From no-compromises hardware to displays with high refresh rates, these laptops can do what many desktops PCs can do. The best part is that we\u2019ve put every single one of these laptops through a series of stress tests, so we\u2019ve got the numbers to back up our findings. Whether you\u2019re looking for the best 17-inch gaming laptop or the most portable machine, we\u2019ve got you covered. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n
[The best laptops: Premium laptops, budget laptops, 2-in-1s, and more]<\/p>\n
Updated 10\/12\/22<\/strong> To add a the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X as our pick for best ultraportable gaming laptop. Check out our review below for more information.<\/em><\/p>\n Also, be sure to take a look at our latest review of the Lenovo Slim 9i. This ultraportable boasts a brilliant 4K OLED screen, tons of RAM, and a solid processor. It\u2019s a bit expensive, and due to its size some ports are lacking, but everything else is exemplary.<\/em><\/p>\n Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Need some serious gaming power? The Razer Blade 17 (2022) will certainly deliver. Thanks to the Intel 12th-gen i7 CPU and a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU, this laptop is a top performer. In addition to excellent graphics performance, it also has a stunning 240Hz panel and a diverse selection of ports. That said, this top-tier configuration costs thousands of dollars. If you\u2019re willing to shell out the big bucks for the best of the best, then the Blade 17 is a phenomenal option. If you\u2019re on a more strict budget, check out the Asus VivoBook Pro 15 OLED blurb below. It\u2019s our best budget gaming laptop pick. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n The Alienware x15 R2 packs much of the same premium hardware as the Blade 17, but in a smaller 15-inch screen form factor. Despite it\u2019s smaller size, it can keep up with the best of them due to its 12th-gen Intel i7-12700H CPU and Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti GPU. It also has a beautiful QHD display and a futuristic Tron inspired lighting design. While it has a few quirks such as soldered RAM and hard-to-reach rear ports, these are ultimately dwarfed by other outstanding features.<\/p>\n Just like all high-end gaming laptops though, it doesn\u2019t come cheap. But for those who are able to afford the astronomical price tag, the Alienware x15 R2 will deliver an out-of-this-world experience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n The Asus VivoBook Pro 15 OLED offers reliable gaming performance at a reasonable price. According to our reviewer, this laptop is a great option for \u201cgaming, streaming, and day-to-day productivity.\u201d When the laptop ran the\u00a0Shadow of the Tomb Raider<\/em>\u00a0benchmark, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H\u00a0CPU\u00a0and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 (4GB GDDR6) GPU worked in tandem to hit 60 frames-per-second at 1080p on High graphics. The OLED panel is also delightful and battery life is shockingly good. There are a couple of caveats, though.<\/p>\n The design is a little boring and the port selection is not the best. You\u2019ll also need to drop down to Medium or High graphics when playing modern AAA games on the RTX 3050. Caveats aside if you\u2019re looking for reliable graphics performance on a lovely OLED panel, the VivoBook Pro 15 is where the party\u2019s at. If you don\u2019t mind trading in those beautiful OLED visuals for a bit more graphics firepower, you should take a look at the Acer Swift X below.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in more budget gaming laptop recommendations, be sure to check out our picks for the best gaming laptops under $1,500 and the best gaming laptops under $1,000.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMSRP:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span> The ROG Zephyrus G14 is both lightweight and powerful. It weighs just a little over three pounds, which makes it a capable traveling laptop. Between the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor and AMD Radeon RX6800S GPU, you can expect strong performance as well. The only weakness is the keyboard, which our tester describes as \u201cmeh.\u201d It feels a little mushy and the backlighting is rather unimpressive. That said, if you\u2019re in the market for a portable laptop that delivers zippy performance, the Zephyrus G14 is a great pick.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n From solid performance to a decent display, the HP Victus 16 is a well rounded option for most people. The large, 16-inch screen has a 1080p resolution and a high refresh rate of 144Hz. The keyboard is really comfortable, too. In our review, the tester was \u201chappy to use the keyboard on a long-term basis.\u201d HP even squeezed in a number pad, which is perfect for gamers. Although this laptop has a lot to offer, it isn\u2019t the sexiest-looking laptop in the world. But if you can live with the plain design, the Victus 16 is a good choice. