There are plenty of laptops with 9th gen Nvidia cards but the latest gaming laptops are coming <a href=\"http:\/\/wccftech.com\/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-1070-computex-2016\/\">with 10th gen cards<\/a>. Also, the Intel has released a few <a href=\"http:\/\/ark.intel.com\/products\/family\/95544\/7th-Generation-Intel-Core-i7-Processors\">7th gen processors<\/a> and that raises a question &#8211; should you wait or should you get what&#8217;s the best right now? And what laptops are the best?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In the guide, I&#8217;ll focus on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.counter-strike.net\/\">Counter Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> and which laptops are best for it. In that case, you might not even need a brand spanking new laptop with 1080 SLI. That would be an overkill.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  To make matters simple, I&#8217;ve split it into 2 parts: requirements for a CS:GO laptop and what laptops are the best.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline-fill\">What to keep in mind<\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">Budget<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  The cheapest laptops that can run CS:GO smoothly on low graphics settings cost ~$600. How much above that you want to go depends on the visual settings you want to play on.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The final price tag can skyrocket if you want to play <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GlobalOffensive\/\">CS:GO<\/a> above Full HD resolution and you want to stream it through Twitch, Azubu or etc.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">What processor is needed?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  Processor is the #1 specification that decides how well CS:GO will run. You&#8217;d guess it&#8217;s the graphics card, but CS:GO relies quite a bit on the CPU and laptop GPUs can reach very similar performance compared to desktop models (not taking possible overclocking and SLI setups into account).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Of course, we&#8217;re looking at nothing less than a 5th gen Intel processor, though 6th generation processors are the most common. There are a few laptops with 7th gen processors but you definitely do not need to insist on getting one.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  There are 3 relevant classes of processors that we should take into consideration:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>i5 U-series (minimum)<\/li>\n<li>i5 HQ-series and i7 U-series (recommended)<\/li>\n<li>i7 HQ\/HK-series (best)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  If you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/best-laptop-for-streaming\/\">stream on Twitch or Youtube<\/a> from time to time &#8211; look for HQ\/HK processor. Otherwise &#8211; i5 HQ or i7 U-series processor will do just fine.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">Ideal amount of RAM for CS:GO<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  Our starting point is 8 GB of RAM. Having less than 8 GB might cause some slight lag when multitasking. The 2 most obvious instances are alt-tabbing from CS:GO to other software and using 10s of tabs in web browser.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Do you need 16 GB? It depends. I would say that most gamers these days should go for 16 GB. And anyways, if you&#8217;re targeting at ~$1000 &#8211; getting 16 gigs of memory is basically mandatory.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">GPU<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  GPU becomes very important only when you want to play on high visual settings and on high resolutions (above 1920&#215;1080).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  For simply running CS:GO on medium graphics, even an integrated graphics card will suffice.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  There&#8217;s really no reason to go for anything more than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/hardware\/notebook-gpus\/geforce-gtx-960m\">Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M<\/a>. You might want to go for GeForce 1050 or 1060 if you want to play more demanding games, but unless you&#8217;re searching for a <a href=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/oculus-rift-laptop\/\">VR laptop<\/a> or a laptop for 4K gaming &#8211; all additional power will go entirely to waste.\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline-fill\">Secondary<\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">Solid State Drive for CS:GO<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  I&#8217;m a big fan of SSDs. But for gaming they are not critical. But they are an essential piece of general computer responsiveness. Nowadays, old-school spinning HDDs are the main bottleneck for any I\/O bound task which is nearly everything apart from gaming and raw computational work.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Compared to regular hard drives, SSDs still cost a pretty penny. But these days, when most of the music and video is streamed and not downloaded &#8211; even a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tomshardware.co.uk\/answers\/id-2936416\/long-samsung-evo-850-ssd.html\">250 GB SSD can go a long way<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  If you&#8217;re searching for a larger machine &#8211; 15.6&#8243; to 17.3&#8243; laptop &#8211; you&#8217;ll probably have an option of SSD + HDD setup. That is ideal if you want speed and a lot of space for files. But if you don&#8217;t need that much &#8211; having only an SSD will save you on price, weight and battery life.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Let&#8217;s talk numbers. I would strongly advise getting at least 250 GB SSD. These start at $500. Meanwhile, 500 GB can be found in laptops starting at $850 (if we ignore a few outliers that have insufficient CPU for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive\">CS:GO<\/a>). But if you want a discrete GPU, i7 GPU, 16 GB of RAM and at least average battery life and display quality on top of the 500 GB SSD &#8211; you&#8217;ll need at least $1200. There are a few ways to hack down this price to ~$950 by manually upgrading RAM and SSD.\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"headline-label\">Battery Life<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n  Battery life for gaming is mostly is irrelevant, however making sure you have enough power when you are not playing CS:GO is a sensible decision. Since we don&#8217;t need a laptop with the best CPU or GPU, we can expect to reach 5-7 hours on some of the notebooks. Just don&#8217;t forget that this figure translates to 1-2.5 hours of gaming.\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"headline-fill\">4 Best CS:GO Laptops<\/h2>\n<div class=\"laptop-section\" id=\"laptop-1\" data-thumbnail-url=\"https:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-76YK-64x64.jpg\" data-number=\"1\" data-asin=\"\"><div class=\"row\"><h4 class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/287RthB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Acer Aspire E 15 (E5-575G-76YK)<\/a><\/h4><div class=\"laptop-number\">1<\/div><em class=\"subtitle\">Cheap and Performant Laptop for CS:GO<\/em><img src=\"http:\/\/picknotebook.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Acer-Aspire-E-15-E5-575G-76YK.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"406\"\/><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"small-12 large-12 columns\"><a class=\"button button-link\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/287RthB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View on Amazon<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"pickrow\"><div class=\"name\">Price<\/div><div class=\"value\">$700<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"laptop-specs\"><span class=\"laptop-spec good\">i7-6500U<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">940MX 2GB<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec great\">8GB RAM<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">250 GB SSD<\/span> | <span class=\"laptop-spec decent\">15.6&#8243;
