Best small gaming laptop




















Sometimes, just lightweight and speedy are fine. The G14 is still a great laptop; especially now, we're getting the RTX update in that smart chassis. The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is a reliable inch system with high-end graphics that rivals even some gaming desktops despite being loud. I am mighty tempted to push the Razer Blade 14 further up the list, simply because the inch form factor has absolutely won me over. Feeling noticeably smaller than the inch Blade and closer to the ultrabook Stealth 13, the Blade 14 mixes a matte black MacBook Pro-style with genuine PC gaming pedigree.

The Razer style is classic, and it feels great to hold, too. And with the outstanding AMD Ryzen 9 HX finally finding its way into a Blade notebook, you're getting genuine processing power you can sling into a messenger bag. And soon you will be able to get your hands on the Blade 14 with the brand new Ryzen 9 HX chip at its heart which will actually be able to save on battery on the go by using its RDNA 2 based onboard graphics.

Add in some extra Nvidia RTX series graphics power—now all the way up to an RTX Ti, but wear ear plugs—and you've got a great mix of form and function that makes it the most desirable laptop I've maybe ever tested. My only issue is that the RTX Ti would be too limited by the diminutive inch chassis and run a little loud.

But you're not buying the Blade 14 specifically for outright performance and anything else; this is about having all the power you need in a form factor that works for practical mobility.

Read the full Razer Blade 14 review. It's not the most powerful GPU, but it's affordable, available, and will still deliver decent p frame rates for the cost. You have to make compromises in areas like performance, design, and even battery life. The most significant improvement from its previous model is its slimmer, sleeker design. With thinner bezels around a Hz display, the sleeker design gives it a more high-end vibe.

The display itself seems the only downside, not having as rich a color range as the other gaming laptops on this list. The Max-Q 3. But it's not Nvidia Ampere's power without compromise, however. MSI has had to be a little parsimonious about its power demands to pack something as performant as an RTX into an 18mm thin chassis.

But it is still an astonishingly powerful slice of mobile graphics silicon. It can get a little loud, but thankfully, you have the benefits of all the Nvidia Max-Q 3. This includes Whisper Mode 2. The GS66 also comes with an outstanding Hz p panel, which perfectly matches the powerful GPU when it comes to games. Sure, you'll have to make some compromises compared to an RTX you might find in a hulking workstation, but the MSI GS66 Stealth is a genuinely slimline gaming laptop.

Yes, it's expensive, but this is the pinnacle of high-end gaming. There's absolutely no question you can buy a much more sensible gaming laptop than this, but there is something about the excesses of the ROG Strix Scar 17 that make it incredibly appealing. It feels like everything about it has been turned up to 11, from the overclocked CPU—which is as beastly as it gets—to the gorgeously speedy Hz screen.

Asus has pushed that little bit harder than most to top our gaming laptop benchmarks. And top the benchmarks of the best gaming laptops it does, thanks in the main to the GeForce RTX that can be found beating away at its heart.

This is the W version of Nvidia's top Ampere GPU, which means it's capable of hitting the kind of figures thinner machines can only dream of. The inch chassis means the components have a bit more room to breathe compared to the competition too, and coupled with the excellent cooling system, you're looking at a cool and quiet slice of gaming perfection.

This extra space has allowed Asus to squeeze an optomechanical keyboard onto the Scar 17, which is a delight for gaming and more serious pursuits.

It may not be the best gaming laptop, but it's one of the best value machines around. The new and improved Helios has a Hz IPS screen and smaller bezels, putting it more in line with sleek thin-and-lights than its more bulky brethren of the previous generation.

The only real drawback is the diminutive SSD, although the laptop has slots for two SSDs and an HDD, which makes upgrading your storage as easy as getting a screwdriver. These are pretty good for gaming at p to p at high to lower settings depending on the game.

This is definitely something to consider, and you can also use an external monitor with the enclosure, which frees up some bandwidth and increases performance. To begin with, this is machined out of a single piece of aluminum with CNC machining. This means that the laptop is very stiff and sturdy, and should last you a good while. The keyboard also has Chroma RGB with The Blade Stealth has an integrated webcam with instant facial unlock, which works really well and really fast.

When it comes to gaming, Razer has been around for a while. Initially only making peripherals and good ones at that , they now have a host of excellent gaming laptops. When it comes to specs, the Blade Stealth 13 is plenty powerful. Even though the U series by Intel are meant to save a bit of power, this one is actually pretty powerful and you can easily use it for gaming.

It comes in the more powerful, 4GB 25W variant. This combination makes the Blade Stealth 13 great because it can easily run most modern titles. Last but not least, the cooling on the Blade Stealth 13 is great.

In terms of the design, you actually have a two-in-one here, because the screen detaches and you can use it as a tablet. You could also use it in tent mode — completely up to you. This is a quad-core CPU that can turbo boost up to 4. This is a great graphics card, especially for games such as Fortnite or Overwatch, where you can easily expect high framerates.

When it comes to features, the highlight is the removable display. This makes the Surface Book 2 one of the top laptops for creatives, especially if you buy the Surface Pen. Cooling is sorted out by the fan in the keyboard base, which is sufficient to cool the GTX graphics card. There are no throttling issues, and the laptop performs very well even under heavy load.

The keyboard is backlit as well, which could come in handy. An interesting addition is the hinge — when you open the laptop, a small part of the display goes under the body, thus lifting the keyboard in a more ergonomic position.

When it comes to specs, the Envy is a slim, ultraportable powerhouse. If you subscribe to only one CNET newsletter, this is it.
