[April 2025] Amazon France: Top 9 Best-Selling Gaming Laptops – MSI Katana Still Rules, But Value Reigns Supreme!

With the rise of inflation, budget gaming notebooks are no longer very affordable. However, manufacturers have done their fair share of the price increase, by making these products with higher-quality materials.In addition to that, NVIDIA and Intel introduced an incredibly powerful lineup of GPUs and CPUs recently, but again - they are no longer the bargain they used to be. On the bright side, even the RTX 4050 (which now finally comes with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM) is capable of crushing every game at 1080p and max settings.The laptop we're going to talk about today is the ASUS TUF Gaming F[...]

With the LOQ 15i (Gen 9), Lenovo is trying to take the crown for the best not-so-expensive laptop. This device can cause a revolution in the budget segment thanks to its fair price and great hardware under the bonnet. The machine is jam-packed. You can find it with Raptor Lake HX or HX Refresh CPUs with a 55W base power. The GPU variants also look good - one RTX 3000 model and two Ada Lovelace chips with decent TGPs.The device has a standard 15.6 form factor. That's why the display aspect ratio is 16:9. The base panel is a 1080p model with a 144Hz refresh rate which sounds fine for this pr[...]

The TUF Gaming series is quite interesting. It offers both Intel and AMD options, which are easily distinguished by their name. In our case, it is the TUF Gaming A17 (FA707, 2023).Finally, we are going to get a real taste of the proper Ryzen 7000 experience in the variant of a Ryzen 9 7940HS. It is based on the Zen 4 architecture, which is built on a 4nm node.It will be interesting how will the efficiency stack against the Intel counterpart. Ultimately, the gaming performance is something much more needed in the case of the TUF Gaming A17 (A707, 2023).In addition to that, the top-[...]

The Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-41) is meant for budget-conscious gamers who want to play their favorite titles without breaking the bank. This laptop isn't a powerhouse but it's offered with decently snappy AMD Zen 3+ CPUs (Rembrandt-HS Refresh) and with a plethora of different GPUs including NVIDIA RTX 2000, 3000, and 4000 chips. The upgradability is surprisingly good for the class as well as the port selection with its 4 USB connectors.The capabilities of the two-fan cooling are enhanced thanks to the lid with a lever design and the inlet keyboard. There are no high-res displays here so you [...]

Even though Victus is not HP's most affordable gaming brand, it actually presents you with the best offers. And a little something tells us that it won't be only seasonal.In fact, the Victus 15 (15-fb0000) can be your best way to enter the gaming world. In particular, the 15-fb0000 comes with AMD CPUs from the last generation - Ryzen 5 5600H, and Ryzen 7 5800H. This is great, because these processors are still very powerful, and are pretty easy to cool.Graphics-wise, your choices are a bit limited. You won't be able to get anything more powerful than an RTX 3050 Ti. However, even the [...]

MSI Katana's super budget characteristics are now part of history. The manufacturer has somewhat successfully converted the machine from an affordable to a mid-range product. While the main contributor to this is really NVIDIA, we have a thing or two to say about MSI's own participation.Today, our office smells like a freshly-baked MSI Katana 17 (B12V). Intuitively, the (B12V) part of the name indicates that it has a 12th Gen Intel processor. This means that some cost-cutting is becoming evident only by looking at the specs sheet.In addition to that, the Katana 17 (B12V) can be maxed [...]
