To help you find the best gaming laptop, we've compiled a list of the best models we've tested and reviewed recently. They'll range from the RTX 4050 all the way up to the RTX 4090 (the first time a xx90 has been on mobile). Nvidia's RTX 40-series has started to hit desktops, and were announced for laptops in January. Other trends we expect to see are more laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio, which also means larger screens in some cases. We should see a bunch of laptops with both of these sets of chips as the year progresses. The latest technologies in processors include Intel's 13th Gen "Raptor Lake" processors, which use a hybrid design with Performance and Efficient cores, and AMD's Ryzen 7000 CPUs. On the GPU side, Nvidia's RTX GPUs are in most laptops, though AMD is slowly starting to pair its own graphics cards with hits CPUs for what it calls an " AMD Advantage." (We're not seeing AMD GPUs with Intel CPUs).

While Intel is still a popular option, AMD's Ryzen processors are becoming more common. There is more choice than ever in components, too. Additionally, some more expensive, premium options include OLED for deeper blacks and more vivid colors. There are also an increasing number of 2560 x 1440 display options, giving you an option other than 1080p or 4K.
