The next-gen laptops will start at USD 999 and will be able to deliver ray-traced gaming experiences in Cyberpunk 2077 and other top titles and 3D rendering apps, and enable content creators to produce incredible work using hundreds of GPU-accelerated apps.

New NVIDIA Studio laptops were also unveiled, featuring the new GeForce RTX 30 Series laptop GPUs. They’ll come equipped with up to 16GB of video memory to work with huge assets and across multiple apps at the same time, pixel-accurate displays with 1440p and 4K options; and GPU acceleration for ray tracing, as well as AI and video encoding.
