The wonderful world of gaming laptops!
When doing a bit of research, you will be astonished to find that the first video game was developed in the early 1950's. A.S Dougal did a project for his PhD degree wherefrom a very basic version of Tic-Tac-Toe resulted. The first commercial home game console was only released two decades later, known as the Odyssey, which was designed by Ralph Baer and released by Magnavox. Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney produced the first arcade game in 1971 and a year later the home game console was released. Computer Space - the game that Bushnell created - was based on and inspired by Nolan's Spacewar game. The year after that, Nolan and Al Alcorn released a new arcade game which was their big hit. Pong! was a favorite among gamers and everyone wanted to master it!. In 1975, Atari, Bushnell and Dabney's new company released a home video game version of Pong!
Now, more than three decades later computer gaming has become a billion dollar industry. Pong! although still looked at in nostalgic remembrance, is only but a distant memory. From these humble beginnings a gargantuan industry has developed. Today, true gamers realize that there are many factors involved in choosing the best notebook out of all the gaming laptops and PCs on the market. If mobility is a great need, a laptop or notebook is the only option. However, as we all know there are thousands of different laptops, with unmentionable amounts of specifications available on the market at present. When looking to buy gaming laptops, the following factors should be taken into consideration:
Processor The processor is the most important part of your laptop - especially so with gaming laptops. Recent games need at least a 1.6 GHz processor but they recommend a 2 GHz processor. Anything less than this will most likely not be suitable for the newest and best games.
Memory After the Processor (CPU), the memory space is the most important aspect to consider. A low memory will slow down your computer's processing speed tremendously which will result in a lot of frustration. Newer games need a lot of memory space and thus we recommend a RAM memory of no less than 1GB - 2GB is the better option. When looking at memory speed, do not settle for anything less than 667Mhz.
Graphics Graphics is also an important factor when buying a gaming laptop. No matter the game you play - be it a strategic game or an action packed game - you will need a very good graphics card. We recommend that you look at graphic cards with 512MB dedicated memory, but even this could be insufficient.
Hard Drive This is also a very important aspect when looking for a gaming laptop or computer. A few years ago, a 100GB hard drive was considered more than enough for the biggest and best gamers in the world. Nowadays, 500GB is the minimum that any serious gamer settle for and even that is sometimes insufficient. External or portable hard drives are available though, which makes it easier to just purchase one and link it to your computer. You can buy portable hard drives with a 1 TB available space or even more!!
Optical Drive Depending on your need, it will be best to look for a multiformat (DVDRW) DVD burner. You don't need to worry too much about the drive's write speed, and could possibly save a few dollars buy going for the slower but cheaper option here.
Display A screen size of less than 19 inches is usually not acceptable for any serious gamer. Maximum resolution for the screen size of your choice is needed as this will enhance your viewing pleasure when you watch movies on DVD's or blu-ray discs. This should also improve the graphics output of your games.
After reading this article, it should be clear that buying a gaming laptop takes a lot of thought and decisions. If you are new to gaming, then do not try to take on this challenge without consulting with a professional. Shop around; do not settle for the first great thing you see. The selling of computers is a competitive business and anyone will try to sell you their product - even if it is not the best.
