StaceyPowers Like Loading StaceyPowers I really don't think we needed two entirely new topics to cover the additional questions you had about owning a gaming laptop and looking for recommend games, not to mention there is surely a ton of topics about game recommendation, both on PC and otherwise, on the site already.

Thank you for your time. That's why I've decided to just merge these three topics together. Boblee Posted Sunday at AM. Posted Sunday at AM.

It may not be the best gaming laptop, but it's one of the best value machines around. The new and improved Helios has a Hz IPS screen and smaller bezels, putting it more in line with sleek thin-and-lights than its more bulky brethren of the previous generation.

The only real drawback is the diminutive SSD, although the laptop has slots for two SSDs and an HDD, which makes upgrading your storage as easy as getting a screwdriver. Read our full Acer Predator Helios review.

When it comes to gaming, the obvious answer is the graphics card, but that's where things have gotten a little more complicated recently. With GPU performance now so dependent on cooling, you have to pay attention to what wattage a graphics card is limited to and what chassis it's squeezed into. As we said at the top, an RTX confined in an 18mm chassis will perform markedly slower than one in a far chunkier case with room for higher performance cooling.

That really depends on what you want to do with your laptop. An 8-core, thread AMD Ryzen chip will allow you to do a whole load of productivity on the road, but honestly, it will have little benefit in gaming. That's one of the reasons Intel has launched its Tiger Lake H35 chips; they're quad-core, 8-thread CPUs, but they're clocked high to deliver high-end gaming performance when paired with something like the RTX This will arguably have the most immediate impact on your choice of the build.

Picking the size of your screen basically dictates the size of your laptop. A inch machine will be a thin-and-light ultrabook, while a inch panel almost guarantees workstation stuff. At inches, you're looking at the most common size of the gaming laptop screen. We love high refresh rate screens here, and while you cannot guarantee your RTX will deliver fps in the latest games, you'll still see a benefit in general look and feel running a Hz display. The standard p resolution means that the generally slower mobile GPUs are all but guaranteed high frame rates, while companies are slowly drip-feeding p panels into their laptop ranges.

A p screen offers the perfect compromise between high resolution and decent gaming performance. At the same time, a 4K notebook will overstress your GPU and tax your eyeballs as you squint at your inch display.

Your guess is as good as ours. He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. Now he's back, writing about the nightmarish graphics card market, CPUs with more cores than sense, gaming laptops hotter than the sun, and SSDs more capacious than a Cybertruck.
