Buying tips

For gaming, the graphics card matters most, followed by RAM: 16 GB is a comfortable start, and 8 GB may need an upgrade. A 144 Hz or 165 Hz screen feels smoother in fast games. Check whether the RAM can be upgraded, and remember that US laptops have a US keyboard and warranty terms that may differ.
