Gaming PCs or Gaming Laptops?
While both formats are very similar, contain the same core components and run on Windows 10 Home or Pro, there are certain differences between gaming PCs and gaming laptops:
Portable Gaming
Gaming laptops are lighter, compact and designed to be taken anywhere. Whether you’re meeting up with friends, want to game on holiday and complete other tasks away from a desk, a laptop is perfect for this. If there’s a LAN event near you, get your laptop and go!
Battery Life
The latest gaming laptops contain a powerful battery that can be used for hours of gaming at a time. It also means you can game wherever you are without being restricted by a plug.
Sustainability
Laptops are greener than gaming PCs because they use a lot less energy than desktops and will save you money on your electricity bill. Less materials are used, meaning you are doing your bit for the planet.
Upgrades
We’re not going to say that gaming laptops are more upgradeable than desktop PCs, but core components can be changed including RAM, SSD, HDD and DVD/Blu-ray optical drives. If you have a laptop running off a hard drive, an SSD would greatly benefit the speed.
Which Specs matter on a Gaming Laptop?
The best gaming laptops have a dedicated graphics card which you’ll find on most the range. With options including the cutting edge Nvidia GTX 1660Ti, RTX 2080 and more, you’ll find the gaming laptop to best match your budget.
CPU
Finding the right processing power for you is important for your gaming experience. As it’s difficult to upgrade your CPU in laptops, it’s vital that you make the right choice now. High performance processors such as Intel Core i7 or i9 or AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 are future proof for the next generation of gaming.
RAM
To play the latest games, you need a huge amount of RAM to store the game’s data while you play. Make sure you choose a gaming laptop with a good amount of high-speed RAM to maintain a steady framerate while in play.
Storage
A large storage is needed as the latest games tend to require installation of 40GB or more. For quicker loading times, a gaming laptop with an SSD will have you playing in no time at all. We stock laptops with an SSD alongside a HDD and hybrid SSD capacities.
Don’t forget to get all your gaming accessories to ensure you have everything you need for your gaming laptop.
