Gaming Laptop Buying Guide for Australian Buyers

Compare performance, screen, cooling, battery and portability when selecting a gaming laptop.

Understand laptop GPU power

Two laptops with the same GPU family name can perform differently due to power limits and cooling. Find tests of the exact model and configuration under sustained gaming.

Choose a useful screen

Resolution, refresh rate, brightness and size affect the experience. A high refresh display helps when hardware can sustain suitable frame rates. Consider external monitor use too.

Plan for portability

Weight, charger size, battery life and fan noise matter when travelling. Gaming on battery usually reduces performance. Check whether memory and storage are upgradeable on the exact model.
