Gaming Laptops have been increasing in popularity over the last year. With the advent of dual core processors from Intel and faster mobile graphics cards from the likes of Nvidia and ATi the performance gap is closing between laptops and desktops. Another thing responsible for this over the last year have been the ability to have up to 4GB ram in a laptop computer and the biggest notebook hard drive currently being 500GB. Laptops are quickly becoming true desktop replacements now.
One of the major issues for gamers is that portability is key and the gaming laptops of the past have all been rather big and beastly. Even today if you want the best performance gaming laptop you would be looking to buy a 17” system. Things are changing though. Alienware have shown you can get an 8800M GTX card in to a 15.4” chassis and Clevo are also set to release the M860TU 15.4” gaming laptop to other OEM’s when Intel Centrino 2 technology arrives in a couple of months. Things are headed it the right direction.
Early adopters are always willing to pay the price premiums for all of the latest technology but cheap laptops don’t really exist in the gaming world. What does exist is value for money. Tier 1 brands will always have price premiums for gaming laptops because to them it’s just a small piece of a puzzle. Other specialist companies such as Rizeon who focus on solely providing high performance laptops usually offer better value for money and service as it’s their bread and butter. Companies like this usually offer custom laptops built to your specification using high quality components.
For gaming laptops the main 3 components to compare are usually the processor, ram and graphics card. The processor should be dual core such as the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with speeds of 2GHz or above. The minimum amount of ram needs is 2GB however always go for more. The graphics card should be the equivalent of an Nvidia Geforce 8600 series to enjoy all of the latest games. Look at all the other things too. The screen is always overlooked but if it’s a higher resolution screen its worth a lot more and you should take those things into consideration. At the moment centrino notebooks offer a more complete mobile solution and better performance.
Exciting times are ahead with in the laptop computer industry. The technology is changing rapidly every year and the new performance to be gained can only make laptops a more attractive option to gamers in the future.
