We have organized some of the best gaming laptops at this time on the market and many of them are good for other tasks besides gaming too, such as photo and video editing, and streaming. Still these laptops are meant for gaming and you can game whether you have a budget of $4,000 or a more reasonable budget of $1,000.
Buying Forecast for Fall 2020: Things are going to be hushed in the gaming laptop field for a bit. As we have stated on our other laptop buying guide, Intel newly launched its 11th-gen mobile processor with Iris X E Graphics. Laptop companies will start moving out their efficiency models first, so it’s expected that we are not gonna see any gaming models with the latest processors till next year.
We will not see any gaming laptops with RTX 3070, 3080 or 3090 variants for a bit, too. Companies like Acer, Asus, MSI and others usually will wait until CES to announce or start indicating off their upcoming gaming laptop with the latest GPUs and we’re still waiting on AMD to officially reveal that laptops with own graphics cards are coming. Maybe they are waiting for CES as well. It is also likely that we will have to wait quite longer to see them since AMD just revealed its new 6000-series of GPUs.

At this point, any gaming laptop you will be able to find will have a 10th-gen Intel processor or AMD 4000 series, even though some models don’t have that option, and somewhere from a GTX 1650 to a RTX 2080 “Super graphics” card, depending on what specifications are available at what price point.
