Gaming laptops are becoming more powerful as notebook technology offers up new platforms and ever-increasing performance benchmarks. Gone are the days when a serious PC gamer would laugh at the idea of using a laptop for gaming. While gaming PCs still hold a slight advantage over gaming laptops (mainly when it comes to upgrading), gaming laptops now offer a viable alternative, even for hardcore PC gamers.

Perhaps, the major part of a gaming laptop is the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or Graphics Card. You want a high-end Graphics card with dedicated RAM to handle all the latest video games. Integrated graphics simply won't be able to process all the complex features of modern 3-D games.

Most top brand name or high-end gaming laptops now have two or more Graphics Cards working together in CrossFire or SLI (Scalable Link Interface) configuration to give you premium handling power. You should also check to see if your new gaming system has at least 250MB of video memory as this will help with the smooth running of your games.
