Many RTX 5070 Ti laptops are now available for pre-order ahead of their release around April, so we’ve put together this guide to give you an overview of what’s available, and highlight some of the laptops that are standing out from the crowd right now.

From what we’re seeing, there are a good few options up for pre-order, with prices ranging from around $1500 to a fair bit higher in some cases. We’re seeing plenty of laptops from ASUS, Acer, and MSI as expected, but we’re also seeing some alternatives (albeit expensive alternatives) from Razer – namely its Blade 18 that boasts a World’s First 18″ Dual mode display. It’s worth noting that Alienware may be bringing back its Area 51 laptops, but it doesn’t seem to be doing it for the 5070 series. We’ll keep you updated if that changes, as it will likely produce some of the best 5090 laptops and best 5080 laptops this year.

AMD launches latest Ryzen 9 9950X3D & 9900X3D CPUs!

AMD's highly anticipated Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D chips have finally arrived! Below, we will be listing all the latest listings from the web's biggest retailers.

*Stock availability and pricing subject to change depending on retailer or outlet.

The best retailers to look at right now for pre-orders would be Best Buy and Newegg in the US, and Overclockers and Scan in the UK. Amazon has some listings at the time of writing, however, they don’t appear to be available to pre-order just yet.

The best RTX 5070 Ti laptops currently listed at a glance

Here are some of the standout laptops we’ve seen, some of which are available to pre-order right now.

ASUS

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 64GB DDR5 5600MHz RAM
  • Storage: Up to 4TB PCIe Gen4 in RAID 0 (slots support PCIe Gen5)
  • Max Refresh Rate: 240Hz
  • Resolution: 2.5K
  • Panel Type: Mini-LED (100% DCI-P3, G-SYNC, ACR)

The most premium ASUS gaming laptop is the ROG Strix SCAR, which is distinct from the standard ROG Strix, offering more premium features and a higher ceiling for memory and storage upgrades. This laptop is available in two display sizes: 16 inches and 18 inches. Both variants retain the Mini-LED aka Nebula HDR technology from the previous generation, boasting G-SYNC support and full DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. A key upgrade this year is the introduction of an ACR anti-reflective coating, which ASUS claims can cut glare by 55% while improving contrast by a factor of 4.5 (real-world testing will confirm how well this holds up). The design takes cues from the Zephyrus series, featuring a customizable LED strip on the lid, along with a striking new 360-degree light bar wrapping around the base.

As far as we're aware, this device, at least the 18” version, can only be equipped with the RTX 5070 Ti GPU or greater (i.e. the RTX 5080 or 5090). Vapor chamber cooling comes standard and there's a nice tooless design that allows for upgrading the RAM and storage with ease.

ASUS ROG Strix 16 (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 32GB DDR5
  • Storage: Up to 2TB SSD
  • Max Refresh Rate: 165Hz / 240Hz
  • Resolution: 1900 x 1200 / 2560 x 1600

The ASUS ROG Stri G16x might not come with all the bells and whistles of the SCAR laptop above, nor have quite the same build quality, but it can still offer you a fantastic gaming experience at a very reasonable price. You can pick up either a 165Hz 1200p model or a 240Hz 1600p option, with either an RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti GPU. In terms of the CPU you can pick from either Intel Core Ultra 200 Series or up to AMD Ryzen 9 HX, and it's nice to have that choice.

ASUS ROG ASUS Zephyrus G14 (Ryzen AI 9 HX, RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Up to AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 32GB LPDDR5X 7500MHz
  • Storage: 1 TB
  • Max Refresh Rate: 120Hz
  • Resolution: 3K
  • Panel Type: OLED

The ASUS Zephyrus series stands out for its slim, lightweight design, making it an excellent alternative to MacBooks or Surface devices for productivity while still delivering solid gaming performance. The 2025 models retain last year's sleek chassis, featuring a programmable LED display on the lid for those who like customization. Available in 16-inch (G16) and 14-inch (G14) versions, the G14 remains a highlight, consistently ranking among the best compact gaming laptops. This year the G16 can be equipped with either an Intel or Ryzen CPU, along with an RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti, but the G14 is limited to the Ryzen processors (not that we're complaining), such as the Ryzen AI 9 HX.

