"That breadth of choices means choosing a gaming laptop in 2025 isn't simple. While picking any option from our Best Gaming Laptops guide is a good place to start, you still might not end up with a gaming laptop perfectly suited for your needs. Having tested many gaming laptops in over a decade of reviewing products, I'll break down each element of these spendy machines to lead you in the right direction, as well as explain what to expect from the major laptop brands."
"16-inch is the happy medium. Though they are large laptops, they give the powerful gaming hardware enough space for the thermals to breathe. Having a larger screen is certainly not a bad thing either. These 16-inch gaming laptops replaced the 15.6-inch gaming laptops of the past, which used a 16:9 aspect ratio screen. With a few exceptions, most modern displays use a 16:10 aspect ratio display with thinner bezels."
Gaming laptops now vary from high-performance, thick machines to thin, design-focused models, and include gaming tablets and 2-in-1s. Buyers should weigh display size, with common options of 14-, 16-, and 18-inch; 16-inch models often strike a balance between screen real estate and thermal capacity. Modern displays tend toward 16:10 aspect ratios and thinner bezels compared with older 16:9 panels. Larger chassis offer more thermal headroom, while some manufacturers produce thin 16-inch designs or thicker, performance-oriented variants. Choice depends on prioritizing performance, portability, thermals, battery life, and budget.
