Whatever you're in the market for, there should be a laptop that's right for you here. Below you'll find the laptops we've tried that offer the best balance of performance, portability, and price. We've tested hundreds of gaming laptops over the years, continue to update this guide with the latest models as they're pushed out. Still, at least there are enough models out there to meet demand. As such, midrange and budget models may be a little more sparse. This does mean manufacturers have turned their focus toward high-end offerings, however. While bagging a new graphics card is going to continue to be a pain this year, along with some flashy DDR5 memory, or even good CPU silicon, gaming laptops seem to have mostly avoided the chip shortage.

laptops with mechanical keyboards even exist, like the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15. You can even find heaps of RAM and super-high refresh screens under the hood.

The newest portable powerhouses sport all the fancy features that high-end gaming PCs do, with their multicore CPUs, Nvidia RTX 30-series and AMD Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs, and speedy NVMe SSDs to top off their smashing configs.
