Video | Slim gaming laptops are awesome!

A thin chassis for a gaming laptop in 2026 does not mean you have to compromise when it comes to your (somewhat) mobile gaming experience! To put that theory to the test, we put the all-new ROG Zephyrus G14 and a few of its thin & light brethren to the test in 007: First Light, Pragmata, and Forza Horizon 6 to see what kind of AAA gaming performance you can get out of these super-mobile computing powerhouses.

For 2026, Lenovo "updates" its thin-and-light, premium 16-inch gaming laptop, the Legion 7, with an AMD Ryzen 400-series CPU.
