If you’re a parent of a student who’s gone back to school- or you’re a student yourself - then picking a laptop for studying is incredibly important, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptops can help power the next generation of creatives, scientists and content creators.
First, let’s dispel a few myths. Laptops packing GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards may be absolute beasts when it comes to playing games - but don’t just think that these are gaming laptops.
These powerful laptops can use their graphical grunt to help boost the performance in demanding applications used by students in courses such as science, tech, engineering, digital arts and computer science.
Thanks to special NVIDIA Studio drivers, these RTX 30-series laptops are specially tuned to make use of creative applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, and use advanced AI and machine learning tools to speed up workflows - so you don’t have to worry about missing a deadline.
You may also think that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptops must be big and bulky, like the gaming laptops of old, but thanks to NVIDIA’s Max-Q technology, not only are these laptops incredibly powerful, they are also impressively thin and light as well.
With Max-Q, NVIDIA has designed graphics cards that strike the perfect balance between performance and energy efficiency, with help from AI-powered tools. This allows them to fit into svelte laptops that are easy to carry around - and that makes them ideal for students as they travel across campus.
Finally, don’t think that these laptops have to break the bank either. There are some brilliant thin and light back-to-school laptop deals out there and the cutting-edge components powering them means you won’t have to upgrade for a long time, so they’re great investments as well.
Take the ASUS TUF A15 with GeForce RTX 3050, which is just £649, or the Acer Nitro 5 with GeForce RTX 3050 at £699. You can also save £150 on the MSI GF63 Thin with GeForce RTX 3050, now £699.
Power and portability
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs power the world’s fastest laptops. This means that even the most intensive tasks such as rendering complex 3D scenes and models, running simulations and creating AI and data science models, can be completed much more quickly - and that means students can work faster and complete their coursework sooner.
With the AI-powered tools that come with Max-Q, including CPU Optimizer, Rapid Core Scaling and Battery Boost 2.0, these laptops are thin and light enough to carry around you all day, and they even come with exceptional battery lives, so you don’t have to worry about finding a power socket halfway through a lecture.
Thin and light laptops like 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 are brilliant examples of thin and light laptops that also offer incredible power and performance as well.
Fast-track your imagination
NVIDIA Studio helps students to take their creativity to new heights - both in and out of the classroom - thanks to accelerated apps, driver technology and exclusive tools. The Studio platform takes advantage of the raw power of RTX 30-series laptops, and fine tunes them for creative applications, specialising in 3D design, photo and video editing and more.
RTX 30-series GPUs are also great at utilising AI and machine learning, letting students add advanced effects and complete once time-consuming tasks in just a few clicks. That means less time spent fiddling around with settings and tools, and more time letting your creative juices flow.
For these tasks, 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 students with their coursework, they’ll also allow you to play the latest games at incredible graphics settings and frame rates.
GeForce RTX brings ray tracing to laptops, 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.
If you’re a competitive online gamer, then NVIDIA Reflex can give you the edge thanks to a range of revolutionary technologies that reduce system latency and boost responsiveness when you’re in the thick of the action.
Students need more capable laptops than ever before, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series laptops will power them through their studies - and let them wind down with the latest games as well.
