The early gaming laptops were largely desktop replacements: clunky chassis, multiple power bricks, and RGB lighting galore. But the top contenders now are different. Manufacturers are finally putting powerful specs into thin gaming machines: sleeker, more portable, and more professional builds. They have excellent, fast refreshing screens that are necessary for a great gaming experience. These laptops aren\u2019t just great for gaming but for everyday work as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The best gaming laptop of 2023 is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14<\/a>. It can handle the most demanding games on the market today, it\u2019s portable, and it also makes a great daily driver. Other good options are the Razer Blade 16 and the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One more thing to keep in mind is the power you can expect. Not all chips with the same name are created equal \u2014 the RTX 4070 in one laptop may not deliver the same frame rates as the RTX 4070 in another laptop due to its wattage (as well as other factors like the processor and cooling). Nvidia now requires companies to disclose clock speeds and graphics power on each model\u2019s product page, but plenty of manufacturers haven\u2019t done that yet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Out of the many gaming laptops we test each year, here are the ones that make the list. If you\u2019re looking for a more multipurpose device, check out our best laptop<\/a> page. If you\u2019re an Android gamer, we\u2019ve also got a list of the best Chromebooks<\/a> you can buy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What we\u2019re looking for<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Value<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Gaming laptops are expensive overall, but we\u2019re still looking for devices that offer great value for their asking price. The more expensive a device, the more exceptional it has to be to make it on here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frame rates<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n

We like gaming laptops that can run the latest and greatest titles at their highest settings, without requiring any compromises to quality or resolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Screen<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n

We like high resolutions that make games look vivid, and we like high refresh rates that can showcase the full power of a gaming laptop\u2019s chips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Port selection <\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Laptops with very few ports are okay in some categories, but not on this page. Gamers often need to plug peripherals like mice, keyboards, and monitors into their devices. We expect the best gaming laptops to accommodate them. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Storage<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Gaming laptops need more storage than other PC categories, since games take up a lot of space. At least 512GB is a must; at least 1TB is ideal. But gaming laptops almost always have accessible M.2 slots, so you can usually upgrade down the line if you need to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
