The GT75VR is a classic big gaming laptop that stops at nothing in the pursuit of providing the most powerful portable gaming experience you can get. With a 120Hz screen, GTX 1080 graphics card and Intel Core i7-7700HQ, it is sure to make mincemeat of any games you throw at it.

Joining the top-notch CPU and GPU are two super-fast 256GB M.2 SSDs configured in an even faster RAID 0 arrangement. You also get a 1TB hard drive, a fully backlit keyboard, a mass of connectivity and much more besides.

The one big caveat with this laptop, though, is that its 120Hz, 17.3-inch screen, has just a 1080p resolution and more importantly is only a TN LCD panel, not IPS. Potentially this kills the slightly broader appeal of this laptop as a day-to-day work machine, as well as one for gaming. So let’s see how it holds up.
