10 Best Gaming Laptops 2017

Investing endless hours finding all the right components and locking them into place sounds like a chore. You don't want to "build" a computer. You'd rather get to the fun part: actually playing games. Luckily, there are more than enough gaming laptops on the market to choose from.

The convenience of taking your rig on the go, complete with a built-in monitor and keyboard isn't cheap, however. On the low end, a decent notebook will set you back about $1,400 (about £900).

For the best PC games at 4K with consistent frame rates, you can expect to shell out over $3,000 (around £1,900, AU$4,000) for qualifying hardware. That’s assuming, though, that the games themselves are optimized enough to run properly. Luckily, if you’re in the market for VR, lower system requirements equate to a greater swath of gaming laptops you can choose from.

Here you'll find the gaming laptop that's best for you:
