Gaming Laptops

Not any more, with the price drop in memory and technology advancements mainly in scaling down in size of most pc and laptop parts there is now no need to have the clunky desktop gaming machine, of course some of them look fantastic but finding room is often an issue, I know it is for me.

So how do you decide on which gaming laptop to go for, do you really need something like the Rock Xtreme SL Pro at around the $4,500 mark, obviously not in all cases, but it does depend on the games you play. I often find this helps you to find the best laptops that suit your needs. A great rule of thumb is to check out the requirements of the latest game released in the category that you usually play. There are 2 sets of requirements, minimum and recommended, look at the recommended spec and use this as the minimum spec for your laptop, this will usually future proof as much as possible without costing you too much extra by heading straight to the top of the range.

There are some great gaming laptops out there ranging from the awesome Alienware range, but if the $5000ish price tag puts you off, then why not look at a gaming laptop like the MSI GT735, less than half the price of the Alienware m15x but still a great spec with a massive 4GB of RAM.
