Buying and choosing a laptop? A gaming laptop is a computer that maximises performance and is a good choice.
Choosing a laptop requires a great amount of effort. It reminds me of my unique laptops that lost their lives(were stolen or just died out) in campus. One had heating issues. It was those HP dv series. The screen used to go blank as a daily habit resulting in high cost.
The hardware is the most determining factor. It is the physical layer abstraction that provides the needed speed to run multiple softwares concurrently.
In this article, I will give a review of the features to look for in a high performance laptop.
Hardware
The hardware should be the best per forming hardware.
It should also have an appropriate cooling system.
The processor speed measured in GHZ should be the highest possible.
Speed
It should not only be in terms of the processor speed but also the graphics card. The graphics card should provide the best graphical display.
Graphics and processors are thus the most important. I would choose the best performing hardware which is similar to making a choice between Toyota and Mercedes.
Processor
Intel Core I7-6700K is the best currently.
1. It is a four core that clocks at 4.0 GHz stock frequency that easily boosts up to 4.2 GHz. The “K” represents an unlockable core that means that the processor is capable of overclocking.
2. The processor comes with an 8 MB cache and carries full support for both DDR4 and DDR3L.
3. It draws more power when compared to the Haswell Refresh 4790K. The TDP for the processor is 91w.
Compare this to the core 2 processor or core i3.There is a big difference.
Graphics
Nvidia GeForce GTX 970
1. Uses the GM204 chip, but with reduced shaders.The graphics card is equipped with 4 GB GDDR5 (7GHz effective).
2. 3.5 GB of the 4 GB are connected with 224 bit, the rest only with a 32bit interface. This can lead to some stuttering or reduced frame rates in games that use the full 4GB.
3. Cool, quiet and power efficient. This is what I recommend as GPUs often suffer from overheating.
4GB full speed VRAM
Try a laptop with such features.
