Now you’re back at uni – or your kids are – it’s important to have the right kit to ace your studies. And while once-upon-a-time just some stationery and textbooks would do, a laptop is now the most essential tool you can take with you – especially if you’re studying subjects like science, arts or engineering. Fortunately, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptop will handle anything you throw at it, helping to supercharge your programming, data science or content creation.
Let’s bust some myths about laptops packing GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards. They may be gaming giants, but that doesn’t mean they’re solely for gaming. Instead their graphical grunt helps them handle heavy-duty apps used by students on science, tech, engineering, digital-arts and computer-science courses. Thanks to special NVIDIA Studio drivers, GeForce RTX 30-series laptops are perfectly engineered for handling creative tools like Adobe Photoshop, and use advanced AI and machine learning tools to supercharge workflows. So there’s now no need to worry about missing that deadline.
Secondly, you might expect GeForce RTX 30-series laptops to be big and bulky, like the portable computers of old. But thanks to NVIDIA’s Max-Q technology, not only are these laptops incredibly powerful, they’re also impressively thin and light. They’ll comfortably fit in your bag along with your textbooks and carrying them around all day is no longer a recipe for aching shoulders.
These laptops won’t break the bank either, as there are some cracking thin and light laptop deals out there. Take the ASUS TUF A15 with GeForce RTX 3050, which is just £649, or the Acer Nitro 5 with GeForce RTX 3050, which will only set you back £699. You can also save £150 on the MSI GF63 Thin with GeForce RTX 3050, meaning you’ll get your hands on it for just £699. As an extra sweetener, the cutting-edge components they’re rocking mean you won’t have to upgrade for a long time, so picking one up will be a sound investment long-term.
Super-powered, super portable
Some of the world’s fastest laptops will have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series GPU under the hood. Even the most intensive tasks, from rendering complex 3D scenes and models and running simulations, to whipping up AI models, can be completed at lightning speeds. That means no more late nights rendering or compiling right before your deadline.
On top of this, all those AI-powered tools squeezed into NVIDIA’s Max-Q tech – like CPU Optimizer, Rapid Core Scaling and Battery Boost 2.0 – mean these laptops can deliver the goods while being streamlined. Their featherlight components mean carrying these laptops around is a breeze, and their increased efficiency means they won’t demolish your battery charge – no need to panic-find a power socket halfway through a lecture.
There are plenty of thin and light laptops offering great power and performance out there. Be sure to check out the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with GeForce RTX 3060, which is now £170 off at £729.97, and the Acer Swift X with GeForce RTX 3050Ti for £1,199.99.
Fast-track your imagination
Take your creativity to new heights – both in and out of the classroom – with NVIDIA Studio’s accelerated apps, driver technology and exclusive tools. The Studio platform harnesses the raw power of RTX 30-series laptops and fine-tunes it for creative applications, adding a lot more oomph to 3D design, photo and video editing and more.
GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs are also a dab hand with AI and machine learning – you can easily add advanced effects and complete once time-consuming tasks in just a few clicks. So you’ll be able to spend less time fiddling around with settings and tools, and more time letting your creative juices flow.
So if you’re interested in adding some rocketfuel to your creative work, check out the Gigabyte G5 with GeForce RTX 3060 for £899 and the MSI Katana GF66 with GeForce RTX 3070 for £999.
It’s not all work and no play
Of course, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptops won’t just help with your coursework; they’ll also allow you to play the latest games at incredible graphics settings and frame rates. With GeForce RTX, your laptop will be capable of ray tracing, offering incredibly realistic and immersive lighting, reflections, and other effects to help you get lost in the gameworld. Meanwhile, DLSS uses AI to boost frame rates and allow for amazing graphical effects, even on lower-end hardware.
And if you’re a competitive online gamer, then NVIDIA Reflex guarantees you the edge. Its range of revolutionary technologies reduces system latency and boosts responsiveness when you’re in the thick of the action, giving you the drop on your opponent in any standoff.
Clearly, you need a capable laptop to handle every task you encounter throughout your day. Fortunately, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptops will give you everything you need for you to ace your studies – and smash the latest AAA games in your downtime.
