Custom Gaming Laptop Guide: Parts that matter 🔧

Deciding what to upgrade is the hardest part. Prioritise GPU for frame rates and CPU for streaming or editing. For current deals and model comparisons, check Evetech’s curated best gaming laptop deals — they list spec comparisons to help you match GPUs and CPUs to titles and workflows. Every spec page on Evetech shows configuration details so you can compare thermals, display refresh rates and battery life before you buy.

• GPU: Look for a laptop with a dedicated GPU rather than integrated graphics for modern AAA performance.
• CPU: Pick a multicore mobile CPU if you stream or use demanding apps.
• RAM & Storage: 16GB RAM is the practical baseline; NVMe SSDs drastically shorten load times and OS responsiveness.
• Display & Refresh Rate: 1080p at 144Hz is the sweet spot for competitive play; consider 1440p or OLED for visual fidelity.
• Cooling: Good thermals maintain performance during long sessions… don’t buy a thin chassis without testing thermals.

Buying locally means faster support, warranty clarity and ZAR pricing you can budget for. Evetech’s laptop specials are a great place to spot discounted configurations and limited-time bundles that include extra RAM or SSD upgrades. If your work also needs heavier compute, browse workstation laptops to compare mobile workstation class components with gaming-focused builds.

Practical steps to finalise your choice

1. List the top three games or apps you use.
2. Match GPU and CPU importance to that list.
3. Check Evetech product pages for thermals, display and port layout.
4. Read the local warranty terms and delivery times.
5. Buy upgrades (RAM/SSD) as part of the checkout if the saving beats after-market prices.

A short micro-story: I once recommended a friend choose a slightly heavier chassis with better airflow over a thinner, flashier model. He kept stable FPS in long raids and avoided a mid-season laptop upgrade. Durable thermals beat flashy looks every time for marathon sessions.

Final checklist before checkout

• Confirm RAM and SSD upgrade paths.
• Verify the display panel type and refresh rate.
• Look for dual-channel memory configurations.
• Read the local return and warranty policy on the product page.
