While the world of 4K gaming was previously reserved for massive gaming rigs with custom water-cooling loops and generous amounts of RGB lighting, the latest generation of graphics cards has made high-resolution gaming more accessible than ever before.
While Pascal and Polaris-powered gaming laptops have been slow in making their way over to South Africa, there are a few gaming laptops with 4K displays available from local retailers.
