Earlier this week, my hardware overlord Dave James and I had something of a gaming laptop dust-up. Each of us brought our top contenders so far from the latest, RTX 50-series generation into the office, took them into a quiet corner, and set them against each other to find out which was best.
I thought I was in with a pretty strong chance, to be honest. My chosen machine (or at least, my loaned review sample) was the new Asus ROG Zephyrus G16, the updated version of a laptop we saw fit to crown the best gaming laptop overall. Dave, however, unleashed the 2025 version of the Razer Blade 16, a thinner, edgier update to the Blade line that's been setting his hair on fire (metaphorically) for the past few weeks.
