A Gaming Laptop Is Not Always The Best Way To Play Computer Games


By Matthew Kerridge

Most of us would be surprised if someone told us that the gaming laptop is not the best way to enjoy playing games on a computer. However, if you wish to play computer games while you are on the move then there is no other option than to purchase a laptop.

What's more, when it comes to picking the right laptop you will have many choices to make which in turn will require that you shop about and compare a variety of laptops before settling on one that provides true gaming experience at most affordable prices.

The first thing that you will need to do is find out how you can save your money and affect a gaming laptop purchase that is affordable to you and which offers superior gaming as well. You must look at every option and of course don't overlook checking out refurbished laptops as well as used ones though buying a laptop at discounted prices too is a worthwhile option.

The most important aspects to picking the ideal laptop for your gaming needs include having a quick CPU, plenty of RAM as well as wireless cards and also a quick graphics processing unit or GPU that must have a memory of its own.

Having a fast CPU is of course an essential requirement but so too is having a lot of memory and then you need to look for a wireless card and a very fast GPU or graphics processing unit that has its own memory. In addition, you must look for a laptop that has a nice pair of speakers and which also comes with its own joystick. Furthermore, you will do well to ensure that the laptop has a CD or even DVD player/recorder. And, minimum hard disk capacity is 200 GB.

Furthermore, when it comes to picking the right laptop for your gaming needs be sure to opt for multi-core processors instead of single core processors - even though the latter perform much faster. However, the former will give you a better gaming experience. And, also ensure that your gaming laptop has sufficient DDR2 as well as DDR3 SDRAM that will make your laptop more responsive.

For mobile gaming there is no better option than to pick a powerful laptop.
