Call of Duty: Warzone is one of the most played battle royale games globally. Call of Duty's second foray into the battle royale genre (after Black Ops 4's Blackout), Warzone is one of the most thrilling experiences, with its signature gunplay and classical COD mechanics.
And with its new Pacific update, players have flocked to the game even more. Hence, today, we will list some of the best laptops available for playing Warzone and other similar games.
Factors to consider when buying a laptop for gaming
1) CPU-GPU: Warzone is a pretty demanding game and is also very RAM-hungry. Hence, to maintain competitive frame rates of over 100 FPS, current generation hardware like the Ryzen 5000 series/11th gen i5, along with RTX 3050 and at least 16 GB RAM, should be preferred (unless 60 FPS is enough for one).
2) Refresh rate: For multiplayer competitive games like Warzone, buyers should prefer higher refresh rates, i.e., 120hz or above, which the specs mentioned above (i5 11400h/GTX 3050/16 GB) can easily push at 1080p medium settings, with DLSS on.
3) Resolution: Going too high on the resolution will cost users performance. 1080p is the sweet spot for a majority of titles, but in case your laptop is equipped with 6 GB or more of VRAM (e.g., RTX 3060/2070 or similar), then 1440p would be a better choice.
4) Screen size: A bigger 16.1 inch or 17.3-inch screen would be preferable as it would be easier to spot both enemies and loot.
5) Cooling: Subpar cooling will thermal-throttle your laptop and deteriorate performance over time, and might even damage your device.
