Deciding on a gaming laptop is not just about the specs of the laptop, although that is a big part. You need to also consider aesthetics, some are slim and transportable, others are large, heavy, and not convenient to carry around. As well as dimensions it is worth considering looks, do you want people to know you have a gaming laptop or would you prefer something a bit more subtle. New gaming laptops are being brought out by many reputable brands, with so many variations in style, specs, and features. We compare the latest and greatest gaming laptops to your answers to find out which gaming laptop you should buy. As well as the looking at specific gaming laptops we also consider laptops not specifically designed for gaming but are perfectly capable for some users.
Which gaming laptop should I buy?
Buying a gaming laptop is quite an investment. Possibly more so than buying a regular laptop. The internal specifications have to be more powerful than your regular word processing computer.
But that doesn’t mean you will have to invest your life’s savings. Rather you have to compromise on different features to a regular laptop. Rather than a touch screen laptop that is thinner than a pencil, a thick laptop with a dedicated GPU may be more preferable. Maybe even the ability to use VR.
Thats not to say that all gaming laptops are thick these days. Thick laptops and gaming laptops for a long time have gone hand in hand. But now you can buy slim gaming laptops. The sacrifice for this sort of laptop are plenty. Mechanical keys (or just better keys) can not fit in a thin laptop. Heat dispersion is harder in a small laptop body, the thicker the better air flow, although some slim laptops have got around this issue by expanding the chassis when lifting up the lid. And you also have to compromise on internal specs as well, some big gaming laptops have desktop grade specs. We have added in a mix of thick gaming laptops and more travel capable thinner gaming laptops.
