9 Best Gaming Laptops Under $2000

CPU:

The CPU is the brain of your computer. It’s what makes your computer run applications and do things. In the same way, the Cannabis plant uses its own internal brain to make decisions about how to grow and thrive. A healthy cannabis plant has a strong central processing unit.

GPU:

The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized processor designed to accelerate the creation of images in game consoles, personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices. GPUs are often integrated into motherboards, video cards, and other computer components.

RAM:

What is RAM?
RAM stands for Random Access Memory. This type of memory is commonly used in computers and smartphones. It’s a temporary storage space where data is stored while programs are running.

How much RAM do I need?
You should have at least 1GB of RAM if you want to run any modern operating system (Windows 10, macOS, Linux). If you’re using Windows, you’ll probably want 2GB or 4GB. You may not even need that much RAM if you don’t plan on installing many applications.

Why does my computer use so much RAM?
The amount of RAM your computer uses varies depending on what you’re doing. When you open a program, it takes up some RAM. As long as you close the program, the RAM won’t be released back to the OS. However, if you leave a program open, it will continue to take up RAM until you shut down the program.

Can I upgrade my RAM?
Yes! Most motherboards allow you to add additional RAM. Just make sure you get compatible RAM modules.

Do I need to worry about running out of RAM?
No. Your computer will automatically release unused RAM to the operating system when necessary.

Storage:

Hard Drive

A hard drive is a storage device that stores digital information. A hard drive contains platters coated with magnetic material that store data magnetically. Data is stored in binary format (0’s and 1’s) on tracks across the surface of the disk. Each track is divided into sectors, each sector containing a specific amount of data.

Solid State Drives (SSD)

Solid state drives (SSD) use flash memory instead of spinning disks. SSDs have no moving parts, making them faster than traditional hard drives. However, they do not hold as much data as traditional hard drives.

Display:

LCD

LCD stands for liquid crystal display. It is a flat panel display technology that uses tiny crystals called liquid crystals to control how much light passes through each pixel. An LCD screen consists of two glass plates separated by a layer of liquid crystals. A backlight shines through the top plate, passing through the liquid crystals and onto the bottom plate where images are formed.

LED

LED stands for the light emitting diode. LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when electricity flows through them. They are commonly used as indicator lights on electronic equipment and have become increasingly popular in displays.

OLED

OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. OLEDs use organic compounds as their active materials. These materials are placed between two electrodes and when current is applied they emit light. OLED screens are thinner than LCDs and consume less power.

Ports:

USB Port

The USB port is a standard port found on almost any laptop computer. It is designed to connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, digital cameras, external hard drives, flash drives, and many other devices.

FireWire Port

FireWire ports were originally developed for Apple computers. They have since been adopted by other manufacturers and are now commonly used for connecting peripheral equipment.

Parallel Port

Parallel ports are an older technology than USB and FireWire. They are still widely used today and are often included on laptops.

RJ-45 Ethernet Port

Ethernet ports are used to connect network cables and devices together. Most modern computers have at least one built-in Ethernet port.

Audio Jack

Audio jacks allow audio signals to pass between two devices. There are several types of audio jacks including RCA plugs, mini-jack connectors, and line level connectors.

HDMI Port

HDMI ports are high definition multimedia interface ports. They are used to transmit uncompressed video and sound data over a single cable.

DisplayPort

DisplayPort (DP) is a newer type of connection that supports both video and power. It was created by Intel and Microsoft in order to replace VGA and DVI connections.

Wireless Connectivity:

Yes/No

Battery Life:

Battery time varies from device to device depending upon the processor and usage. Overall, a laptop battery lasts about 1,000 charge cycles or between 2-4 years of everyday use. That’s when you should expect to change or replace your laptop battery but it all depends on how you use it.
