The days when it was impossible to find a gaming laptop that weighed less than 5 pounds are long gone. But the new Eluktronics MAX series gaming laptops are still impressively lightweight.
The company’s new MAX-15 laptop packs a 15.6 inch, 144 Hz display, an Intel Core i7-9750H hexa-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series graphics, but weighs just 3.8 pounds.
Eluktronics also has a MAX-17 with a bigger screen and battery that weighs just 4.7 pounds.
The new laptops are available from the Elektronics website for $1500 and up.
Whichever screen size you choose, you get a powerful laptop with support for up to 64GB of DDR4-2666 memory, up to 8TB of PCIe NVMe solid state storage (thanks to 2 PCie slots), a backlit keyboard with RGB lighting, and a full HD display with a high screen refresh rate.
