Choosing a good gaming laptop can be very complicated, because there are many things to take into account and we can easily end up feeling overwhelmed or carried away by criteria that are not as important as we thought. Last March, we shared with you a guide focused on buying a gaming laptop, which I recommend reading if you are thinking about buying a device of this type and have doubts that prevent you from making a decision.

In this guide, we have fairly clearly summarized the most important things that a good gaming laptop should have, even if in the end it depends on each user’s priorities and needs. For example, there are users who give absolute priority to performance and therefore prefer a very powerful gaming laptop, even if they have to give up good mobility and reasonable autonomy.

Continuing with the previous example, the opposite can also happen, that is, other users can have a preference more balanced teams which are able to advance current games at a good level of quality and fluidity, but maintain an acceptable weight and autonomy. The choice between one type of gaming laptop or another will ultimately determine what we can and cannot do, affect its lifespan and also have a noticeable impact on our user experience.

For example, think about what it would mean to buy it a very powerful 17.3-inch gaming laptop, but weighing 3 kilograms. You would enjoy good performance, but when moving you would give up the comfort and autonomy that a device weighing less than 2 kilos with less powerful components but more balanced in consumption would offer.

All of this easily leads us to ask a question that, frankly, I find very interesting, What should a good gaming laptop have? Obviously, the answer will vary depending on the goals and preferences of each type of user, so I encourage you to leave your thoughts in the comments.

In my case, I prefer balanced equipment with a maximum weight of two kilograms and a 15.6-inch format. Your processor doesn’t have to have eight cores, but you need a high-IPC processor, 16GB of memory, a mid-range graphics card like the GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, and Adaptive Sync technology.
