creators and graphic designers. The company plans on selling the new laptops over on Amazon.com and Newegg, but there's no word on pricing yet.

Razer

Razer is upgrading both the Blade 15 and Blade 17 with Intel's new 9th-generation CPUs. You can begin ordering the Blade 15 on April 24 in the US and Canada from Razer's website. The Blade 17 will arrive later next month. However, both models can only be fitted with Nvidia RTX cards.

The laptops won't be cheap. The starting price for the Blade 15 will go for $1,999, while the Blade 17 will cost $2,499 and up. If you have money to burn, you can upgrade the 15-inch model with a 4K OLED screen.

Lenovo

The PC-maker's Legion gaming products, including the Y740 ($1,219.90 at Amazon) , Y540 and Y7000p, will start arriving in late May with configuration options that will include the new Intel and Nvidia chips.

In addition, Lenovo is releasing two budget gaming laptops, the Legion Y7000 and the IdeaPad L340, which will also support the new chips. (The L340 is pictured above.)

It isn't entirely clear how much the new laptops will cost when configured with the new Intel and Nvidia chips, but the starting price for the 15-inch IdeaPad L340 is $869. The Y7000P, Y540 and Y740 models, on the other hand, will feature starting prices from $1,199 up to $1,669.

Gigabyte

Gigabyte decided to pack the new Intel and Nvidia chips inside a laptop that measures only 0.7 inches in thickness. The Aero 15 Classic can be configured with an Intel 9th-generation i9 or i7 processor, and then paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti card. According to Gigabyte's online store, the laptop starts at $1,799.

Gigabyte has also packed an Intel 9th-gen i7 processor and an Nvidia's GTX 1660 Ti card inside the company's Aorus gaming laptop, which features a 15.6-inch screen. You can buy the model for $1,599.

Acer

Acer is including Intel's Core i7-9750H processor and Nvidia's GTX 1660 Ti card as configuration options for three gaming laptops: the Predator Helios 300, the Nitro 7 and Nitro 5.

The company is also bringing the i7 processor to the Acer Aspire 7 with the option to upgrade to the GTX 1650. However, Acer hasn't announced the pricing or exact launch dates.

CyberPowerPC

CyberPower's new chips will be available inside the company's Tracer III gaming laptop. You can now buy the 15-inch model with an Intel 9th-gen i7 processor and an GTX 1660 Ti for $1,259. The 17-inch model, meanwhile, will cost you $1,399.