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever wanted to game on a tablet, then you\u2019re in luck. The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a folio-style gaming machine, which is one of the most bizarre sentences I\u2019ll ever type. You can expect strong GPU and CPU performance in a tiny package. The tablet itself weighs about 2.61 lbs, which is pretty darn lightweight for something you can reliably game on. The 1200p IPS display produces sharp, vibrant images as well. That said, it\u2019s very expensive and the detachable keyboard isn\u2019t great for gaming. If you\u2019ve got a big budget and can plug into an external keyboard, then the Flow Z13 is well worth it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n Lenovo\u2019s Legion 5 Pro is not only packed with ports, but it also delivers impressive game performance. It sports a 12th-gen Intel processor and somehow manages to fit an RTX 3070 Ti GPU into its slim design. But where this laptop really shines is its incredible array of ports. It has a Thunderbolt 4\/USB-C 4 port, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an ethernet port\u2014oh, and it also somehow finds room for a 3.5mm audio jack, too. The only complaint we had was that the display can lack vividness and contrast mainly due to its lackluster color profile. However, as far as connectivity and price-to-performance, there aren\u2019t many better options than the Legion 5 Pro.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRead our full Pros<\/p>\n Cons<\/p>\n The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X is an ultraportable with great performance. The Core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage are excellent and it includes a GeForce RTX 3050 so you can play all of your favorite games at decent settings. It may not be able to handle the ultra ray-tracing settings, but what you give up in graphics, you gain in portability. Weighing in at just over 3 pounds, with a 14.5-inch screen, the Slim Pro X makes it easy to travel and game on the go. Just one thing, our reviewer noted that it does have a rather short battery life, so you may want to bring that charger with you just in case.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The PCWorld team puts each and every Windows laptop through a series of benchmarks that test GPU and CPU performance, battery life, and so on. The idea is to push the laptop to its limits and then compare it against others we\u2019ve tested. Below, you\u2019ll find a breakdown of each test and the reasons why we run them:<\/p>\n The MSI GS63VR features a 4K resolution panel but not enough GPU to really drive it for today\u2019s games.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n When you buy a gaming laptop, one of the most important decisions you\u2019ll need to make regards the screen. After all, what you get on day one is what you\u2019re stuck with until you junk the device. You could run an external monitor but then, what\u2019s the point of a laptop?<\/p>\n The size of the screen dictates the size of the laptop itself, and thus weight. You can\u2019t, for example, get a 17-inch gaming laptop that\u2019s four pounds (although MSI\u2019s excellent GS75 gets awfully damned close at five), so think long and hard about whether you\u2019re willing to take the weight penalty in exchange for the screen real estate.<\/p>\n If the laptop is going to be your only gaming machine, having a 17-inch screen might be ideal. We should also add that a 17.3-inch screen is easier on weaker eyes than a 15.5-inch screen. This is very much a matter of personal preference.<\/p>\n The buzzword today is \u201c4K.\u201d That high resolution delivers sharper photo viewing and more space for video editing, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s for everyone. Anything not using the panel\u2019s native resolution of 3840\u00d72180, such as games running at lower-than-4K resolution, won\u2019t look quite as sharp unless you exponentially increase the graphics power of the laptop.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re running at 1920\u00d71080 resolution because your GPU can\u2019t hit 60 fps at 4K, that feature is moot. For many gamers, 1920\u00d71080 (1080p) or 2560\u00d71440 (1440p) is more optimal.<\/p>\n The panel technology is also a key feature. IPS (in-plane switching) generally produces much greater color accuracy and superior off-axis viewing, but tends to lag in response times, which can lead to blurring. TN (twisted nematic) panels can offer far higher refresh rates and usually better response times than IPS, but can look washed out or just blah.<\/p>\n A middle-ground technology that\u2019s appearing more often is VA (vertical alignment). VA is sometimes alternately referred to as \u201cwide viewing angle\u201d technology. (Many assume this to spec to be IPS, but it\u2019s not). In our experience, we\u2019ve found VA panels to run the gamut from being worthy competitors to IPS to being worse than the better TN panels.<\/p>\n Generally, if color accuracy is important, go IPS (a trademark of Sharp), and if you want the fastest response times go for a gaming-oriented TN panel. With the variability of VA, we recommend you check feedback from reviewers and users of a particular model.<\/p>\n The wildcard in all this is OLED. OLED-based panels have been used in phones for years but have recently migrated to larger screens in laptops. IPS, TN, and VA all use LEDs behind the screen or along the edges. \u201cBlack\u201d is produced by a shutter-like mechanism that blocks light from coming through. As you can imagine, there\u2019s usually some light leakage, which means the black tends to be gray.