Normally, if you ask someone this question, How to Build a Gaming Laptop? They'll probably laugh out loud or something.
But, that's not gonna happen here at Laptop Anatomy! 🙂
Even though it is technically impossible to "Build" a Gaming Laptop. But, there is a way that you can Build a Gaming Laptop of your own, just like we Build a Gaming PC. That is exactly what I am going to share with you today.
How to Build a Gaming Laptop? - Step by Step
Ever heard of Amazon.com?
Yup, that's the one! 😉
We'll be using Amazon.com to build ourselves a gaming laptop today. So let's get started with this step by step process...
Step 1
Open up Amazon. There? Great! Now type "Gaming Laptop" in the Search Box above, and hit Enter.
Step 2
After that, you'll see a Filters section on the 👈 left hand side. Scroll down a little bit, and you'll see a Box where you can enter your maximum budget for the gaming laptop you wish to purchase. Enter in any amount you want. I'll be entering $1,000 here for instance.
Step 3
After that, select what CPU or Processor would you like in the Gaming Laptop you are building right now. I personally would always opt for an i7, because they're the fastest and most bad-ass processors you can get in laptops for gaming.
Step 4
After that, pick which brand's Graphics Card would you like your custom built laptop to have inside. You can pick either AMD GPU, or an NVIDIA one. If possible, always go with an NVIDIA, in my opinion. So, that's what I am going to pick here as well.
Step 5
Now, select what Display size do you want in your gaming laptop? Personally, I think 15 inches are plenty, only go with 17 if you are planning to do content creation, because bigger screens tend to be more color accurate. I'm picking the 15 inches category here.
Step 6
After that's done, see what amount of RAM would you like in your gaming laptop that you are building right now. I think 16GB is a sweet spot, but the choice is yours, of course. I'll be going with 16GB of RAM.
Step 7
Here, I personally always prefer an SSD over an HDD, even if it's a Hybrid Drive, I'd always go and pick an SSD. It will cost you more, but in the long run, you'll be pretty satisfied with your decision of going with an SSD, rather than a traditional, old and slow hard drive of some sort.
Finally!
Yes, we're done!
After you have selected everything you want in your custom gaming laptop, you can stop adding more filters, and start looking at what Amazon has to offer you for all those specified requirements you had, out of the thousands of laptops available in their database.
You can open these up in different tabs in your browser, and start looking for the best of the best in the list, and pick the one you like the most out of all of them.
Best of luck! 🤞
