Thanks to major advances in components, it is now possible to enjoy an immersive gaming experience while staying mobile.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key components to look out for<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ultra-powerful processors<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most recent models come with <\/span>latest-generation Core i7 processors<\/b>, sometimes even unlocked for overclocking. <\/span>16 to 32 GB<\/b> of RAM lets you run multiple tasks with no noticeable lag.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-end dedicated graphics cards<\/span><\/h3>\n

To play on ultra settings, a <\/span>dedicated graphics card<\/b> such as a GeForce GTX 1060, 1070 or 1080 is essential. Some models like the <\/span>Gigabyte Aorus X9 v7<\/b> even feature <\/span>GTX 1070 SLI<\/b>, delivering massively increased graphics power.<\/span><\/p>\n

SSD storage: guaranteed speed<\/span><\/h3>\n

SSDs have replaced old mechanical hard drives. The result: <\/span>shorter loading times<\/b>, better responsiveness and lower power consumption. The <\/span>Gigabyte Aero 15<\/b> comes with a 512 GB SSD.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backlit keyboards: gaming comfort<\/span><\/h3>\n
