The top 18 gaming products you can buy right now

In general, gaming hardware has a bit of staying power, at least until you get seduced by a next-gen console. The latest update to our buyer's guide included many carryovers from last time, although we saw fit to spin off both Sony's and Microsoft's respective cameras as their own entries. For the PC gaming set, we swapped in MSI's latest laptop powerhouse, the GT80 Titan, which offers top-of-the-range options and the satisfying clack of a mechanical keyboard. Also, we had to include Nintendo's latest 3DS XL; with face-tracking 3D, new buttons and Amiibo support, it's better than ever. You can find the whole lineup in the gallery below, but if you want to see some picks in other categories, our complete buyer's guide is always ready and waiting for you.

MSI GT80 Titan

If you've got the cash, MSI's GT80 Titan is one of the most interesting gaming laptops out there. It offers top-of-the-line graphics and processing options along with a large 18.4-inch display and a full SteelSeries mechanical keyboard. Of course, all that power comes with less portability. The laptop is nearly two inches thick, 18 inches across and 13 deep. With basic browsing, the battery will last you a couple of hours, but don't expect the same if you're rocking The Witcher 3.

Price: $2,900+
