00:22And hey, if you're looking for a laptop that can game hard and work harder, we found one

00:26that seriously does both.

00:28It might be your perfect match, but you'll have to stick around to see where it lands

00:31on the list.

00:41Let's get into it.

00:42These are the 5 best laptops you can buy right now.

00:45The first laptop to make our list is the ASUS ROG Strix G16, which we picked as the best

00:50laptop for gaming.

00:51The Intel Core i7-13650HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combo work together to create an absolute

00:59beast of a machine, so you'll be able to play all of your games comfortably at high settings.

01:03The screen represents the color much better and gives a little more brightness than a

01:07low, mid-range gaming laptop, pumping out a resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels.

01:13When it comes to size, the G16 features a stunning 16-inch 240Hz Nebula display and weighs 5.51

01:21pounds, pretty standard for a laptop in this class.

01:24For comparison, the Alienware M16, another gaming powerhouse, comes in at 5.75 pounds,

01:30making the G16 slightly lighter.

01:32If you're looking for full details on screen size, weight, and specs for this or any other

01:37laptop in the video, check the description for a complete breakdown.

01:40With DDR5-4800MHz memory and PCIe Gen 4 SSD, this laptop is designed to provide lightning-fast

01:47performance and minimize loading times.

01:50The ROG Intelligent Cooling System with upgraded liquid metal on the CPU and TriFan technology

01:55ensures that the laptop can handle the power it delivers.

01:58For example, playing a game like The Sims might turn a lesser laptop into a hot mess, something

02:02a lot of users complain about, but this one stays as cool as a cucumber.

02:06The FHD display guarantees a premium visual experience, and the MU-X switch with Advanced

02:11Optimus optimizes both gaming performance and battery life.

02:15And it's a cool addition to any game room with its cyberpunk aesthetics and graffiti-inspired

02:20accents.

02:21The laptop's design also features unique elements, such as a dot matrix design on the lid and

02:26cross-hatched vents.

02:27If you are looking for the best gaming laptop, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a great model, and

02:33arguably the best gaming laptop on the market right now.

02:36Next up, we're shifting gears to spotlight a laptop that delivers impressive performance

02:40without the premium price tag.

02:42It's a smart pick for anyone who wants solid power and reliability without overspending.

02:46Our choice for best value, the Dell Inspiron 14+, a laptop that punches well above its weight.

02:52For starters, this one's powered by the Snapdragon X Plus X1 P64-100 processor, running at 3.40

03:00gigahertz, and paired with integrated Qualcomm Adreno graphics.

03:04Translation?

03:04It's built to handle demanding tasks, like gaming, 4K video editing, and heavy multitasking,

03:10without breaking a sweat.

03:11While it's not a dedicated gaming laptop, the Adreno GPU still delivers impressive performance,

03:17with support for HDR gaming, ray tracing, smooth frame rates, and features like variable rate

03:22shading.

03:23The display quality is also quite impressive.

03:25All things considered, it can pump out a 2.2K resolution with 2240x1400 pixels.

03:31It also offers a modern 1610 aspect ratio for more vertical screen space.

03:36Unfortunately, you do have to deal with a limited 60Hz refresh rate, which is going to

03:41feel less smooth compared to models with a higher refresh rate.

03:44But then again, you have to consider this laptop was not designed specifically for gaming.

03:48Also, with 300 nits peak brightness, and an anti-glare display, combined with its 100%

03:54SRBG color rating, it really makes colors look striking.

03:57This is great for video editing, watching your favorite shows, content creation, or pretty

04:01much any type of photo editing.

04:03It also has 512 gigabytes of storage, which is plenty for most people, and can handle high

04:09speeds and multitasking with its 16 gigabytes of onboard RAM.

04:13Overall, this laptop is a standout for its balance of performance, portability, and everyday

04:18usability.

04:19It's an excellent choice for students, professionals, and casual users who want something reliable

04:24and well-rounded, without paying for high-end extras they don't need.

04:27Now, if you really want to see some power, a laptop that is beyond fast and that's perfect

04:32for elite gaming and capable of amazing quality content creation, you're going to want to

04:37check out our next pick, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16.

04:40Most people who are considering this laptop are probably buying it for gaming.

04:44With its Intel Core i7-13650HX, you can game at 1080p, or QHD at mid-to-high settings.

04:52It can handle even the most intensive games, but if you really want to optimize frame rates,

04:56try playing games at 1080p.

04:59A game like Shadow of the Tomb Raider achieves silky smooth gameplay of 97 frames per second

05:04during a benchmark test at the game's highest settings.

05:07The screen is a 16-inch QHD panel with a 16 by 10 aspect ratio.

05:12It boasts a 165 hertz refresh rate and a 3 millisecond response time that combines with

05:17NVIDIA G-Sync and Advanced Optimus for maximum graphics power.

05:21The result is a beautiful picture with minimal tearing and blur.

05:24It's also great for multitasking workloads like video, music, and picture editing.

05:29A solid comparison here is the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, which offers a similar spec setup.

05:34In Cinebench tests, both laptops were closely matched in CPU performance,

05:39with the Acer Predator consistently edging ahead in both single-core and multi-core scores.

05:44Overall, the Predator stands out as a strong performer,

05:46especially for users who need reliable power across gaming, creative work, and multitasking.

05:51If we had to nitpick, the bottom-facing speakers are a bit underwhelming.

05:56They get decently loud, but the audio can sound slightly hollow.

05:59Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind.

06:01For everyday use, though, they'll get the job done.

06:04All things considered, this is a standout gaming laptop that delivers serious performance

06:08in a package that's tough to beat, which is exactly why it earned a spot on our list.
