    Lenovo’s new Legion Pro 7i 16 gaming laptop has a 240Hz OLED and RTX 5090 GPU.

    The new 16-inch Legion Pro 7i, announced at CES, features Nvidia 50-series GPUs and up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX. It will start at $2,399 when it launches in March.

    There’s a lot of intriguing new gaming laptops in this range, but not all of them offer a 2560 x 1600 240Hz OLED in all configurations.

    Check out these colorful modular mouse shells.

    HP is announcing a new modular wireless gaming mouse for CES. The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro comes with two sizes of interchangeable upper / lower shells and side buttons, but you’ll be able to make it your own since HyperX will post the 3D-printing designs on Printables.com.

    Check out these remixed mice with alternative materials like wood. The Saga Pro will run $79.99 from HP.com, launching in March.

    Not just the gaming laptops, but the thin-and-lights, too.

    MSI has buttoned-up Venture and Venture Pro business notebooks for CES to go with its gaming laptops. They come in 14- to 17-inch sizes, with older Intel Meteor Lake chips or AMD’s Ryzen AI 7 350. The Venture Pros get discrete 40-series GPUs.

    MSI usually means business when it comes to specs, but I guess it makes exceptions for business.
