When it comes to playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO)<\/strong>, every single millisecond matters, and having a laggy, low FPS laptop can make the difference between winning and losing. As a die-hard CS:GO player<\/strong>, I've done the hard work of researching and testing all types of laptops to help you find the best laptop for CS:GO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this comprehensive guide, I'll walk you through the key aspects you need to consider before purchasing a laptop for CS:GO. From processor<\/strong> and graphics card<\/strong> to screen resolution<\/strong> and refresh rate<\/strong>, we'll cover everything you need to know. I've also put together a list of the top 10 best laptops for CS:GO<\/strong>, ranging from budget to high-end gaming laptops. So whether you're a casual or professional player, this guide has got you covered. Let's jump into it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Processor<\/h2>\n

First and foremost, I want to talk about the importance of CPU for CS:GO before I jump to exact recommendations. As you might know, some recently released games, such as Cyberpunk 2077, rely entirely on the GPU, and the CPU is standing on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the situation in CS:GO is the exact opposite – limited processor's performance can very quickly bottleneck FPS. If you want to play CS:GO on a high-refresh-rate display or simply with an off-the-charts framerate – a great CPU will pay back in spades.<\/p>\n

Requirements<\/h3>\n

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive relies heavily on your CPU's single-core performance.<\/strong> That's why I recommend getting a laptop with at least a mid-range CPU (Intel Core i5\/AMD Ryzen 5), preferably not from a power-efficient lines (for example Intel U-series).<\/p>\n

If you want an immoderate framerate to take advantage of a 144Hz+ panel – you'll need a Core 7 or even Ryzen 7\/9. In particular, I'd recommend the latest Intel's 11th generation and Ryzen's 5th generation.<\/strong> Sadly these are in short supply, so an Intel 10th gen and Ryzen 4th gen are excellent options for a mid-range laptop.<\/p>\n

Recommendations<\/h3>\n

So, in short, what can I suggest in this sea of options? An excellent place to start is to look for one of the following CPUs:<\/p>\n
