Gaming Laptops, PCs & Peripherals – Buyers Guide

Buying a Gaming Laptop

When it comes to buying a high performing gaming laptop you need to find something that has a powerful processor, fast SSD with plenty of storage, and a decent sized screen with a high-quality graphics card.

The same applies when choosing a gaming PC to suit your needs but with the added necessity of selecting a Full HD gaming monitor with a high refresh rate.

Our gaming computer customers frequently fall into two categories:

• The passionate gamer who enjoys owning a fully kitted out gaming laptop which will very likely have a powerful processor, LED lights, RGB keyboard and looks like it’s ready to take on the gaming world.
• Someone that will be only using a laptop for gaming on an infrequent basis. It performs as a gaming machine with a good processor and graphics card. With a lower profile look, you don’t stand out in the boardroom or the lecture hall.

RGB Lighting

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) lighting is hugely popular with hardcore gaming enthusiasts who often choose to play in dimly lit rooms to create a more atmospheric vibe in their home gaming environment. Many gaming products are equipped with RGB lighting including monitors, mice, monitor stands, headsets and keyboards.

Gaming Mice

When it comes to those equipment point-of-difference choices that can really boost your gaming success, owning the right gaming mouse can make a big difference to your gameplay and ability to win. For top of the range performance, invest in something that has minimal click latency, has programmable buttons, a smart sensor to ensure high IPS tracking speed across the 200 – 16,000 DPI range, it needs to be light, durable and most importantly, ergonomic.

WiFi Routers & Mesh Networking
