Top 10 Gaming Laptops in 2016

Investing endless hours finding all the right components and locking them into place sounds like a chore. You don't want to "build" a computer. You'd rather get to the fun part: actually playing games. Luckily, there are more than enough gaming laptops on the market to choose from.

The convenience of taking your rig on the go, complete with a built-in monitor and keyboard isn't cheap, however. On the low end, a decent notebook will set you back about ₹ 95056.43.For the best PC games at 4K with consistent frame rates, you can expect to shell out over ₹ 203692.35 for qualifying hardware.

Fortunately, this could soon change thanks to AMD's low-cost Polaris GPUs and high-powered Zen processors. Plus, with Nvidia producing tiny supercomputers efficient enough to power self-driving cars, surely the perfection of mobile graphics is next in the cards.

Here you'll find the gaming laptop that's best for you, from the ever-evolving Asus ROG Strix GL502 to the ostensibly immortal Alienware 17 .

The list of top 10 gaming laptop in 2016 given below:

Note that all prices given below are entry level price (minimum configuration) of respective laptops.

1. Origin EON15-X

CPU: Intel Core i5 - i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 - 1070 | RAM: 8GB - 64GB | Screen: 15.6-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) - UHD (3840 x 2160) LED Backlit Matte Display | Storage: 120GB - 1TB SSD; 500GB - 2TB HDD; 1TB SSHD

Cost: ₹173119.16

When it comes to gaming laptops, carrying a little more junk in the trunk isn't necessarily a bad thing. Case in point: the Origin Eon15-X which features a frame-rate-shredding Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPU with an Intel Core i7 processor. What the 7.2-pound gaming behemoth gives up in slimness, it makes up for with knockout performance, a comfortable keyboard and an attractive design.

The Origin EON15-X is a real head turner. Packing a desktop Skylake processor into a fairly compact 15.6-inch notebook that, Origin's greatest offers even more performance than some full-size gaming rigs.

This extra CPU power is handy for users who need to edit video and other processor intensive tasks that a mobile chip can't handle. You'll also get an extra kick of performance no matter what game you're running. Combined with a powerful GPU and a not-so-shabby battery life, the Origin EON15-X is definitely worth consideration over all others.

2. Asus ROG Strix GL502

CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 - 1070 | RAM: 16GB DDR4 | Screen: 15.6-inch full HD 1,920 x 1,080 IPS | Storage: 128GB - 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD

Cost: ₹83,690.00

Asus' ROG Strix was already a gaming beast, nabbing a vaunted 4 stars in a  review. But with its latest refresh, the Strix GL50VS-DB71, the  notebook is gunning for the top of the gaming-laptop mountain. Armed with its new Nvidia GTX 1070 GPU, the 15-inch Strix is now lean, mean and oh, so VR-ready. However, a short battery life and a few other issues keep the Strix from ascending to gaming-laptop glory.

The Asus Strix GL502 may not boast the most innovative design, swapping out the usual black and red color scheme for one that makes it feel like Halloween all-year-round. But, it's undoubtedly one of the best when it comes to gaming in 1080p. In fact, we were able to crank the settings all the way up in Overwatch without taking a hit below 60fps. The battery life is janky, sure, but the screen, performance and onboard sound system more than make up for it.

3. Lenovo Ideapad Y700

CPU: Intel Core i5 - i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M 2GB - 4GB DDR5 VRAM | RAM: 8GB - 16GB DDR4 (2,133MHz) | Screen: 15.6-inch FHD LED AntiGlare Backlit Multitouch (1,920 x 1,080) | Storage: 128GB - 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD (5,400 RPM)

Cost: ₹90,875.00

The Ideapad Y700 series succeeds the previous 14-inch Y40, 15.6-inch Y50, and 17.3-inch Y70. Thus, the Y700 name consists of SKUs ranging from 14-inch all the way up to 17.3-inch with a diverse set of configuration options each.

Our Y700 today is the 15.6-inch touchscreen version with Intel Skylake and Nvidia GTX 960M graphics. AMD components are again limited to the 14-inch version, so Radeon fans will have to settle for the smaller Y700. Last year's Y50 was decent enough, but it has already become outdated in the face of recent competitors like the Alienware 15 R2, MSI GE62, and Asus GL552.

Entry-level gaming laptops are a great introduction into the glorious world of PC gaming, and from performance to looks, it's hard to beat the Lenovo Ideapad Y700. It's an inexpensive machine that stands out amongst other budget gaming machines with its all metal chassis and included SSD. It also comes packed with enough power to run modern games at decent settings.

