Gaming laptops are specialized personal computers specifically designed for gaming. gaming laptops usually differ significantly from regular gaming computers by making use of high-speed dual core processors and high-bandwidth graphics cards that sacrificing processor speed and power efficiency in exchange for raw graphic performance. For those looking to purchase a gaming laptop, knowing the features and specifications of such a machine is key in order to make an informed decision as to which one is best for gaming.
The most important, and therefore expensive, feature of a gaming laptop is the graphics card. Most laptop manufacturers still opt for a relatively traditional card rather than a newer and more advanced one such as a Nvidia Maxwell series. For many, having a powerful graphics card is the main reason to purchase a laptop rather than a desktop replacement. However, if you plan to play games on a laptop, you will also need to consider the laptop’s processing speed since the graphics cards on these machines are typically not as powerful as their graphics card counterparts on desktops. Some gamers have found that investing in a high end graphics card by itself may actually be unnecessary, as a better option may be to purchase an external card to attach to the internal one.
Another important aspect to consider when purchasing a laptop for gaming is the processor speed; laptops have become quite efficient in the past few years, but there are always some users who still prefer to stick with older is because of their strong processor power and lower temperatures. Of course, this all depends on personal preference, but many gamers tend to stick with the same as they are comfortable with, or even go with quad-core processors and large RAMs that can run up to two teraflores. Those looking to purchase gaming laptops will also want to consider additional features such as memory, hard drive size, and screen size. Some gamers will opt for larger, higher resolution screens while others will go with compact, lighter screens in order to fit in their vehicle.
