Looking back...
5 years ago, it was nearly impossible to get a portable gaming laptop at an affordable price. Today a lot has changed as you can get a lighter, slimmer, and speedy gaming PC at an affordable price. Whether you want a flagship gaming laptop capable of a 4K display or a generic one with a 1080p display, you can have it.
While having a top-on-the-line model is cool for a quality gaming experience, you can sacrifice a little power, save some cash and still play your favorite games. In a quest to achieve portability, some models have compromised on performance to allow you to move around with your gaming PC.
During the Consumer Electronics Show held between 5th January and 8th January 2022, Intel, NVIDIA and AMD highlighted a number of components that will enhance gaming technology in 2022.
In this article, I have gathered the best gaming laptop options to choose from in 2022 and included unerring tips on how to buy the right one for your gaming needs. Take a look.
How to choose the best gaming laptop for you?
It is pretty easy to choose the right gaming system if you have a fat purse, but it is a whole different story when you have a limited budget. Fortunately, the market is flooded with affordable gaming PCs to meet both your gaming needs and budget demands. The latest products such as the Intel Comet Lake, AMD big Navi, NVIDIA RTX 3000 models are cheaper than ever yet they have high-performance capabilities.
Notably, some models are more affordable than others. It is no secret that AMD gaming PCs are cheaper than other models.As far as the graphics card is concerned, NVIDIA is still ranked on top, however, the RTX you choose depends on your desired gaming experience. For instance, the RTX 3060 is powerful for 1080p gaming while the RTX 3070 or higher is appropriate for 4K gaming.
The RAM is also a pivotal feature to consider when choosing a gaming PC. Today, most laptops come with 8GB DDR RAM – it is essentially the minimum memory for a gaming PC. Nevertheless, you need 16GB of memory to have a smooth gaming experience when playing AAA titles.
Moreover, you should look at other aspects such as storage size, display, number, and type of ports. You may also want to look at the battery capacity if you plan on gaming while on transit. It is important to note that just because a gaming laptop is a premium, it doesn’t mean it has long battery life.
Whatever features you like in your gaming laptop, I assure you that your favorite gaming PC is part of these 10 picks. Stay with me.
