When picking the right laptop for your type of work or general use, there are factors to look into so you get the best out of your money:

GPU – The graphics processing unit (GPU) generally dictates the over-all gaming capability of the machine. This will mean having to set the Graphics settings of the game from Medium, to High or Ultra. Also,

Storage – While hard drives offer a much cheaper option with larger capacities (i.e. 1TB or 2TB), Solid State Drives provide faster performance in terms of read and write speeds. Good thing is that SSDs are slowly inching closer to traditional HHDs in terms of pricing and you can get 512GB to 1TB SSD options for typical gaming laptops.

RAM – Obviously, bigger RAM is generally better. We recommend starting off at 8GB but ideally 16GB is more generous. Some can go up to 32GB but that’s already going to be expensive.

Display – For most PC gamers, display size plays a major factor in the experience. Other features you need to look are non-glare screens and higher refresh rates (1ms) which can accommodate faster frame rates.

Other factors – portability, battery, ports, etc should also be considered as additional factors in the selection process but that will heavily depend on the specific needs or preferences of the user.

With so many options to choose from, it can be quite a chore to scout around and inspect each and every unit in your shortlist. But once you’ve pinned down your final choice, it’s only a matter of getting new stock from a reputable and trusted source.

For gadgets, smartphones, and laptops, there’s SM Cyberzone for that and you can access all the shops and computer stores via the SM Malls Online app.

You can also get the best deals around by watching out for discounts and vouchers. You’ll never know when you can grab additional freebies, bundles or even get free delivery.
