Gamers seek a pure gaming experiences and therefore PCs are the default favourite. But sometimes you just need something portable to enjoy gaming even while camping or spending your holidays at a beach resort – a proven, tested and budget friendly, gaming laptop under 50000 is often the only choice for avid gamers who like us, do not want to compromise on performance and experience.
Gaming laptops are full fledged computers that come with powerful hardwares that support flawless, smooth gaming. Therefore, you must choose wisely. You must have a clear understanding of what type of computers can support the kind of games you play.
Here are some tips that will help you bring home a good gaming laptop :
You definitely need a good GPU( graphics processing unit): Most games demand a good GPU, but the problem is that most laptops don’t allow you to upgrade that piece of hardware. Therefore, you must ensure that the laptop that you are buying has a good enough GPU built in. This will allow you to play high quality games for the next few years.
Go for bigger RAM : When it comes to RAM, bigger the better. You may consider upgrading the RAM later but remember that many laptops don’t let you upgrade your RAM and storage.
You need a FHD or Full HD display: Avoid 4K resolution because the performance and speed dips. A 1920 x 1080 resolution is the fastest display available nowadays and is perfect for gaming.
A good keyboard is a must : Nobody likes to play hi-fi games like Cyberpunk, or COD with a keyboard that doesn’t feel right and cannot handle some gentle bangs. Look for a gaming laptop under 50000 that has a sturdy keyboard.
Don’t expect your laptop battery to work for years : Gaming drains battery and shortens battery life. Very few gaming high-end laptops may meet your expectations. While gaming, you need the power supply to get the best performance anyway.
The kind of GPU need :
The majority of games available in the market requires GPU.Therefore, look for gaming laptops under 50000 that come with Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX GPUs. The Radeon RX 5000M series, which consists of the RX 5500M and the RX 5600M and RX 5700M will give you more performance within your budget.
The kind of CPU you need :
Look for a Core i7 CPU or even one that you can overclock such as the Intel Core i9-9980HK. You may also look for laptops with desktop CPUs. However, as most games depend more on GPU than CPU, you can always go for a Core i5 processor.
And don’t buy something older than the most current Intel 10th Gen Core because the CPUs usually aren’t upgradeable.
The kind of RAM you need :
An 8GB RAM is the minimum for gamers who are looking for laptops under 50000. This is the minimum configuration that ordinary computer users need these days. If you can, go for 16GB on a gaming laptop under 50000. Laptops with a GTX 1650 or 1660 Ti usually come with 8GB. Before you buy a gaming laptop with 8 GB RAM, see if the laptop allows you to upgrade it to 16 GB whenever you want.
The kind of Storage you need :
A hard drive works fine but a laptop with SSD will give you faster booting, loading and better gaming experience. Buy a gaming laptop that works with both hard drive and SSD. Most gaming laptops include a small SSD to serve as a boot drive. It’s not uncommon to see a 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD working hand to hand. A larger SSD ensures decreased loading times, but that will also cost you more. A 7,200-rpm HDD is the minimum requirement for a gamer.
The kind of Display you need :
Displays are hugely important for gamers because the appearance of the game you play depends on the display. Go for a Full HD or 1920X1080 display. Avoid 4K because it will make the laptop slower. Most gaming laptops have 15 or 17-inch screens which is sufficient. But if you pocket permits, can look for 18-inch panels. A refresh rate of 60Hz is good enough. Some laptops come with touch screens which are not necessary for gaming.
What kind of Keyboard you need :
Any entry-level gaming keyboard comes with chiclet keys with LED backlighting. What you need to look for is how far down you can press a key. Keys with over 1.5 millimeters of key travel is enough but if you hit 2mm, that’s even better. A good depth helps you avoid “bottoming out,” or hitting the keyboard’s frame. When you get to some really expensive laptops, you can even find mechanical keys. And though Macro Keys are rare in gaming laptops, finding one is not impossible.
