Alienware Area 51M vs. Asus ROG Mothership GZ700 vs. Razer Blade 15
Absolute power? Or a nod to portability? Nvidia now bifurcates its mobile GPU offerings, with full performance or so-called Max-Q options, the latter running lower clocks, drawing less power, and squeezing into slimmer systems. A thin-and-light laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080? For real. But what makes for the better all-around gaming laptop?

Play PC Games On Your Smartphone
We’re not short of options when it comes to streaming games. We’ve talked plenty in these pages about the immensely useful Steam In-Home Streaming, we’ve covered the likes of GameShow and XSplit, which send your games up to Twitch and other online streaming services, and we’ve even looked at ways you can beam console games through your network and play them on your PC. Well, add Remotr to the list. It’s immensely flexible, offering up client apps for smartphones, tablets, and other Windows PCs, happily streaming over cell phone networks if you have the data allocation for it, and it’s incredibly simple to set up and use.Let’s preface this a little, though, with a couple of caveats. Point one: Don’t expect ultra performance or lag-free gaming. Remotr’s solution is quick and very well coded, but it’s not going to be suitable for the twitchiest games, particularly if you’re streaming outside of your local network. It also scales down the quality of streaming (though not the quality of the source game) to meet your network specifications, so if you’re obsessed with uncompressed graphical fidelity, you might be best staying at your home PC.
