For gaming, specifically, we found the Acer Predator 17 X<\/a>\u00a0to be the best. The Asus ROG Strix GL753VD<\/a>\u00a0and MSI GE72 Apache Pro-003<\/a>\u00a0returned as the best 17-inch laptops for video editing and programming respectively.<\/p>\n For us here, our lives are all about laptops and computers. For more than 8 hours each day in the past 8 years, we are either going through products or sticking around computers which we use for various tasking jobs such as coding and programming, image and video editing and of course\u00a0heavy graphics gaming during leisure hours. What this means is that we have come to fully understand exactly what it means to be a frequent PC user and are able to tell what makes a good laptop in general, not just the 17-inch.<\/p>\n To pick out the best 17-inch laptop, we took the time to go through as much as 27 various 17-inch laptops. We also got feedback from people who have used these laptops for a while, for gaming, video editing, programming etc.\u00a0It is from all these that we are able to come up with these as the best 17-inch laptops. Apart from the standard expectations like the processor type and speed, graphic card, memory, display, keyboard, and storage, we also looked out for the actual performance of these laptops under intense and regular use, if they heat up with prolonged use, screen resolution (comparing what’s on paper with how image and picture qualities were perceived and visualized, weight, ergonomic design and many more factors that make a good 17-inch laptop.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Acer Predator 17 X<\/a> Asus ROG Strix GL753VD<\/a> MSI GE72 Apache Pro-003<\/a> Asus ROG Strix GL702VM<\/a><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Majority of 17-inch laptops are made for gaming. This, however, doesn’t mean that all are actually great for gaming. In fact, some there are some that although carry the tag “gaming laptops,” still performed outright bad. Good gaming laptops are supposed to have a good processor, graphic cards, enough space, and in fact, their build should be durable as they are going to become horses for heavy gamers.<\/p>\n The most important in this line is your graphics card. At the moment, the Nvidia has it better than the AMD. For the storage, although you can do with your HDD that is as high as 500 GB, having a very good SSD<\/a> would be best. What is on the mind of veteran gamers right now will be how Acer has emerged with various powerful gaming laptops, as it has no history with that. That too is the question we have been asking.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, since taking it upon its shoulders to delve into the gaming world, it has been somewhat of a predator above most laptops produced by others. That in fact, is the same with the Predator 17 X.<\/p>\n This big monster of a laptop\u00a0has\u00a0so many things going for it in features, performance, and of course, beauty and durability. It has an overclockable Intel Core i7 processor as well as a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU.\u00a0With those, you have a laptop that is prepared to take anything you throw at it and you will have a better performance than normal.<\/p>\n Other things it comes with include a 512GB SSD and a 1TB mechanical drive, and a 32 GB RAM which is simply crazy. Even running at 8 GB ram, you will have a great run for heavy applications and multitasking wouldn’t be any problem; how much more 32 GB RAM?<\/p>\n For the sound, the speakers are designed with two subwoofers. Although they are loud enough, they tend not to output as loud as we would have loved. Hence headphones<\/a> or external speakers shouldn’t be bad for this.<\/p>\n About the battery life, most gaming laptops do not have the best battery life, and with 3hours of battery life, this one is not so different, even though it manages to be better than some laptops in its category.<\/p>\n Looking at the price and the value, even though this is not the cheapest in the market, it plays\u00a0its\u00a0cards quite well. As such the value is quite right if you consider its features and the rock-solid performance it offers.<\/p>\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n When you begin accounting for the entire pennies spent on this, none would go out of place. It is one monster predator that ticks every box placed on its way in the form of performance, features, and endurance.<\/p>\n \n Asus ROG OC Edition<\/a> emerges as something that cares more about aggressive looks than beauty. In many ways, you can as well define it as very masculine. But even as you can end the short story of its looks with that, complimented by the beautiful LED lighting it has, it is only where it begins with its performance. The laptop performs as heavy as it looks and feels.<\/p>\n It is gaming ready in every way including the build of its keyboard and overclocking Intel Core i7 processor it is fitted with. Also, it has a Nvidia’s GTX 1070 graphics card, to give a strong game performance and good 3D gaming experience. It has excellent storage size, just as other features of the laptop are complete enough for heavy duty gaming and intense graphic usage.<\/p>\n Again, battery life on gaming laptops should not be expected to do the unexpected. This only lasts for 4 hours however, it is not only the battery that doesn\u2019t entirely please us; the placement of the keyboard as goes way back leaving more than enough room for palm rest.<\/p>\n The good side of the keyboard, on the other hand, is that the keys are nicely spacious enough to ensure that there\u00a0is\u00a0comfort\u00a0and minimal error.<\/p>\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you can swallow the fact that the speakers are not the best since at least gaming is mostly best with headphones or external speakers, this laptop should be an intelligent buy and you would also be getting something very versatile.