When it comes to gaming, the platform of choice goes to the consoles. Well, at least as far as the average consumer goes. But enthusiasts know that if you want to experience the true quality that a game has to offer, then PC gaming is the way to go. Desktops will give you that extra oomph, but sometimes portability is a necessary factor for LAN party-goers or traveling pros. For those looking to take their game mobile without sacrificing too many frame rates, PCMag has rounded up the best gaming laptops. As with desktops, the best gaming laptops tend to be configured specifically for gaming performance. That means the best gaming graphics card out there (in this case, either an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660M or AMD Radeon HD 6990M), and at least an Ivy Brdge Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU. The screen size for gaming laptops tends to be big (think 15 to 18 inches), though there are one or two ultraportable gaming laptops on the market today. And given that high-end components tend to drain battery life, don't expect these gaming rigs to stray too far from a wall socket very often. Lastly, be prepared to brownbag it for your workweek lunches for a while, as all this performance (especially in a portable package) doesn't come cheap. But maybe you're not looking to burn up the gaming grid. Maybe you want a laptop that offers smooth gameplay on the lighter end of the 3D graphics spectrum without sacrificing your rent check. In that case, there are laptops available with lower-end GPUs that cost a little less than the higher-end stuff out there and still let you hold your head up when competing in World of Warcraft or Torchlight, or older titles like Team Fortress 2. Below are 10 of our best gaming laptops, which range from the luxury to the more moderate purchase that can still keep you competitive on the gaming grid.

I would have included the Toshiba X505 models in this lineup, Core I7 processors, Nvidia 460GTX graphics with an 18.4" 1080p screen all for under 2k. I own one and it screams!

Best "gaming" laptop ? How can you talk about Asus NX90JQ-A1 And forget Asus G53 and G73 series ?... Seriously... http://rog.asus.com/
keith smith and 9 more liked this

Jamie Anderson 1 year ago

The G73 series are good, when they work. However, they are known for suffering from GSOD (grey screen of death) issues and poor build quality. Asus also had a lot of trouble getting dual Radeon Mobility 5870s to work properly, and I'm still not sure if they work as they should.

keith smith 1 year ago

your an idiot. GSOD is fixed with a silmple vbios update. GET REAL. Talking about dual 5870ms when half the lappys listed can't compete with the single 5870m.

What about the M17x? It blows these computers out of the water with dual 5870 graphic cards... (well performance wise yes, gaming wise the x7200 does better). Thought the M17x can be clocked higher than a x7200.

Jamie Anderson 1 year ago

"... but the M17x is looking like the better pick when it gets the same Core i7 treatment" The Core i7 versions of the M17x came out around August last year. I got mine around September, with dual 5870s. It is a beast of a machine when it comes to games, running almost all titles at native screen resolution (1920x1200) with max detail settings. Only a handful of the hungriest games require the settings to be dropped down (e.g. Metro 2033).
