Buying a Gaming Laptop?

There's a heightened interest in people wanting to buy gaming laptop, and Everyone wants me to make a recommendation that lets readers choose a gaming laptop at different budget.
A gaming Laptop - areally good one- is a complicated mixture of enginnering and industrial design to pull off successfully . That's Why really good ones are always so expensive - Dell's Alienware series, MSI Ghost , ASUS ROG etc. But they still struggle to match up Desktop gaming PC's performance, at similar price. 

 You don't even need to tell us what happened when you told your friends that you want to buy a gaming laptop. Their inner elitist got the best of them, and bashed you for not just outright building a gaming PC. But we get you. Building a gaming PC takes knowledge and dexterity that you just don't have or care to develop.

That's where the gaming laptop shines, as the fast lane to PC gaming. No need to build a case or even buy a monitor. Of course, that convenience comes with quite a price tag. Most vendors start their asking prices at around $1,400 (about £818, AU$1,492) for 13 and 14-inch products, whereas the biggest and beefiest 17 and 18-inch models can skyrocket upwards of $3,000 (around £1,753, AU$3,195).

If you consider that a gaming laptop will never come close to a comparably-priced gaming desktop, then your decision is already made. But again, the gaming notebook is a device of convenience and portability over raw power. Without further ado, here are our favorite gaming laptops that we've reviewed thus far.

Now the assumption here is that everyone wants to desperately  buy Gaming Laptop. There are two Things that matter while buying new Gaming Laptop- A gaming laptop's GPU and it's VRAM. I've  taken a long look at the offerings and AMD's Radeon GPU- based laptops offerings are few and far between , while the market is flooded with NVIDIA GeForce graphics equipped gaming notebooks. You should look at buying laptops with NVIDIA Geforce "GTX" 700M or 800M GPU's and not just settle for "GT" ones, if you can. The VRAM of choice should be GDDR5 over GDDR3,  and the higher is capacity is obviously better one.

A minimum 2GB of VRAM is basic Qualification and with 4GB VRAM gives you enough headroom to pump out frames at higher ratings.

Having higher as 1080p screen is an absolute must for any serious gamer worth their salt, but for low configuration GPU's driving a game at 1366x768 Pixels resolutions can managed pretty well. Any self respecting gaming laptop has to have a full keyboard with dedicated number pad , and I strongly 
urge you to try your hand at them before purchase.
