Key factors for choosing your gaming laptop
When choosing a new gaming laptop, it's essential to understand the specifications and features available and match these to your gaming needs.
For example, a computer with insufficient computational or graphical processing power will result in lacklustre performance and a frustrating gaming experience.
However, too much performance will mean spending hard-earned money on a capability that will not get used. Instead, you could spend that money on gaming accessories such as a surround sound headset or gaming mouse.

Processor options
The central processor handles the computational processing that games need to operate. A simplified rule of thumb is that the greater the number of cores and the higher the clock frequency, the faster the processor calculates.
Another factor is the size and speed of the cache memory within the processor; the greater the size and faster the clock speed, the better the performance.
Our gaming laptops are available with a range of Intel® and AMD processors to offer performance options:
Another factor is the size and speed of the cache memory within the processor; the greater the size and faster the clock speed, the better the performance.
Our gaming laptops are available with a range of Intel® and AMD processors to offer performance options:
- The Intel Core™ i9 and AMD Ryzen™ 9 processors offer the most outstanding performance but with the greatest price tag.
- The Intel Core i7 and AMD Ryzen 7 typically offer the performance needed for the very latest immersive gaming.
- The Intel Core i5 and AMD Ryzen 5 will perform well on older games but may require compromises in settings for the latest games.
- The Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 are best suited for less demanding non-immersive games.
Graphics card options
The graphics processor handles the visual processing that games need to deliver realism and immersion in their visual effects. For everyday computers, the central processor will also manage the graphics processing. However, gaming needs a separate dedicated graphics processor to handle the demanding display needs.
The best gaming laptops use a dedicated graphics card to render complex displays at superfast speeds. Our gaming laptops come with a dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce or AMD Radeon™ graphics card, depending on the computer's central processor. Both offer exceptional performance across their ranges.
Like the central processor, graphics cards are available with various performance options. Again, the key factors are the same, the number of processing cores, the clock speed, the inbuilt cache memory and the different product evolutions all impact capability.

Display
Our gaming laptops are available with various screen sizes and display resolutions.
The best gaming experience comes with a screen between 15-inch and 17-inch in size. These screen sizes are the diagonal length from one corner to the opposite corner. Generally, the larger the screen, the more immersive the playing experience.
The display resolution is a measure of the quality of the display; the bigger the resolution, the more detail the screen can display. The best resolution will depend on your graphics card, and if the resolution is too large for the card, then the images will lose their smoothness and quality. This consideration is crucial if you want to connect an external gaming monitor to your laptop.

Memory
Laptops come with dynamic and static memory in the form of RAM and solid-state drives (SSD). The critical criteria to look for are memory size and access speeds. There's no point in having excess memory if it's significantly slower than the processor accessing it. A benefit of choosing one of our gaming laptops is that you can be sure that the memory specifications will match the central processor's specifications.
The specifications of the games you play will determine the amount of each memory type you need. Typically the more memory you have, the better the gaming experience.
