What to look for in a gaming laptop

Not all PC gamers are the same. Some just want a budget laptop to lug around as a backup to their homebound setup. Others want a higher-end device that could take on beefier games that demand more resources. All gaming laptops have at least these five points to consider:

Display - How big do you want your laptop to be? Also, what screen resolution do you want? Refresh rate - Some claim refresh rate barely matters, and some claim that it’s the difference in landing a headshot. CPU - CPUs manage your system behind-the-scenes to make sure it’s running smoothly. Newer models can handle more strain and juggle more threads. GPU - Graphics cards enable users to more efficiently run graphically demanding games that wouldn’t be as beautiful without them. Storage - Games, videos, and other large files saturate storage. It’s less necessary to be mindful of space when there’s plenty of it.

Here’s a handpicked selection of gaming laptops with varying specs and discounts to meet your specific needs.
