A gaming laptop is a laptop intended for home and office use (and not on the field). The house has high-end components, which can be used to play games or do other intensive tasks.

Tips to buying a Gaming laptop

1. When buying a gaming laptop, first consider if you actually need a gaming laptop. The main difference between an ordinary laptop and a gaming laptop is the graphics card present. There are other components on a gaming laptop that have more use on non-gaming applications such as RAM capacity, number of cores, and even storage capacity.

2. If you’re not going to be using it for intensive tasks such as 3D editing or rendering but instead, just playing games then don’t waste your money on getting high-end components such as the best graphics card there is (NVIDIA GTX 980M / 1080), multiples GB’s of VRAM and multiples RAm DIMMS (more than 8GB). Instead, focus on the core usage: play games; this is to get the most value for your money.

3. Budget, budget, budget!!! When it comes to buying something expensive like a laptop you must be willing to pay in order to get what you want. Think about how much cash you are willing to spend and what your maximum price range is. If there’s an affordable option in that price range then by all means snag it up! Of course, if not then the deal might just slip away… It pays off having a set budget when buying anything these days because of inflation making everything more expensive than usual (not just laptops).

4. Decide on the components that matter or don’t matter at all: Like mentioned earlier, when deciding on getting a gaming laptop ask yourself “do I really need it?” There are components available on gaming laptops that have more use in non-gaming scenarios. These components include RAM, CPU speed/cores, number of storage drives, and even the graphics card (if you’re not doing 3D rendering or editing).

5. Performance over Brand name: Before buying a particular laptop check out its performance first then compare it with other brands before deciding which brand to go for. The most important factor you should consider is “Will this perform well enough to fulfill my needs?”. Don’t just buy a brand because of its popularity and advertisements. The only thing that matters is whether or not the laptop can perform what it promises to do and nothing else!