The G14 impresses with a 3K OLED display, G-Sync support, full DCI-P3 color accuracy, and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the G16 boasts a 2.5K panel at 240Hz. All models also include WiFi 7 for faster, more reliable connectivity. ASUS mitigates the thermal issues caused by the thin chassis with advanced cooling tech, including a Vapor Chamber and liquid metal thermal compounds.

Acer

Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Up to Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX / Ultra 9 275HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 / RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 64GB DDR5 6400MHz
  • Storage: Up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD
  • Max Refresh Rate: 250Hz / 240Hz / 165Hz
  • Resolution: 2560 x 1600 / 1920 x 1200
  • Panel Type: Mini-LED / LED
  • Dimensions: 400.96 x 307.9 x 14.9/28mm
  • Weight: 3.3kg
  • Camera: FHD (1920×1080) IR camera

This year Acer are releasing five different laptops within their Predator Helios range: a 16-inch and 18-inch version of the standard Predator Helios, which are a bit thicker, plus come with WiFi 7, MagKey 4.0 for the WASD keys, PICe 5, improved fans, and slightly better build quality among other tweaks. The 18” model only comes with an RTX 5080 or 5090 though, so isn't suitable for this guide. The Helios variants of both these laptops lack the features listed above, but are cheaper and come with the same horsepower under the hood in terms of the CPU options, which is ultimately what we care about. Both sizes of the Neo can be equipped with either an RTX 5070 Ti or 5070 GPU. The Acer Predator Helios Neo 18 AI also has the same 240Hz Mini-LED display as the standard variant, which we're very pleased about.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Up to Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX / Ultra 9 275HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 64GB DDR5 6400MHz
  • Storage: Up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 SSD
  • Max Refresh Rate: 240Hz / 165Hz
  • Resolution: 2560 x 1600
  • Panel Type: OLED
  • Dimensions: 356.78 x 275.5 x 12.0-19.9mm
  • Weight: 2.3kg
  • Camera: FHD (1920×1080) IR camera

If you're looking for a 16-inch Acer Predator model with an RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti then you have three options to choose from: the standard Predator Helios 16 AI, the Predator Helios Neo 16 AI, or the Predator Helios Neo 16S AI, and it's the latter of these that piques our interest the most. As with the 18-inch laptop, the standard Helios 16 AI comes with all the additional bells and whistles described above plus the option for more powerful core components and more SSD storage, however, it costs the most money. The Helios Neo 16 is a cheaper version of this that is limited to WiFi 6E, PCIe Gen 4, older fan tech, and Thunderbolt 4. Finally, the Helios Neo 16S AI is a slimline, extra-portable version of the Neo 16 that only measures 20mm at its thickest point but still comes with the same CPU options as the other two laptops, plus the option for an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, a 210Hz/165Hz 1600p OLED display, up to 2TB of storage, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. It does have a smaller 76Whr battery (compared to the 90Whr in the other two), which is a bit of a trade-off, but it looks like it could be a great option for creators and gamers on the go.

MSI

MSI Vector A18 HX (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Up to AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 32GB DDR5 5600MHz
  • Storage: Up to 2TB SSD
  • Max Refresh Rate: 240Hz
  • Resolution: 2560 x 1600
  • Panel Type: LED
  • Dimensions: 15.91″ x 12.09″ x 1.26″
  • Weight: 7.94lbs
Show more

The MSI Vector is the company's more affordable gaming laptop line, which can be equipped with similar core specs to the more premium Raider series, but doesn't match it in terms of cooling, premium display options, memory and storage capacity, build quality, and RGB. Still, you can get up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage on these bad boys, and a 240Hz 1600p screen for quite a reasonable price.

We've seen an 18-inch version of the laptop with the option for the powerful AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, so those looking for a Ryzen CPU option, but you can also get an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX model or an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX model with 1200p display for very cheap (only $1,599).

MSI Stealth A18 HX (RTX 5070 Ti)

Specifications
  • CPU: Up to Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
  • Memory: Up to 64GB DDR5 5600MHz
  • Storage: Up to 2TB SSD
  • Max Refresh Rate: 240Hz
  • Resolution: 2560 x 1600
  • Panel Type: LED
  • Dimensions: 15.74″ x 11.41″ x 0.94″
  • Weight: 6.39lbs
Show more

The Stealth line are the slimmer and lighter models of MSI's creative/gaming laptops, that typically lack the Wattage of the thicker boys, meaning reduced power to the CPU and GPU, but still come with some impressive core spec options that can handle most AAA games on the higher settings. Despite the thinner size, you can also equip the laptop with an impressive 64GB of DDR5 RAM and 2TB of SSD storage.

