If money was no object, a gaming laptop would be in the arsenal of all gamers.<\/p>\n

Below is a selection of the best gaming laptops currently available in South Africa, along with their online retail prices to make your bank account cringe.<\/p>\n

We used NotebookCheck\u2019s charts<\/a><\/strong> of the top 10 gaming notebooks for April 2016 to make a list of the 5 best gaming laptops available in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Local retail prices were obtained from Rebel Tech, Computers Only, Evetech, and WebAntics.<\/p>\n

MSI Dominator GT72S<\/h3>\n

Although the MSI GT72S 6QF model listed on NotebookCheck wasn\u2019t available at the local retailers we checked, the almost identical 6QE model was.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have the standard GeForce GTX980, but NotebookCheck said the 6QE would rank similarly to the 6QF.<\/p>\n

Computers Only has a version without Heroes of the Storm branding, with a 4GB GeForce GTX 980M, no SSDs, and a Intel Core i7 6820HQ processor for R45,399<\/a>.<\/p>\n
