Gaming Laptops

Do you like playing video games? I like playing video games, and for some years, I've been using my Xbox One and my phone to play video games. I've been looking at video games to play and saw some excellent games on PC that are not on the console. Since then, I've always wanted to play video games in a gaming notebook, but gaming notebooks can be expensive. There are specific specs you need for some games you want to play. If you're planning to keep this laptop for years and get the most out of it, it's best to get the latest specs you can afford. What do you look for when buying a gaming notebook?

Hardware: If you want to play without lag. It's essential to consider getting a great processor and graphics card. For processors, I only trust Intel and AMD processors, preferably the latest one you can afford. For Intel processors, 10th generation or 11th generation processors would be preferable. For AMD, consider getting Ryzen. If you want a great graphics card, hands down, Nvidia is dominating the market. Nvidia Geforce RTX is always the best ones to get. RTX 20 series to RTX 3070 Ti will work wonders, but it will cost you more if you go higher than that.

Memory: RAM determines how quickly your computer will perform and how many tasks it can handle at once. A gaming laptop with more RAM and VRAM is generally more suitable for gaming. Preferably, it should be 8 - 16GB of RAM minimum and 4 - 8 GB for VRAM.

Display: If you have great hardware, you'd want a resolution and computer size that will work best with it. For gaming laptops, a full HD display with 1920x1080 resolution is the minimum requirement. Higher resolutions are available but cost a lot. For the screen size, I prefer 15 inches to a 17-inch screen.

Battery Life: Gaming can drain batteries very fast because it uses a lot of power. It is vital to know how long your battery can last, from full charge to low battery life. Also, how fast does it charge, and how long can the battery last till you need to replace it? Also if you can switch the batteries easily if you have an extra battery.

Adaptability: Games are getting better and better every year, and it's important that your gaming laptop can be customized if you decide to get better hardware or a higher RAM in the future.

Storage: Minimum is 512 Gigabytes, but for me, I prefer 1 Terabyte
