While the Nitro models are less aggressive than the Predator gaming laptops, they're not a whole lot more svelte, with some models at nearly seven pounds. The 15-inch "Black Edition" model does hit 5.07 pounds, though, meaning you can at least slip it into a (strong) shoulder bag. The promised battery life is also pretty decent for a high-powered notebook, at up to eight hours, but figure on much less for 4K gaming, obviously. The Nitro models start at $1,099/€999 for the 17-inch model and $999/€899 for the 15-incher, but we'd count on a lot more than that if you want to configure it with discrete graphics, extra RAM and an M.2 SSD. They'll arrive in Europe in September and in North America in October.
