There are 2.47 billion gamers worldwide, and Newzoo projects that number will hit 2.7 billion by next year. In the U.S. alone, 3 out of 4 households have gamers, while 64% of homes own at least one gaming device. These figures underscore the immense popularity of gaming, which now includes serious gamers who play computing-intensive games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3: Wildhunt.
Yet while those games are ideal for PC owners, many people are more likely to own a laptop, which can be an issue as today’s AAA games have high system requirements. For gamers who want to play on the move, there are a wide range of high performing models available, with the gaming laptops on Adorama showing how brands like MSI, Acer, and ASUS have all designed devices that can match the requirements of graphic intensive games. Depending on the specs, gaming laptops can range from as low as $699 to a whopping $3,999 or even higher.
To accommodate all our readers, we’ve compiled this list of gaming laptops — starting with the budget-friendly all the way to the most expensive one.

At this price point, the Lenovo IdeaPad S340 is a good score. It can run most games without lag thanks to its Ice Lake Intel i7 processor and Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 GPU. What’s more, the massive, clear screen makes playing an immersive experience. Its battery has lots of juice, too, which means longer playing time without the frequent charging.
Starting at: $1,099
You’d be hard-pressed to find a gaming laptop sporting the Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti, which is on par with the GTX 1080 and the Maxwell Titan X, with its 6GB GDDR memory, 8-pin power connector, tensor cores, and 1,880 MHz frequency. It’s a beast of a GPU that, when coupled with the AMD Ryzen 7, is perfect for high-performing gaming. It also comes with an 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage, plus a superior FHD IPS screen for ultimate viewing pleasure.
Starting at: $1,129
This elegant-looking, jet-black laptop is the spiritual successor to the equally impressive HP Pavilion 15T, which made it to our list of 10 best under $1,000 gaming laptops of 2019. Like the 15T, the HP Pavilion Gaming sports an Intel Core i7 processor, only faster. It also has a more powerful GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q. w

The Razer Blade is routinely named as one of the best gaming laptops on the market. It is still one of the best today, especially for its price point, with its Intel Core I7-8750H processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q GPU. Plus, you get all that in a stunning, super-thin package.
Starting at: $1,999
The Verge notes that the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 delivers, especially on the gaming front with its supercharged 4900HS and Max-Q combo complementing the G14’s AMD Ryzen 9 chipset. For years, the knock on AMD is that it can’t compete head-to-head with Intel’s best CPUs. The Ryzen 9, with its 8 cores, 16 threads, and 3.0 GHz clock speed, changes all that, making the G14 perfect for gaming.
Starting at: $2,238
At over $2,000, the Gigabyte Aorus 17G provides desktop-level performance in a durable, rugged-looking laptop. It packs some serious punch with its powerful Intel Comet Lake-H i7 processor complemented by the equally impressive Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q GPU. Then, its 17-inch full HD screen all but guarantees the best view of your favorite game.
Starting at: $2,699
The MSI GE65 Raider more than justifies its exorbitant price tag. It’s sleek and stylish on the outside, but has a lot of power inside, boasting an i9-9880H CPU and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU.
