Advice on buying a laptop for people with “blood” of the game

You are a game enthusiast, a gamer with a lot of game time. Therefore, you need a laptop that is right for you to conquer this passion. So don’t ignore the 5 criteria for buying a gaming laptop that Tnhelearning.edu.vn introduces below!

Focus on GPU

For gamers, the GPU is known as the Graphics Processing Unit, the dedicated processor and also the heart of a VGA.

If the CPU in the machine is in charge of processing all the instructions that are transferred and then executed, the GPU supports the CPU in processing the instruction files related to images, graphics and specifically here. game you are playing.

Currently, mainstream laptops are divided into two main types: GTX 900M series and AMD 300 Series, if you compare this product line with the same type as GTX 950M with GTX 950 desktop version, it will lose about 40-60% of the power. powerful, partly due to the limited storage space attached to the heatsink.

However, today’s popular laptop lines are also capable of fighting online games like Dota 2, League of Legends or Overwatch with fairly configured configurations or less.

Their prices also range from 10 million to 15 million today. Typically, Asus, Dell, MSI, and Lenovo laptops have GPUs with codes like GTX 940M, 950M and some slightly more advanced 960M.

As for today’s professional gaming laptops, all use new technology GPUs with codes up to 980M.

Especially in Nvidia’s 1000 series we have 1050, 1060 or even 1070 and 1080 with great power, on this 1000 series the boundary between laptop and desktop has been blurred when desktop GPUs are introduced. kept almost intact to be able to work on laptops with more than 90% efficiency.

Of course, these laptops are not cheap, the lowest version must cost more than 22 million VND.

Prioritize configuration of 4-core CPU

You need to prioritize 4-core CPU: should choose Core i7 HQ series like 6700HQ, 7700HQ to achieve the best processing performance. If you don’t have enough money, a 4-core Core i5 like 7300HQ is the lowest choice.

You can distinguish laptop lines based on chip types, on letter codes like U, Q or M as follows:

– Chip Q : These are high-performance chips, used for gaming laptops, for example: Core i7 Q840.

– Chip U : An energy-saving chip that usually has a low clock speed, for example, Core i5 5200U.

– Chip M : Chip used normally with high clock speed, but lower than Q series.

Should choose SSD instead of HDD

Of course, if you compare the speed, SSD is 3 to 5 times faster than HDD and so is its price.

Usually mid-range or even professional gamers use the solution to choose to buy an M2 Sata-format SSD that most laptops born from 2016 onward support in combination with a default HDD. like nowadays.

Of course, the SSD will be used to run Windows with high boot speed and the HDD will be used for storage including games. The game experience is not affected much as it will take you a few tens of seconds to load the game if you only use the HDD.

The large screen size makes the game better

The size of the machine often affects the configuration and heat dissipation efficiency during gaming.

The large size will provide a lot of space for manufacturers to integrate hardware as well as design a cooling system that is efficient enough for the hardware. 

If you need to move the device constantly, you should choose 15.6″, the 15.6″ usable space is still large enough for us to multitask and ensure the gaming experience.

On the contrary, if you want to use a large screen, you can consider choosing 17.3″ or larger, there will be more configuration options, better heat dissipation and larger usable space.

Keyboard selection from 1.5 to over 2mm

The key travel on gaming laptops is longer from 1.5 mm to over 2 mm to provide a better pressing feeling, and the key layout is spacious so that the hand can comfortably stretch out when playing games for a long time without fatigue.

Game-specific buttons have also been added, the backlit light in addition to red has an RGB type that allows customization and even a mechanical keyboard.

Currently, the new ASUS laptop has also improved the keyboard with a longer stroke. Dell Alienware is still loyal to the old-fashioned keyboard design and HP, Acer or Lenovo, depending on the model.

With the above suggestions, hope you will soon choose for yourself a “hardcore” laptop to accompany the road to conquer the game!
