PC USER has reviewed many PCs in 2023, but let’s take a look back at the PC trends of the year.
Let’s look back on 2023 with the PC reviewed by PC USER
Top-end laptops have been significantly powered up
Gaming notebook PCs and creator PCs will continue to evolve significantly in 2023. Intel’s CPUs were minor changes between the 13th generation Core and the 12th generation Core, but the top end for notebook PCs was significantly powered up by bringing in the architecture for desktop PCs.
PCs equipped with the Core i9-13980HX and its rival Ryzen 9 7945HX have easily exceeded 30,000 pts in CINEBENCH R23 CPU scores, surpassing the average high-end desktop PC.
In 2024, PCs that use the new Core Ultra (development code name: Meteor Lake) will be released one after another, so I’m looking forward to reviewing them.
ASUS JAPAN’s “ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2023) G834JY” is equipped with Core i9-13980HX for the CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU for the GPU.amazed by the amazing power
ASUS JAPAN’s “ROG Strix SCAR 17 (2023) G733PY”. This is equipped with a Ryzen 9 7945HX CPU. Similar to ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2023), it demonstrated power that exceeds the boundaries of traditional notebook PCs.
The form factors of high-performance PCs are becoming more diverse.
On the other hand, the evolution of GPUs has also been significant. NVIDIA’s new generation GPU, the GeForce RTX 40 series, has made remarkable progress in terms of power efficiency.
Although the power efficiency may be improved, the specs are kept modest, so it may be considered a little weak for a desktop PC or a stand-alone graphics card, but for notebook PCs where heat dissipation space is severely limited, the power efficiency improvement is by design. This has led to greater flexibility in form factors (thinner and lighter weight) and operational comfort (quieter, lower heat generation).
In particular, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU can be installed in portable tablet-style PCs such as ASUS JAPAN’s “ROG Flow Z13 (2023)”, making it a high-performance yet highly portable gaming notebook PC, a creative Many notebook PCs have appeared.
ASUS JAPAN’s “ROG Flow Z13 (2023) GZ301” is a tablet that weighs approximately 1.2 kg but is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. The improved power efficiency of the GPU is also a big factor.
The separation between gaming and creators has become clearer
The trend between gaming PCs and creator PCs is that, along with the diversification of form factors, the focus points of each have become clearer, and the divisions have become clearer.
Specifically, for gaming PCs, GPU performance is given top priority, as well as screen refresh rate and keyboard response, while creator PCs place emphasis on memory, storage capacity, screen color reproduction, and resolution. Priority will be given to factors such as the installation of Thunderbolt 4. NVIDIA recognizes that it can provide the optimal experience for creators.NVIDIA StudioThere are many products that have been certified.
Especially in the middle-class price range where there are cost constraints, I think that by having these focus elements become clearer, the level of satisfaction for each purpose is increasing.
Mouse computer gaming PC “NEXTGEAR J6-A7G60GN-A”.It has a gaming-focused specification that balances an affordable price and high satisfaction while keeping the specs to a minimum.
The mouse computer “DAIV Z6” has the elements required of a PC for creators, while being thin and lightweight at approximately 1.6 kg. This is probably due to the power efficiency of the GeForce RTX 40 series.I didn’t have a chance to review it, but it’s a typical product that shows evolution in 2023 and is also an NVIDIA Studio certified PC.
Next up is the trend of mobile PCs and business PCs.
