3 Main Ingredients for the Greatest Gaming Laptop

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): This is the most important gaming component of the laptop because it's what provides all graphics and visuals. Note: the GPU core clock speed and VRAM are also important to take heed of. 

Central Processing Unit (CPU): The CPU of the laptop does all the processing for the game, including physics, AI, and everything in the middle, making it key in the laptop as well, as it will be needed for all the processing of the gaming laptop and to obtain the best frame rate unless there is a CPU-heavy game, where the CPU does bottleneck performance. 

Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is the most important part of the laptop hardware that stores data. Part of that memory is available for games, music, movies, and anything else that wants to share access to the CPU/GPU. Ensure you have the compatible speed of (DDR4 or DDR5) RAM intended for the specific CPU and motherboard.

The above ingredients – GPU, CPU and RAM – are important for a gaming laptop to meet your gamer expectations. These hardware ingredients need to work smoothly together to produce the visual characteristics and potential performance needed, as requested by the gaming experience.
