LaptopMag<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has published its best laptops of 2016, based on review scores which measure a variety of factors.<\/p>\n

Laptops are rated best in certain categories in order to account for more specialised devices, although there is also a single category for best overall gaming laptop.<\/p>\n

With the release of Nvidia and AMD’s new generations of graphics cards, this list showcases an impressive variance across multiple hardware generations, detailing the constant balance between performance and practicality which gaming laptop manufacturers have perfected.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that South African pricing is not available for all products, with some yet to release in the country and some no longer in stock.<\/p>\n
