Think a gaming laptop is out of your price range?
Think again. In this guide, we’ll show you how to score a budget laptop in Malaysia that can handle popular games without breaking the bank.
What Makes a Laptop Suitable for Gaming?
A good gaming laptop doesn’t need to be brand new or RM5,000+. You just need:
- Dedicated GPU (NVIDIA or AMD)
- Intel i5 / i7 or AMD Ryzen 5 / 7
- At least 8GB RAM
- SSD storage for faster load times
- Good thermal control and screen refresh rate
Used gaming laptops with these specs can still run popular titles like Dota 2, Valorant, CS2, Genshin Impact, and Fortnite smoothly.
