Best Gaming Laptops (2026): Razer, Asus, Dell, and More

You don’t want any old gaming laptop. Here’s my take on which to get, based on hundreds of hours of testing.

Best Gaming Laptops (2026): Razer, Asus, Dell, and More

In the world of gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 14 stand out as the ultimate minimalist options. Both models boast a sleek, aluminum construction, slim bezels, and few vents that embody the modern style of contemporary PC gaming. While the Blade 16 offers a more powerful RTX 5090 graphics card, the Blade 14 provides strong performance with the RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 at a more accessible price point.

For those seeking a balance between portability and performance, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and G16 offer high-end features like high-resolution OLED displays and powerful RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 graphics. The Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 10 is another top performer, featuring a glossy OLED display and either RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080. Lastly, the Lenovo LOQ 15 and MSI Cyborg A15 provide affordable yet powerful gaming experiences, with the LOQ 15 being particularly noteworthy for its combination of performance and affordability.
