When a regular user buys a laptop it is an investment of money, but when a gamer buys a laptop it is an investment of money and a lot of personal time. Gaming is one of the biggest industries, if not the biggest industry, in the world today and while it gets its aura from the console driven markets, the PC game industry is also a huge market.
Today we list the top 3 gaming laptops in the market. These laptops have been considered purely from a gaming experience perspective, therefore, this list should be considered a top-of-the-line list for gaming laptops. This list does not consider budget as a factor. We will soon publish our list of the top 3 budget gaming laptops in the market.
3. MSI GS60 Ghost
Pros
The MSI GS60 Ghost has a distinct USP. Apart from boasting competitive specs it is arguably the thinnest gaming laptop you can find on the market. This adds to its portability. It’s not easy to find a gaming laptop thin enough to be carried around like any other regular laptop. This unique feature alone sets the MSI GS60 Ghost apart from its competitors.
Let’s have a closer look at the specs on the MSI GS60 Ghost.
Specs
Cons
What stands out as a pro for the MSI GS60 Ghost also serves as a bit of a con. In its endeavor to make the Ghost as thin and close to an ultrabook as possible MSI might have inadvertently hurt the machine’s prospects. Much of the look and feel of the MSI GS60 Ghost is based around that of a regular ultrabook. The keyboard is an essential part of a gaming rig and gamers prefer chunky keys on their keyboard. The keyboard on the MSI is anything but a gamer friendly keyboard. It’s an ultrabook inspired keyboard.
While the MSI GS 60 Ghost is a great gaming laptop, the fact is that Lenovo has a laptop that would give you pretty much the same gaming experience at a much lower price – Lenovo Y510p. The MSI GS60 Ghost will surely outperform the Lenovo Y510p on pure specs, but the gaming experience itself isn’t drastically different.
The MSI GS60 Ghost is available for Rs. 1,14,990.
2. ASUS ROG G750JX
Pros
Gamers want I/O options, as many as they can possibly get. The need to connect joysticks and multiple game controllers, and the importance of multiple A/V outputs can only be thoroughly understood by an avid gamer. The ASUS ROG G750JX has a plethora of I/O options.It has 4 USB 3.0 specs mic-in/headphone out, Blu-ray burner slots, and A/V outputs such as HDMI, D-sub, and mini DisplayPort out, alongside 802.11b/g/n networking upgradable to 802.11ac. And of course, Gigabit Ethernet to boast.
Specs
Cons
Notice the last row in the specs chart? Yes, you read that right. The ASUS ROG G750JX is not the most portable laptop you will ever own. It weighs a whopping 4.5 kg and carrying it around like any other laptop isn’t an easy task.
A newer version of the ASUS ROG G750JX is currently available for Rs. 1,49,999.
1. Alienware 17
Pros
When it comes to the best gaming laptops, Dell’s Alienware brand often steals the show. No prizes for guessing, our pick for the best gaming laptop in India is the beast better known as the Alienware 17.
The Alienware 17 lives up to its promise and delivers the best overall gaming experience to its legion of fans. It has the best audio system, the best graphics card, the best display, and it is the best looking gaming laptop among all its competitors.
Specs
Cons
This is without doubt the best gaming laptop in the market and is the current industry benchmark for gaming laptops so there really is very little to complain about the Alienware 17. However, with gaming laptops comes the perennial issue of portability. While the Alienware 17 isn’t as heavy as the ASUS ROG G750JX, it is still on the heavier side at 3.8 kg.
The Alienware 17 will set you back by Rs. 1,91,367, but its worth the price.
