Gaming laptops: What they offer and how they differ from other notebooks?

There have risen a number of gaming laptops in the market of late, especially after the launch of Intel’s new line of processors and NVIDIA’s new iterations of high-end graphics cards. Milking these new technologies in laptops is a great way to offer replacements to desktops. However, with performance comes a compromise on size and design.

Only a few gaming laptops have managed to produce great performing laptops keeping the looks good to great, Razer Blade and Samsung Series 7 are some of the examples to quote. Though they do not match the exuberance of ultrabooks but they are have the brains, brawn and beauty at same hand.

The latest iteration of gaming laptops like Origin EON 17-S, Razer Blade and Samsung Series 7 are serious gaming laptops boasting Intel Core i7processors, the Blade however, has the second-gen Sandy Bridge processor whereas, the other two have Ivy Bridge third-gen CPUs nestled inside.

These laptops offer interal memory in double figures and processors clocked at 2.0 GHz, to say at the least. Caches in minimum 4 MB and data storage devices in terabytes are all common for these devices. And there is only one factor for which these PC manufacturers go to these lengths, to make the gaming experience smooth and HiFi.

Normally these laptops have displays in HD, be it 720p or 1080p. However, after the release of the latest GeForce NVIDIA graphics cards these notebooks mostly offer the latter version of the display, which takes the gaming experience to the next possible level.

Although disc-based media is a dying breed now as most of the content is available online or via dedicated streaming. The same does not go for gaming. Most of the gaming content is still on discs, DVDs or Blu-Ray Discs. These laptops have all that covered in DVD/Blu-Ray ROMs, RAMs and Combos, some come with BDs and some have it optional in the specs sheet.

All of this is promising for laptops and the launch of both Intel processors and NVIDIA GPUs bode well for future of gaming on portable devices like mid-range to gaming laptops.
