Don't Buy The Wrong Gaming Laptop CPU in 2018!

With Coffee Lake, Kaby Lake-G, and Ryzen mobile APU available this year, this is a guide to help you purchase the best gaming laptop CPU for your needs.

Coffee Lake H is going to be a BEAST with 6 core 12 thread CPUs.
Kaby Lake - G brings an impressive CPU and GPU combination to the market. Those devices can be 17mm thin with low weight while having good performance for 1080p gaming.
AMD Ryzen Mobile is a low wattage (15w) APU that can still deliver solid gaming performance in thin and light ultrabooks.

If you're planning on upgrading this year, which CPU do you think you'll go for?

"Kidney" i see what you did there 4:06

I wish razer put the 100W version of the intel+vega combo inside their systems. I know it wouldn't be a performance upgrade, but it would be a massive thermal improvement..

[CKTDanny]

Glad to see all these great options this year! I hope the trend continues

Hey Dave, make a video for college laptops with mediocre gaming use. Ty!

[geekinginandout]

The way they teamed up will give so many artists needing a mobile workstation with powerful cpu and fast gpu. really cool stuff

[MESHQuality]

I don't think you can get a GTX 1070 laptop for $1, 200. The cheapest refurbished GTX 1070 laptop I've seen was around $1, 400.

Epic video! Prices are much higher here in Italy sadly, but all the points made still stand.

I just ordered a laptop with a i7 8700 desktop CPU, gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ram and a m.2 ssd. I'm so hyped.

[Ryuseigan]

Suggest laptops for below 800, below 1000, just above 1000dollars and a high end one

[maxbondarchuk]

Briefly and very easily summed up all the results for 2018, great wotk!

[swegattyswooty]

Only relative tech channel who actually talks about the TECH Which I am looking for....

All other tech channel is all about odd devices and out of hand expensive shit....


Thanks Dave you help me a lot buying stuff ...

[dirtybee]

Still getting an i5 7300hq gaming laptop.

[PsychoKern]

What if I'm already out of kidneys to pay with tho

[kwinzman]

One of the best and most information dense videos you have put out recently.

I'm looking forward to see your reviews on laptops with Ryzen Mobile APUs! Especially ones with dual-channel memory.
As these use the same chip as their desktop counterparts (2200g and 2400g) I'm confident that they will improve drivers quickly.
