NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell is a mid-range professional graphics card: built to speed up video, design and 3D work, not to play games. It has 6 GB of memory and came out in 2025.
It is currently fitted in 28 laptops from €1761, at an average price of €2771.
Above €2075 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M4 Pro 16-Core GPU is 18% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
