ERAZER P6689 Intel i5 GTX 1050 Gaming Laptop

It’s a mystery how Medion have managed to compile so many sought-after components into one affordable package. Powered by the more than capable Intel Core i5-8250U with the option to turbo boost to 3.4Ghz, along with a full-fat Nvidia 1050 GTX 4GB, you’ll be able to play your favourite games without the need to make any major sacrifices. Chuck in a generous 1TB hard drive, 8GB of RAM and a full HD 15.6” IPS 120hz screen, and it’s clear to see that Medion have a magical product on their hands. Shazam.

MSI PE72 8RD-020UK Gaming Laptop

 Don’t be fooled by its discreet, almost corporate-looking appearance – the MSI PE72 is a serious gaming laptop with the specs to prove it. With plenty of processing power thanks to an Intel Core i7-8750H and serious graphical grunt from a supercharged Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB, the MSI PE72 welcomes whatever you can throw at it. Input lag is also a thing of the past on this supercharged system thanks to its 120Hz screen and 3ms response time. Pure pwnage.

ASUS TUF FX505DY RX560X Gaming Laptop

Are you a staunch defender of team AMD? If so, the ASUS TUF will make your green-loving friends red with envy. Armed with a Ryzen 5 CPU, Radeon Vega RX560X 4GB and a generous 16GB of RAM, this exceptionally robust and durable laptop is designed to dominate the competition (and protect it from any day-to-day wear and tear). With a cutting-edge IPS-level NanoEdge display – offering silky-smooth, blur free gameplay – and an ultra fast refresh rate of up to 144Hz on some configurations, don’t be surprised if your eyes tear up at the sheer beauty onscreen. *sniff*

 

ASUS TUF FX505DT GTX 1650 15.6 R5-3550H Gaming Laptop

Another corker of a laptop from the ASUS TUF range is the FX505DT. Rocking the latest AMD Ryzen processor (complete with quad cores and eight threads that can reach up to 3.7GHz), it packs a powerful punch, while its Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Graphics encourages both beautiful performance and staggering images. An ergonomic keyboard fitted with HyperStrike technology adds to this laptop’s gamer-friendly design, while immersive DTS Surround Sound offers theatre-quality audio that’ll help you sink into your games with ease. For the value-conscious gamer, you really couldn’t strike a sweeter deal.
