Top Gaming Laptops :
These are some of my favorite gaming laptops:
Razer
Blade 14 ($2,399)
THE
GOOD The new Razer Blade boasts the same beautifully thin design, but
adds a sharp 3,200x1,800 touch display and advanced Nvidia graphics.
THE
BAD The
battery life is worse than last year's model's. Adding more SSD storage can
turn this into a pricey laptop.
THE
BOTTOM LINE Razer’s
newest gaming laptop trades ultralong battery life for a fantastic screen and
even better graphics. It’s a trade worth making: this is the best Razer gaming
laptop, and the best thin gaming PC anywhere.

Lenovo Y50 Touch ($1,449)
THE
GOOD The Asus G751 has excellent performance, can drive games at 4K
resolution, and includes a few handy shortcut keys gamers will appreciate.
THE
BAD You
could buy about a dozen game consoles for what this costs. Battery life and
design are stuck in the past. You'll need an external 4K TV or monitor for the
highest-res gaming.
THE
BOTTOM LINE One
of the first laptops that can drive games at 4K resolutions, the Asus G751 is
an expensive but capable alternative to gaming desktops.

·
PROS
Sleek
