What to Look for in a Gaming Laptop
Picking the right gaming laptop comes down to a few key bits. The graphics card (GPU) does the heavy lifting for visuals, so look for something like high performance model if you're keen on smooth gameplay and ray tracing.
Pair that with a solid processor, at least 16GB of RAM, and a fast SSD for quick load times. Refresh rates of 144Hz or higher make a noticeable difference too, especially in fast-paced shooters.