4. MSI GS60 Ghost Pro

CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 3GB - 6GB GDDR5 VRAM, Intel HD Graphics 530 | RAM: 16GB DDR4 | Screen: 15.6-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) - UHD (3840 x 2160) eDP Wide View Angle | Storage: 128GB - 256GB SSD; 1TB HDD

Cost: ₹.115457.37

MSI’s GS60 is an old standby in the gaming laptop world. The system receives periodic refreshes – a new GPU here, some extra SSD options there – but never really sees a complete refresh. That’s not always a bad thing.

And in that respect, the GS60 stays the course. It has a new Skylake processor, and a GTX 970M with 3GB of memory. Apart from that, not much has changed, for better or worse. Our review unit also packs in 16GB of RAM, a 128GB M.2 drive and a 1TB mechanical data drive, with a 15.6-inch 1080p display.

The upshot is that the GS60 has a chance to shine in a market where other laptops makers will charge you an arm and a leg for premium performance.

With a knack for style and a featherlight exterior, the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro is among the slimmest gaming laptops you can find. That said, don't confuse thinness with compromised performance, as the Skylake CPU perfectly marries the still-impressive GTX 970M so long as you're playing at 1080p on medium to high graphics settings. Sure, it's not a top-end pick, but your wallet will thank you for that.

5. Gigabyte P57X

CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB GDDR5 memory) | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Screen: 17.3-inch, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS LCD | Storage: 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD

Cost: ₹108598.48

Gaming laptops got a shot in the arm this summer when Nvidia announced that its GeForce GTX 10-series GPUs would be going mobile without the "M." Laptop manufacturers have since been able to slot full-fat versions of Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080, GTX 1070, and GTX 1060 graphics processors into their machines without forcing buyers to break out the decoder ring to figure out what's changed between those parts and the desktop versions of the chips—mostly.

With Pascal-equipped laptops now available from basically every major manufacturer, it's a good time to study how well these notebooks fulfill their promises. Can this next generation of mobile graphics chips truly deliver desktop-class performance within the tight confines of a laptop chassis? To help us answer that question, Gigabyte kindly provided us with a P57X v6 laptop equipped with a mobile GeForce GTX 1070.

The Gigabyte P57X v6 is one of the hardiest, single-GPU Pascal performers money can buy at the moment. Nothing about the Gigabyte P57X is a tough sell until you get down to the price, similar to what you would have paid for two GTX 970- or 980Ms in years prior. Of course, on a laptop, you don't want to dual-wield GPUs, which is what makes the P57X so enticing. The P57X v6 isn't the most stylish or innovative gaming PC, but it offers more than enough power to get you through a 1080p gaming session.

6. Asus ROG G752

CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M - 980M | RAM: 16GB - 64GB DDR4 | Screen: 17.3-inch, full HD 1,920 x 1,080, IPS LCD | Storage: 128GB - 512GB SSD; 1TB HDD (7,200rpm)

Cost: ₹99835.90

The days of needing a fully loaded gaming desktop to play PC games at their full potential are dwindling. Just take a look at Asus' ROG G752 notebook , which provides high-end performance within its monstrous yet sleekly self-contained design. The G752's Nvidia GTX 970M GPU can handle just about any game you throw at it, and the notebook's G-Sync functionality ensures that you can play your favorite titles with no nasty screen tears. Factor in its suite of handy gaming software, and you've got a beefy laptop that's worth your attention " so long as you have the cash and space for it, that is.

The Asus ROG G752 has an aggressive design that sets it apart from many of the world's sedate gaming laptops. Instead of donning the typical appearance of black plastic, the ROG G752 sports a shell with brushed aluminium panels, angular lines and the glowing red segments. On top of its in-your-face styling this 17-inch gaming laptop delivers a hefty performance and it can play modern games at a smooth clip even if you put the graphical setting to max. The only thing the Asus ROG G752 is missing is the option of a high-res 4K display.

7. Razer Blade

CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M (6GB GDDR5 VRAM) | RAM: 16GB | Screen: 14-inch QHD+ (3,200 x 1,800) IGZO (LED backlit, multi-touch) | Storage: 256GB - 512GB PCIe SSD

Cost: ₹115456.01

 Year after year, the company manages to feng shui ridiculously powerful components into a space that's only 0.7-inches thick. This time around, the company managed to squeeze the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU into the mix, creating a VR-ready, 14-inch monster that's crouched and ready to strike. If that wasn't enough, this latest iteration of the Blade is priced at an aggressive , putting it into direct competition with the likes of Alienware and MSI. But when you've got a gaming laptop this pretty and this powerful -- the choice seems clear.

