What are the most important specs to look out for when buying a gaming laptop on Cyber Monday?
The most obvious thing that sets gaming laptops apart from other models is the graphics card, also called the GPU. The best gaming laptops feature top-of-the-line GPUs, which is what lets them run new games with the best visuals possible.
Most gaming laptops have an Nvidia RTX graphics card, which is the best brand around. And the higher the number after “RTX,” the better — the newest version is the RTX 4090, but most gaming laptops stop at RTX 3070, which is still pretty amazing.
But if the laptop you’re looking at says it has “Intel Integrated Graphics,” don’t buy it for gaming — Intel Integrated is pretty much the most barebones graphics type you can find.
Aside from the GPU, you should be looking for the same key specs that you’d look for in any laptop: A sizable SSD, a fast CPU, and a quality screen.
