5 wildly exotic laptops we can't wait to use in 2017
Finally, the laptop that might see the biggest improvement in 2017 is yours, even if it's a piece of junk. Nvidia's GeForce Now stole the spotlight at the company's CES 2017 keynote, and it held up wonderfully in my brief hands-on with the service. GeForce Now even opened up positively sacrilegious scenarios like playing Witcher 3 on a MacBook Air or Rise of the Tomb Raider on a 5K iMac--gaming experiences you could never, ever achieve on Apple hardware otherwise. GeForce Now's expensive pricing tiers--$25 for 20 hours at GTX 1060-quality graphics, or 10 hours at GTX 1080 levels--drew immediate fire, however. Interestingly, startup LiquidSky held an event of its own just two days later and announced a PC game-streaming service that essentially works the same as Nvidia's service.