<\/p>\n \n There is a particular uniformity with Asus 17-inch laptops, mostly in looks than in performance. With the G751JY, we have seen another thing that Asus could be. This is even as the bulkiness and weight still remain.<\/p>\n The G751JY is designed with some level of beauty and beastly looks. Better than the looks, it has the promise of good performance.<\/p>\n Thanks to the Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, you get better gaming experience as you get a smooth display without any tearing. More so, it has the Nvidia\u2019s GeForce Experience which comes with features to help in game optimization, LED control, and battery boosting.<\/p>\n The Laptop has a 32GB of RAM memory, and a Core i7 processor running at up to 3.6GHz in Turbo mode when overclocked. With that, gaming performance is well enhanced. The storage is good at 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD, but if you don\u2019t feel satisfied, you can easily expand.<\/p>\n Most of the best 17-inch laptops for gaming do not turn out to be very quiet. It is, however, different with this, as it still manages to hold its peace when it comes to noise.<\/p>\n One thing you may likely reach at the end with this is that although new laptops are spinning out very fast to replace old ones, this is one that may last for a long time before having a worthy replacement in the market.<\/p>\n Features<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want something that can as well replace your gaming desktop, this should do, because we do not see it as the best for carrying around. The performance of this laptop is great not only for gaming but also for things including video editing and other complex activities.<\/p>\n\n Check Out Best Laptops You Can Get Under $300<\/a><\/strong> Alienware has, like MSI and Asus, also made a name for itself when considering gaming laptops. Where this hits it very right, apart from enabling you watch your game as you play from different viewing angles, is the fact that it can take on heavy and multiple applications.<\/p>\n With the NVIDIA GeForce GTX, you get realistic gaming experience. You as well get a\u00a0Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution as well as 16:9 aspect ratio.<\/p>\n Another interesting thing is that it gives a good performance with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor. You also have the backing of 1 TB HDD and 128 GB SSD for storage.<\/p>\n Whether you decide to make use of this laptop for gaming or multimedia tasks, you still end up with another good thing apart from the graphics, and that is the sound performance courtesy of its integrated Klipsch speakers which comes with a 2.1 audio configuration and delivers high-quality sound.<\/p>\n Fully game ready, this notebook is designed with Gigabit Ethernet and Killer 1535 Wireless for online multiple gaming support.<\/p>\n The battery life is much better than most others in this category and runs up to 7 hours when carrying out minor activities such as internet browsing. When it comes to gaming, it may run out on you at 4 hours. Essentially, what you get with this is a fair battery performance.<\/p>\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n With this version of Alienware, Dell has done something quite impressive for gamers. From its strong build to tight performance, this is a laptop that we can easily recommend for someone who wants a configurable laptop for gaming. Also, it will serve both light and heavy gamers for a long time, as well as anyone with the need for running heavy tasks.<\/p>\n\n See Also: Best Gaming Motherboards<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n What makes a laptop good for video editing is quite different from what you would need for most things, even though so many gaming laptops have turned out fantastic.<\/p>\n Among things to consider is the size of the screen (17 inch is perfect most especially for those who want desktop editing), the multi-core processor (Core i7 processors are the deal right now), good performing ram and generous space, graphics, and importantly, High-resolution display most especially the 4K display would be adequately complementary. A Republic of Gamers Laptop, the Asus Strix GL753VD is a laptop that has a lot going for it as a graphics, gaming and multimedia powerhouse suitable for video and photo editing.<\/p>\n Apart from its size, the 178 degree viewing angles for its 17.3-inch display comes handy which is excellent for most especially if you need a laptop for desktop video editing.<\/p>\n The laptop didn\u2019t waste too much time in featuring the Pascal mainstream graphics chips which Nvidia released not long ago. Couple that with Intel’s new Kaby Lake quad-core processors and what you have is a more reliable and better graphics rendering.<\/p>\n For multitasking, which of course is a thing to consider, this laptop features a 16 GB RAM with a 1TB hard disc, giving you a large storage space for the work done and the raw files.<\/p>\n It operates quietly and has an excellent cooling system which makes the laptop not to heat up easily, even if you are a workaholic.<\/p>\n Normally, we would not advise that you edit films with laptop speakers since headphones are much detailed and better. Nevertheless, if you are tired of having the headphones on, you would not have a problem switching to the in-built speakers as it is better than in most others on this list.<\/p>\n Putting together all the features the Strix GL753VD comes with, it is hard not to see a great performance, as that is what it is all about.<\/p>\n Battery life, depending on the usage, can last between 3 to 8 hours. Activities like gaming consume more battery than others. For video editing, most times you do not have as much problem with the battery life.<\/p>\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\nWhy you should trust us<\/strong><\/h2>\n
