What's the difference between a laptop and a gaming laptop?

Gaming laptops typically have better processors, graphics cards, and cooling systems than regular laptops. This makes them ideal for gaming, but it also means they tend to be more expensive. However at Student computers you can afford to buy cheap, gaming laptops, thanks to our refurbished range.

What should I look for when buying gaming laptops?

CPU: Depending on your budget, you can get a very powerful Core i7 CPU or even one that you can overclock such as the Intel Core i9-12900HK. You can also find laptops with desktop CPUs. However, most games benefit more from a quality GPU than a CPU so you can get by with a Core i5 processor.

RAM: Gaming can be RAM intensive, and 8GB is what we recommend for even average productivity tasks. If you can, you should go for 16GB on a gaming PC. A laptop with a GTX 3050 or 3050 Ti usually comes with 8GB. Once you get to a GTX 3060 or higher, some will come with 16GB of RAM. If you can’t get your laptop with 16GB of RAM now, consider upgrading it in the near future. Memory is upgradeable in many gaming laptops, so this is an area that you can consider boosting later if you’re handy with a screwdriver.

Storage: A large storage is needed as the latest games tend to require installation of 40GB or more. For quicker loading times, a gaming laptop with an SSD will have you playing in no time at all. We stock laptops with an SSD alongside a HDD and hybrid SSD capacities.

Before you buy your dreamed gaming laptop, please check if you can play your favorite game on it.
