Top 5 Best and Affordable Gaming 14-in and 15-in Laptops

I used to sell many laptops in Ebay and I know what the gamer like for new computer system or Laptop PC. This article will look into the Top 5 Best & Affordable Gaming 14" - 15" Laptop under 16-in screen. If you plan to buy laptop, you should select the best performing laptop system such as CPU Performance, LCD Screen Performance, Memory and Video card. Other features such as hard drive size, wifi, webcam, Bluetooth and more may be less important but would be useful to have as well.

Let looks at the details:

1. CPU performance – With new processors are being introduced by chip maker, any gamer should always check the new chip status and performance. For instance, Intel has introduced Intel Core i-series chip with i3, i5 and i7 series which provide stunning speed and performance. This makes most of the Core 2 Duo or Core Duo or Pentium chip less preferable for gaming.
2. Screen Resolution – All screen technologies for laptop used to use only LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Recently LED screen has become the primary choice. The higher contrast, the lower power consumption as well as cost of LED screen make various manufacturers to switch to this LED technology. The other thing to consider is whether you need a 1080 high definition option or 720p HD option. Higher screen resolution provide better graphic experience for gamer. It can also provide better option for watching movie.
3. Memory or RAM – previous laptop system only has 2 GB RAM, with new system 4GB RAM has become standard especially if you are using Windows 7 or Vista 64 bit. More Memory RAM can also provide a boost for gaming experience.
4. Video card – Most laptop only provide a standard integrated graphic card such as Integrated Intel HD such as Intel X4500HD. To get better gaming experience, a discrete graphic option is preferable. A discrete graphic option such as Nvidia or ATI can provide better frame rate performance for gaming.
