10 Best Laptops for Gaming and Work

Introduction

The basic rule to lead a healthy and happy life – balance in everything. Balancing between your work and your passion, healthy and your favorite junk food to make life more exciting. This balancing rule will even apply to choosing laptops.

These days, almost for every work you need a laptop. Programming, graphic designs, animations, CADD, music productions, architectural work, streaming, you name it.

You need some kind of relaxation after work to keep your mind fresh, to help you give you innovative thoughts when you have writer’s block, or to let go of the stress. Not everyone likes to read books, not everyone likes traveling, some of us like to play games. Ah, the adrenaline, the tasks, the level-ups, the team plays, the victory, it is a different world away from the reality we gamers like to be in.

When I was in college, my roommate had a gaming laptop and I had a standard work type one. We would partner up for presentations. It would be difficult for us to present in the gaming laptop because it will run out of battery during presentations. Also, it was quite heavy for us to carry it around the campus. So we would do all the presentations on my laptop. But gaming on my laptop was impossible. Every game would just crash.

In this article, we give you the 10 best laptops for your daily productivity and office work along with excellent gaming features so you don’t make the same mistake we did.

Here are some of the basic requirements to look out for before diving into the list

Nowadays, not all gaming laptops but most of them will be fairly comfortable for your work. Because gaming laptops tend to have graphic cards which are very important for CADD, graphic design, video editing, animation software.

There isn’t much to choose from Graphic cards. It’s either NVIDIA or RADEON and you can’t go wrong with either. If you are leaning more towards heavy work and less gaming go for NVIDIA, or if more games just some office stuff go with RADEON.

Look out for cores between 6 to 8. 4 cores are good for basic tasks, 6 are for video editing, and multiple tasks. 6 to 8 is for heavy work like animations, music productions, architectural work.

RAM – minimum of 8 – 16 GB. If you can get 32 GB, it is much better.
