I’ve been reviewing laptops for years, and I’ve learned that I must temper my expectations for gaming laptops. If you’re spending $1,500 on a standard productivity laptop, in most cases, you can expect something that feels great to touch and properly reflects the cold hard cash you just dropped on it.
Gaming laptops aren’t quite the same. You can spend $1,500 and be left with a cheap feeling, plastic monstrosity weighed down by a terrible display. In fact, it’s equally common to be stuck with a $3,599 gaming laptop boasting an easily bendable base, underwhelming brightness and poor battery life, whereas you can get one of the best feeling, lightest 2-in-1 laptops for half that price.
