Thus, it is necessary to build on finance. Each time, the choice of such a technique must be approached individually. If you do not know how to choose a gaming laptop, we recommend that you focus on our assemblies, which are assembled subject to a balance of price and components. In addition, we can only describe the optimal ranges of key characteristics (from and to) for modern models of different price segments:

1. Video card - from GTX 1050 to NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 2080;
2. Processor - from the 4-core Core I5 ​​8300H to the Intel Core i9 9900K;
3. Display - regardless of size, optimally focus on IPS-matrix with Full HD or 4K at a refresh rate of 90 to 144 Hz (more is possible). It is important to pay attention to the response time, coating quality and brightness with the level of contrast.
4. RAM - there are 32 and 64, and even 128 GB, but 16 GB of DDR 4 are enough for any games;
5. Internal memory - according to most experts, do not overpay for the amount of SSD. Even today, you can manage the volume of 256 GB in the presence of HHD from 1 terabyte.
6. Audio - traditionally, manufacturers such as Acer and Asus are most pleased with the sound quality. However, recently the company DELL is approaching the championship of leaders very quickly.

Do not lose sight of the quality of the keyboard if we are talking about gaming laptops. Premium models, as a rule, are equipped with good backlighting and macro settings, which means there is proprietary software.

Summing up, I would like to add that today it is quite difficult to focus on gaming models with a budget of less than 50 thousand rubles. Yes, you can still take a 1050 graphics card and a 4-core processor with a low frequency, try to compensate for this with the RAM, but already tomorrow this model will allow you to be satisfied with the minimum settings, if not at all ... If you don’t know what to buy game monitor, we recommend saving a little money, and take from 50 000+. To summarize:

• best laptop up to 50,000 rubles - ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DD;
• the best model up to 80 000 rubles - Dell G5 15 5590;