Hugely improved battery life Thunderbolt 3 a smart add Minor graphical upgrades Limited part options

For many gamers, Ultrabook is a four-letter word. But, it doesn't have to be, and this is evident the first time you get your hands on a Razer Blade. With a battery life of 3 hours and 35 minutes while gaming (or six hours of non-stop video), Razer Blade puts the laptop back in gaming laptop. While it does compromise as far as graphics are concerned, you can hook up a Razer Core and strap a Titan X inside if you want.

8. Origin EON17-SLX

CPU: Intel Core i5 - i7 | Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 - 1080 | RAM: 8GB - 64GB | Screen: 17.3-inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) - UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Matte Display with G-SYNC | Storage: 120GB - 4TB SSD, 500GB - 1TB HDD, 1TB SSHD

Cost: ₹302160.51

With the updated Eon17-SLX, Origin PC didn't just throw caution to the wind -- it mulched and pulverized it first. Thanks to Nvidia's new Pascal GPUs, the company is refreshing its already awesome line of notebooks with the 10 Series branch. The  base model in this series starts with an overclocked Intel Core i7 processor, a 4K display and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU.

The laptop outfitted with an overclocked 4.5-GHz Core i7, desktop CPU; a stunning 4K Nvidia G-Sync display; a crazy-fast pair of PCI-e solid-state drives; and two VR-ready, extremely powerful GTX 1080 GPUs. My resulting time with the souped-up behemoth was full of speedy game launches, inordinately high frame rates and smooth VR experiences. The only slight downside was the incredibly short battery life. Overall, using the Eon17-SLX was a blast, and you should experience this machine if you can spend the money.

Nearly unrivalled performance Sharp, aggressive styling awful battery life, astonishingly heavy

The Origin EON17-SLX takes gaming laptops to their ultimate conclusion of being portable desktops. This 17-inch notebook comes packed with a desktop-grade Intel processor and Nvidia GPU chip, making it one of history's most powerful mobile machines. Of course, it comes with the sacrifice of portability in both weight and battery life. If these are worthy trade-offs for greater performance, you won't find a better machine whether you're a hardcore gamer to in the media creation business.

9. MSI GT80 Titan

CPU: 5th gen Intel Core i7 | Graphics: 2 x Nvidia GTX 980M SLI (16 GB GDDR5); Intel HD Graphics 4600 | RAM: 16GB - 24GB | Screen: 18.4-inch WLED FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare Display | Storage: 256GB SSD; 1TB HDD (7,200 RPM)

Cost: ₹230848.18

MSI's GT80 Titan SLI is the first laptop to feature a mechanical keyboard that we know of since the 1980s. The other big cost is the actual cost. That means you're definitely paying a hefty premium for the GT80 Titan SLI, but you're really getting desktop-like performance and that slick mechanical keyboard.

Authentic mechanical keyboard, easily upgraded H-E-A-V-Y Impossible to use on your lap,

The MSI GT80 Titan goes above and beyond to give gamers a desktop experience in a notebook with a complement of high-performance parts to a built-in mechanical keyboard. However, weighing in at nearly 10 pounds and measuring roughly two-inches thick, this laptop is seriously pushing the limits of what you can call portable. For all the strain it'll put on your back and wallet, though, this 18.4-inch gaming laptop absolutely plow through almost any graphically intense game you try to run. This gaming behemoth proved to be a monster with the best in class mobile GPUs so we can't even fathom what it could do with a Nvidia GTX 980 .

10. Alienware 17

CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 - 980M | RAM: 8GB - 32GB | Screen: 17.3 inch, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) - UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS anti-glare display | Storage: 128GB - 512GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD (7,200 rpm)

Cost: ₹ 1,39,999.00

Supercharged hardware that's ready for VR. The Alienware 17 is one of a new wave of laptops set to run Nvidia's new Pascal graphics cards. Specifically, Alienware will be offering it with either the Nvidia GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 GPU. The 1070 seen in the Alienware 17 will have 1,920 CUDA cores and a 1,645MHz clock speed

Flexible desktop mode, excellent large screen, still quite expensive, slightly bottlenecked Amplifier performance

The Alienware 17 is one of those few outrageously priced gaming laptops that's actually worth it. The notebook is a fully capable gaming machine on its own, but with the added power of desktop graphics through the GPU Amplifier it can play almost any game on Ultra settings.If you're looking for something smaller, the Alienware 13 also works with the optional GPU box.
