These are the two main components that determine how well your laptop can run games. For casual gaming, mid-range CPU and GPU such as an Intel Core i5 and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 are enough. But for competitive gaming or streaming, you’ll need more powerful CPU and GPU such as an Intel Core i7 and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080.
Look for a laptop with an NVMe SSD, which is much faster than a traditional HDD or SATA SSD. You’ll want at least 512GB of storage space.
Look for a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM, but preferably 16GB or more. RAM is easy to upgrade later if needed.
Look for a display with a high resolution, a high refresh rate, and a low response time. A high resolution, high refresh rate, and low response time will make your games look sharper, smoother, and more responsive.
Choose a laptop with a good cooling system to keep it cool and quiet while gaming. Look for a laptop with multiple fans, heat pipes, vents, and thermal paste. You can also use a cooling pad or an external fan to help with the cooling.
