Things to Consider When Buying a Gaming laptop

Here’re the factors you need to look for:

Processor

The processor is an important aspect to consider when buying a gaming laptop because the performance of your computer depends on it. Everyone has different needs and budgets, so choosing the right processor according to your needs can make your experience better. If you’re an entry-level gamer, I’d recommend you start with the Intel Core i5 processor that can handle most of the games with ease. Alternatively, if you’re a regular gamer, you might want to consider a laptop with Intel Quad-Core i7 processor. These processors come with high-functionality to provide seamless gaming experience.

Storage

There is no doubt in saying that storage affects the overall speed of your computer. If you’re an entry-level gamer and running on a tight budget, then 1TB HDD may prove sufficient for you. However, if you’re a hardcore gamer, then SSD storage is highly recommended that performs much faster than the traditional HDD. The laptops with SSD storage are fast and reliable, but they come with a hefty price tag than hard disk drives.

Graphics Card

Like the processor, GPU is equally important when it comes to the performance of a gaming laptop. If you want a butter-smooth display and want to enjoy all your favorite games in high settings, then you may need to invest in high-end graphics. If you’re an entry-level gamer, then a laptop with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 will be great for you that can let you play all your high-end games. If your budget allows you to upgrade your GPU, there can be no better than Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 VR ready graphics processor that will make your gaming very realistic and bright.

Display

The size of the display matters a lot when it comes to looking for a gaming laptop. Though it depends on your personal experience and the intended use of the laptop. However, for a gaming laptop, we wouldn’t recommend anything less than a 15-inch display. But you’ll also have to keep in mind that a larger display doesn’t offer you great portability as, which can be a deal-broker for many people. A laptop with a 17-inch display can be a great option for a desktop replacement.

If we talk about the visual experience of the display, then you should look for a display with a minimum of 75Hz refresh rate and at least 5ms response time. The display also depends on the types of games you’re planning to play. For instance, if you want to play a multi-player game like PUBG, then having a 144hz refresh rate is more important than a 4K display. In the case of single-player games, designed for 4K display, then a laptop with a 60Hz refresh rate display would perform better.

RAM

RAM is an essential part of a computer that defines the overall efficiency of handling multitasking on your PC. The bigger the RAM, fast the performance of your laptop, but it also increases the overall price too. RAM sizes can range from 2GB to 32GB. For a gaming laptop, you should consider at least 8GB RAM. If you are willing to pay a few extra bucks, the higher-capacity RAM is an excellent choice that will improve the performance of your laptop significantly.

Keyboard

Another important aspect of a gaming laptop is the keyboard quality. When A keyboard with a smooth and responsive experience can enhance your gaming level. You’ll need to ensure that your keyboard is fully customizable and offer RGB backlit feature too. Moreover, the anti-ghosting feature is an additional benefit that allows you to press several keys together to attain the ultimate gaming experience.

Audio

The audio quality also an important factor that buyers often overlook when purchasing a gaming laptop. Whether it’s single-player games or multiplayer ones, you need a splendid audio quality in order to achieve a realistic gaming experience. The gaming laptops with Dolby Audio Premium, TrueHarmony, and Bass Boost technology is a great choice to get a fantastic sound quality.

 

Final Words

These are some of the important factors you need to consider when looking for a gaming laptop. We hope this guide will help you to make the right decision for your needs. Do you have any experience with gaming laptops? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
