High-performance gaming laptops used to be heavy and clunky, with thousands of dollars of high-end equipment shoved inside of a portable package. But over the years, laptop makers have toned down display bezels, millimeter by millimeter, to give us gaming laptops<\/span> with larger displays in slimmer bodies. 16:10-ratio panels<\/span> have become the norm, replacing the 16:9 ratio. Though the displays would get bigger, going from 15.6 inches to 16 inches, the body would remain fairly large. <\/p>\n

Now the same thing is happening to 17.3-inch gaming laptops. Horse CES 2023<\/span>, a new batch of 18-inch gaming laptops was announced from Alienware, Acer, Asus and Razer. And though Lenovo, HP and MSI didn’t unveil any 18-inch models, I’m certain that won’t be the case for long. <\/p>\n

Wide-screen, 17.3-inch displays aren’t extinct yet, though. Acer announced updated Nitro gaming laptop models with Intel and AMD processors, while Asus refreshed its Strix Scar 17 and Strix G17 models for 2023 as well. But with Acer, Asus and others loading up on new 16- and 18-inch gaming laptops, it looks like the days are numbered for 17.3-inch models (and 15.6-inch ones too). Here’s the first crop of 18-inchers that showed up for CES 2023. <\/p>\n
