Best Gaming Laptops (2021) - GizmoSlipTech

Last Updated: 12/30/21 My YouTube Channel

My goal is to help everyone find a laptop they will love! When you buy through the links on this sheet, some are affiliate links and help support me and Stephen! So thank you for supporting us!

  1. Use my ratings as a rough guide only. Check detailed reviews for specific details on a laptop before buying.
  2. Best used on desktop browser! Use the Filter button to show only laptops for specific range of price, performance, or deal rating.  
  3. Find specific GPU/CPU/Display by searching with the Filter button within the Model field (i.e. "3060" or "i7-11800H" or "QHD")
  4. Use the Sort button to reorganize the list by Deal Rating, Worth Buying, Price, Performance, Discount, etc. 

Gizmo's Estimate Value - My ballpark value for that laptop vs similar laptop prices over the last six months. 

Worth Buying - How happy I think most people would be with the laptop based on price, premium features, portability, and performance. 

Deal Rating - How good of deal the laptop's specs vs regularly listed retail price.

Quality Rating - Rough rating of Build Quality, Keyboard, Touchpad, Display, RGB, and random extras. 

My goal is to add all available laptops from the below stores, except scalper listings.

Best Buy | BH Photo & Video | NewEgg | Adorama | Amazon | Walmart | HP | Lenovo | Dell
