Our verdict

Mid-range

NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada is a mid-range professional graphics card: built to speed up video, design and 3D work, not to play games. It has 8 GB of memory and came out in 2023.

It is currently fitted in 10 laptops from $1100, at an average price of $3899.

Above $2299 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M5 Pro 16-Core GPU is 28% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