Razer

Razer Blade 18 NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti 32GB

Specifications
  • GPU: RTX 5070 Ti
  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
  • Storage: 1TB M.2 SSD
  • Memory: 32GB DDR5 5600 MHz
  • Max refresh rate: 440Hz
  • Resolution: UHD

As expected, Razer has its own line of 5070 Ti laptops, featuring punchy specs and its classic streamlined ‘Blade’ design aesthetic. Currently, this Razer Blade 18 is listed at some retailers, but not all at this time – and it’s one to earmark for sure come release.

This laptop boasts a powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, which is way up there with some of the best laptop CPUs you can get. Storage is decent, coming in at 1TB, and it has 32GB of DDR5 RAM which is every so slightly on the slower side compared to some of the 6000 MHz options you can find in desktops. Probably not too noticeable, so we wouldn’t pay it much mind.

What’s interesting about this laptop is the ‘world’s first’ 18″ Dual Mode Display. What that means is that you’re getting a massive screen, but also one that can switch modes between UHD and FHD, and work with different refresh rates. Impressively, you can get 240hz at 4K, and 440Hz in FHD. That’s a real win, and something that allows this laptop to take full advantage of Multi Frame Generation and DLSS 4. It also features, as with many of these laptops, an impressive 175W TGP to assist with any AI experiences, whether that be for gaming or creativity.

The cooling system is redesigned and overhauled too, featuring a massive vapor chamber and improved thermal gel on top of the various exhaust and internal fans.

Coming in at £3,099.95 in the UK, this is definitely one oft he pricier options, as to be expected from Razer. Considering what it offers it may well be worth the investment, but at this price, the RTX 5080 laptops from other brands could appeal more.

RTX 5070 laptop release date & RTX 5070 Ti laptop release date window

As you can see from the image below, taken from Nvidia's site, RTX 5070 Ti laptops will be released first in the month of March, with RTX 5070 laptops coming a bit later in April. We don't have a specific date yet for either, however, and the likelihood is that we won't know in advance what dates they'll land on – all we can suggest is to check the above retailers regularly throughout these months to see if the laptops are in stock.

How much do RTX 5070 & 5070 Ti laptops cost?

As is fairly typical in the world of gaming laptops, the price range for both RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti laptops will vary considerably depending on the brand and the specific model. You could, for instance, get a more budget-friendly laptop that's pretty stripped back in every other feature than the GPU, or conversely a model with a high-end CPU, the best display around, loads of RAM and storage, and great overall build quality. There's also variation in terms of the amount of power (TGP) that is directed to the GPU between different laptops, which can have a big impact on performance and the price.

Of all the models listed on retailers, at the time of writing, we've seen the price range between $1,599 and $2,899 for RTX 5070 Ti laptops alone, which is a very big range. The extremes at either end of this range are fairly big outliers though: most RTX 5070 Ti laptops will cost around $2,200 if you're in the US, give or take a couple of hundred dollars. RTX 5070 laptops will often retail around the $2,000 mark, though again with a fair bit of variance on either side.

RTX 5070 laptop vs 4070 laptop performance & specs

As detailed by the gaming laptop guru himself, Mr Jarrod'sTech, the core specs of the laptop RTX 5070 remain almost exactly the same as that of the laptop RTX 4070, with the same CUDA Core count, 8GB VRAM capacity, and 128-bit memory interface. The newer card is based on improved architecture, and has GDDR7 VRAM instead of the older GDDR6, so we hope to see some improvement to the raw performance, but it's unlikely to be much of an uplift based on what we know, particularly given the upper TGP allowance caps out at 100W, compared to the 115W max of the RTX 4070.

We won't know of course until the first laptops are independently benchmarked, but we imagine the majority of performance uplift will come from the multi-frame generation tech of DLSS 4. This alone could still make RTX 5070 laptops well worth buying, it ultimately depends on what the pricing ends up like relative to RTX 4070 machines (which may drop significantly in price), plus how appealing the updated CPU and other features end up being.
