Almost all of us have a habit of playing games on the computer whether it is desktop or laptop computer. However, the experience of playing games on all these ordinary computers we use is not very enjoyable. Because in order to play games, some parts of the computer like graphics card, RAM, computer storage need to be very good.

That’s why there are separate gaming desktop and laptop computers for those who only want to use computers for playing games. Desktop computers are much more commonly used for playing games than laptops.

However, there are now a lot of good quality and high-capacity laptops that do not match the desktop, but the experience of playing almost the same kind of game. In addition, many gamers are now inclined to buy gaming laptops because of their easy portability.

Since the price of a gaming laptop is much higher than that of a normal laptop, there are some things to keep in mind while buying a gaming laptop. Desktop computer components have to be purchased separately, but buying a gaming laptop means buying a whole computer at once, many parts of which cannot be changed later. So here are some important things to keep in mind.

GPU

GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. Its name implies what it does and how important it is to play games. Because all games rely heavily on graphics. GPU’s job is to process all the graphics related units in the computer. So if the GPU is not of good quality then you will have difficulty in playing games.

Currently most laptops use Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX GPU. Another GPU maker has not yet become popular for AMD’s GPU laptops. So at the time of purchase, you must buy the GPU of Nvidia company. Since not all games use the same amount of graphics, you can choose the GPU based on the game.

GTX 1650 is enough to play elementary level games. With it you can play almost all elementary level games. You can make your GPU even more powerful by using the GTX 1660 nearby. However, Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2060 GPU is required for playing medium quality high performance games.

You need to use RTX 2070 model GPU to play any kind of high performance game. With it you can play VR technology rich games. However, if you want to play all the games with special graphics effects and VR technology effortlessly, the GTU of RTX 2080 or RTX 2080 Ti model is best.

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

GPU quality must be much better than CPU for gaming laptops or computers. So buy the best GPU in your budget and then look at the CPU. You choose the CPU depending on your budget, but make sure it is at least a Core i5 processor. With it you can play almost all the quality games well.

There are currently many laptops that have a desktop computer CPU. So if you have the budget, you can buy Core i7 or Core i9-8950HK model CPU. Usually the CPU of the laptop cannot be updated so you have to think a little while buying.

Radham

After the graphics card, RAM is the most important device for gaming laptops. Because if the speed of the computer is not good then playing games is almost impossible. That’s why most gaming laptops have at least 8 GB of RAM. But keep in mind that 6 GB is normal for gaming laptops, if it is within the budget then 16 GB RAM should be used. Then you can play any kind of game on your laptop.

Laptops that have a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti model GPU usually have 8 GB of RAM but higher capacity GPUs such as the GTX 1060 model or higher have 16 GB of RAM. However, the good thing is that RAM can be upgraded very easily, so now if it is not possible to install 16 GB, then it can be started with 8 GB.

Battery

Many people prefer laptops to desktops because they are easy to carry. But to be honest, gaming laptops can’t provide battery support for a long time, so you can’t move the laptop too much to play games.

The GPU will not be able to use its full power if you do not plug in while playing the game. Again, if you continue to play games without plugs, then the laptop will run for 1-2 hours if too much. So even if you don’t think too much about the battery, it is better to focus on other parts.

Since gaming laptops are quite expensive, you should buy a laptop that you can use for at least a few years. So if you can afford it you can buy NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 model GPU because it allows you to play basic level virtual reality games.

The better the graphics card, the better the gaming experience. As mentioned earlier Gaming laptops GPU is much more important than RAM and CPU. Computer storage also needs to be checked because the game takes up a lot more space than other software, but you can easily increase the storage later. Hopefully, considering the above, you will be able to choose a good laptop for playing games.
