5 Best Gaming Laptops

Best Features - Alienware M15 R3

Built robust this machine is packed with all the latest components, starting at the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics card. The processor is the 10th-gen Intel Core i7, RAM is at 16GB and storage is an SSD of 1TB capacity. The design is sleek and the finish is premium, with an RGB halo on the back and an RGB keyboard as well. At 15 inches the display is 4K OLED, meaning the pixel density is very high making for very crisp visuals. Cooling is much improved with copper pipes, vapour chambers and larger fans. The Alienware M15 R3 has 3 SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a MicroSD card reader, HDMI 2.0b, a Mini-Display port and USB-C with Thunderbolt 3. All this and 5 hours of battery life packed into this beautiful machine. Given the performance and build of this laptop as well as the brand, this is an expensive choice.

Best Display - Acer Predator Triton 500

The Predator Triton 500 is an absolute beast when it comes to the display, it has a 15.6-inch 1080p screen and this is not that impressive perhaps but it has a refresh rate of 300Hz which is insane fast. This would make the graphics super smooth, giving users the ultimate visual treat. This display is powered by a monster GPU as well, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 allowing it to handle the latest AAA games at high settings. Processing is handled by the Intel 10th Gen Core i7 adding even more power to the performance. The design is slim, has all the needed ports for peripherals and one would not expect such power from it. This is a high-end machine with a premium grade finish and a price to match.

Best High-End - Razer Blade Pro 17

The Razer brand is apex when it comes to gaming machines, it is what a MacBook Pro would look like if it got into the gaming segment. A slim design with a minimal feel and packed with a host of features. The display on this machine is touch-capable, it is at 17-inches with a minimal bezel and has a refresh rate of 120Hz. This screen is powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q Studio Edition; which can cut through the heaviest games with ease. The processor is also powerful; the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10875H 8-core. The clock speed for the processor is at 2.3GHz but Turbo Boost speeds it up to 5.1GHz; giving one a lot of extra power in case they need it. There is 16GB of DDR4 RAM with all this; providing one with oodles of tasking power. This machine can be used for gaming and any other kind of heavy task you can think of. Razer has included all the needed ports so you can connect to a varied array of peripherals. For the keyboard, Razer has incorporated Razer Chroma; their RGB lighting system. This is a very expensive machine, the price being for the power it packs in this size and its build quality.

Most Affordable - Dell G3 15

Gaming is an expensive hobby when it comes to the laptops needed to play the latest games. Finding something in the affordable range is difficult but Dell has this market segment covered as well. The Dell G3 15 is the most affordable option one can check out for their gaming needs. It is powered by the 10th Generation Intel Core i5-10300H and has the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 for graphics processing. RAM is at 8GB DDR4 and the hard drive is a 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD. All these are pretty decent components for one's gaming. The display on this laptop is at 15 inches and is FHD, on top of this it has a refresh rate of 120Hz. The port range has full options so one can connect whatever peripherals they need to. The thing lacking with this machine is that its colour representation is not as accurate in comparison to more expensive gaming laptops.

Best Overall - Asus Rog Zephyrus G14

This gaming laptop is on most of the lists one can find online as one of the best options to purchase. The Asus Rog Zephyrus G14 sits in the mid ranges as far as gaming machines go but has impressive specs given that. Design-wise it is a very sleek looking machine. The only laptop on this list that is powered by AMD instead of Intel, this machine has the Ryzen 9 4900HS processor at the centre and the Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics card. The RAM is at 8GB and is the high performing DDR4 variant. The display is also good on this laptop, with a refresh rate of 120Hz and FHD visuals. The Rog Zephyrus G14 even has a lot of storage space that is fast operating, this is a 1TB drive that is an M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD. The keyboard is snappy with a backlight and this machine also has all the ports one needs for their gaming peripherals. It features G-Sync as well which keeps the refresh rate and GPU locked in tight. This is a great balance between price, power, portability and design.
