ASUS has the Republic of Gamers, Dell has Alienware, HP has Omen, and even Lenovo recently released its own gaming sub-brand — Legion. It seems like Korean company, Samsung, wants a piece of the gaming pie by unveiling its gaming laptops at CES 2017 under the name — Odyssey.
The Odyssey gaming laptops will come in 15-inch and 17-inch variants. While not all of its specs have been fully disclosed, we do know that they will be armed with 7th-Generation Intel Core i7 processors, up to 32GB of RAM for the 15-inch and up to 64GB of RAM for the 17-inch, plus Full HD displays. The 15-inch variant of the Odyssey will have a NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti, while the GPU for the 17-inch version of the gaming laptop is still being finalized; though we are inclined to think that it will most likely be the NVIDIA GTX 1060.