<\/p>\n OLED panels don\u2019t rely on edge- or backlighting. Instead, each pixel generates its own light. To produce black, it just switches off the light. This amounts to truly stunning contrast ratios and vibrant colors. OLEDs also boast fantastic response times.<\/p>\n The negatives include smaller screen sizes (we haven\u2019t seen anything larger than 15.6 inches yet), higher cost, and lack of support for variable refresh rate.\u00a0OLED panels can also use more power than conventional methods if the image is on a white background.<\/p>\n Okay, we called this section G-Sync and FreeSync, but the reality is, when it comes to beefy gaming laptops, it\u2019s a GeForce GPU world. And that means it\u2019s a G-Sync world. In a nutshell, Nvidia and AMD\u2019s respective variable-refresh-rate technologies help synchronize the monitor and the GPU to greatly reduce screen tearing. Variable refresh rates can make gaming at 40 fps far smoother to your eyes than a screen without it.<\/p>\n The first variable-refresh-rate panels for laptops maxed out at 75Hz, only marginally better than the standard 60Hz. More recently, we\u2019ve begun to see laptop panels that can push 120Hz, 144Hz and even 240Hz.\u00a0This generally means smoother and sharper gaming to your eyes. It even helps smooth out everyday tasks such as scrolling a browser page or Word document.<\/p>\n The downside of high-refresh rate panels is the technology it\u2019s available on: TN. As we said earlier, TN generally looks less vibrant and less accurate than IPS. The off-axis view is generally inferior, too.\u00a0You\u2019ll also need a far more powerful GPU to feed that high-refresh rate monitor at its native resolution.<\/p>\n One last very important note: G-Sync screens have to be connected directly to the laptop\u2019s discrete GPU, which means a large hit in battery life. In most laptops without G-Sync, the Intel integrated graphics is connected directly to the screen, so the GPU can be turned off when not being used. So while G-Sync is beautiful to behold, the cost in battery life is huge.<\/p>\n Which is right for you? If it\u2019s primarily a gaming laptop\u2014go for a high refresh rate and G-Sync (or FreeSync, if you can find a laptop that supports it with a Radeon GPU). If you tend to also push pixels in Photoshop or do any color-critical work, skip variable refresh for an IPS panel.<\/p>\n A new trend in gaming laptops is the offset trackpad, which is more conducive to gaming than a dead-center trackpad. The concept is sound, but anyone who actually cares about PC gaming will just plug in a mouse. The worst thing about that offset trackpad is when you try to use it for non-gaming purposes.<\/p>\n As far as keyboards go, the most important gaming feature is n-key rollover. This means the keyboard physically scans each key separately. If you wanted to, you could press 20 keys simultaneously and they\u2019d all register, as each is independently wired. That probably sounds excessive, but keyboards that lack this feature can suffer missed keystrokes, which both ruins gameplay and hurts in everyday tasks. Anyone who\u2019s used an Adobe product that might require a left-Alt, left-Shift, left-Ctrl plus two more keys to do something may have run into the limitations of non-n-key keyboards.<\/p>\n Other keyboard considerations include LED backlighting (which adds ambiance but does nothing for gameplay) and mechanical keys vs. membrane. Mechanical keys are excellent\u2014but are available on only a handful of laptops that usually weigh a ton. We have seen a few designs with low-profile mechanical keyboards, but even we admit they can be an acquired taste.<\/p>\n With the massive size of today\u2019s games, make sure the SSD in your laptop is large enough.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Having your games load from an SSD instead of a hard drive significantly cuts down on load times. But beyond that, we haven\u2019t found it to matter that much whether it\u2019s a super-fast NVMe PCIe drive or a slower SATA SSD.<\/p>\n What does matter more today is the size of the SSD rather than the interface it uses. With games now topping 50GB and some touching 100GBs, a once-spacious 256GB SSD will feel too small with just four games installed.<\/p>\n So when spec\u2019ing out that gaming laptop, be mindful of just how much total storage you have. If you go for laptop with a small SSD and large hard drive combo, expect to install your games to the hard drive. If the laptop will have an SSD only, choose an absolute minimum of 512GB, with 1TB preferred.<\/p>\n When laptop makers spec out gaming laptops, one of the levers they use to try to convince you to buy their product is upping the amount of RAM. It\u2019s not hard to find gaming laptops with \u201cupgraded\u201d configurations that go from 16GB of DDR4 to 32GB.<\/p>\n While having an adequate amount of RAM is important for gaming, today\u2019s games typically top out at 16GB of RAM, and sometimes can run fine with just 8GB of RAM. Anything more than 16GB (our standard recommendation) is usually a waste of money.<\/p>\n You might want to blame laptop and PC makers for cynically using an erroneous spec to manipulate the public, but the blame actually lies with the average buyer. PC makers have told us for years they only over-spec RAM because the public thinks more is better.<\/p>\n Besides the amount of memory, a couple of other important, but not critical, questions to ask is what clock speed and what mode. Modern CPUs let you run RAM in sets to increase the memory bandwidth.\u00a0<\/p>\n More memory bandwidth immediately helps laptops that are running integrated graphics, but the conventional wisdom has long been that discrete GPUs in laptops don\u2019t benefit as much because they have their own dedicated, much faster GDDR5 RAM to use. That\u2019s typically the case, but the performance of today\u2019s GPUs and CPUs can make this conventional wisdom wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n Gaming performance is often about a balance between the CPU and the GPU, and how graphically intensive a game is. With games that are graphically intensive, the GPU is the primary bottleneck on performance. Play a game that isn\u2019t graphically intense, though, and the CPU can rapidly become the bottleneck on performance.<\/p>\n With the power of today\u2019s GPUs, a lot of games, especially at a sedate resolution of 1920\u00d71080, have shifted more performance to the CPU.\u00a0The reason we\u2019re talking about this now is if you rob the CPU of memory bandwidth, even a decently fast one, you can take a sizable hit in gaming performance.<\/p>\n The basic lesson is you should opt for dual-channel memory bandwidth configurations when possible. On a laptop spec sheet, you typically would see this expressed as \u201cdual-channel\u201d or \u201c2 x 8\u201d to indicate that two 8GB memory modules were used in a laptop.<\/p>\n Some laptop makers will express memory in clock speed, so you\u2019ll see \u201cDDR4\/2,133 or DDR4\/2,400.\u201d While a higher memory clock does increase memory bandwidth, the impact isn\u2019t quite as great as going from dual-channel to single-channel mode.<\/p>\n How many cores do you need in a gaming laptop? For most people on a budget, a 4-core CPU with Hyper-Threading will function just fine in most games, especially when combined with a lower-cost and lower performance GPU.<\/p>\n Still, if you have the extra cash, a 6-core CPU with Hyper-Threading is likely the sweet spot for today and tomorrow. If you plan to stream your gaming live or edit it, investing in a 6-core is recommended.<\/p>\n Intel and AMD\u2019s top-end 8-core CPUs will deliver the greatest benefit to those who might do other graphics-intensive tasks, such as 3D animation or video editing. If you also plan to record and stream video, the 8-core will offer a performance benefit there, too.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re thinking, great, let me buy a 4-core Core i5 or Ryzen 5 CPU with a luxury laptop to save money, you usually can\u2019t, because PC makers typically only offer budget CPUs with other budget parts. Why? Well, most budget shoppers can\u2019t afford any luxury items, and most PC makers like to add in the extras to increase the profit.<\/p>\n The single most important piece of hardware in a gaming laptop is undoubtedly the GPU. For AMD fans, the situation is as sad as it is in CPUs: It\u2019s an Nvidia GeForce world.\u00a0As with CPUs though, the good news is that the dominating products are top-notch.<\/p>\n The hardest part will be deciding just how much GPU you need. Our general guidance is to buy as fast a GPU as you can afford and are willing to heft. Generally, the faster the GPU (or GPUs), the larger and heavier the laptop. If you\u2019re talking about playing on a higher-resolution panel of 2560\u00d71440 at high-refresh rates, then keep increasing the amount of money spent on the GPU.<\/p>\n The Acer Predator Triton 500 features an 8th gen Core i7-8750H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU along with 16GB of dual-channel RAM and 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n The last category you should think about is the burgeoning support for external graphics in gaming laptops. Customers of Alienware have long enjoyed this with its relatively inexpensive (and proprietary) Graphics Amplifier technology, but many new laptops support external graphics cabinets using Thunderbolt 3.<\/p>\n These cabinets let you plug your laptop into a more powerful discrete GPU. The\u00a0Akitio Node\u00a0(which you can find on Amazon for $300) is one such Thunderbolt 3 cabinet that\u2019s helped usher in lower prices. Although external graphics are primarily desired by users who run on integrated graphics, a gaming laptop with Thunderbolt 3 support could come in handy when the GPU inside gets too old to play the latest games.<\/p>\n The last topic we\u2019ll cover is battery life. The best way to understand battery life on a gaming laptop is to accept that it\u2019ll be horrible for all things gaming.<\/p>\n The minute you crank up a GPU on a gaming laptop to play a game, you\u2019re basically limiting yourself to an hour or an hour and a half of battery runtime. Period. And in some cases, far less than that.<\/p>\n The only reason to consider battery life on a gaming laptop is if you want to use your laptop unplugged for non-gaming purposes. In that respect, you\u2019ll find a lot of variance, with some\u2014such as Gigabyte\u2019s Aero 15\u2014offering decent battery life, albeit with a trade-off in gaming performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Are you looking for a new gaming laptop to play all of your favorite triple-A titles on?
