If you thought putting a spanking new gaming laptop on top of your back-to-school list was something that could only happen in some fantasy RPG-land, think again. Sure, plenty of students opt for a general-purpose laptop, assuming “gaming laptop” means a battery-draining machine without much practical use. Think again: these days, the best gaming laptops outperform the sea of generic Chromebooks when it comes to a college student’s needs — and we’re not talking only during marathon late-night multiplayer sessions. The right high-performing gaming laptop can help you conquer your heavy STEM course load, 4K video-editing projects, and remote classes like a champ.
For instance: with crispy graphics, AI-accelerated performance, and impressive FPS for your games, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops can accelerate your gaming and your schoolwork in equal measure. Better yet, these laptops also start under $1,000, a sweet deal for a student’s budget. Basically, you can get a two-in-one laptop for both gaming and school and not have to subsist on ramen for the duration of your college years. Here’s the rundown on why the best gaming laptop will check all your back-to-school boxes:
A STEM major’s dream machine
If you’re tackling a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, there’s nothing more frustrating than a machine that can’t keep up with the apps you need for your coursework. Here’s where a powerful gaming laptop proves its mettle. With GPU acceleration, your machine delivers super-fast image processing, real-time rendering for complex component designs, and it lets you work quickly and efficiently.
For engineering students, this means more interactive, real-time rendering for 3D design and modeling, plus faster solutions and visualization for mechanical, structural, and electrical simulations.
For computer science, data science, and economics students, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops enable faster data analytics for processing large data sets — all with efficient training for deep learning and traditional machine learning models for computer vision, natural language processing, and tabular data.
With GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops, you’ll have more time to explore the topics that interest you.
Accelerate your creative pursuits
If you’re right-brained, you’ll want to put one of these machines on your back-to-school list, as well. You may not be crunching data in the same way your pals in STEM classes do, but if you’re editing video and digital content, you’ll require just as much power and speed. If you really want to keep up with the pros and ensure you’re in the best possible position as a student learning with today’s high-end tech, you’ll want a studio laptop fully capable of editing 4K video and all your design projects.
NVIDIA Studio laptops, for example, feature AI rendering that reduces tedious tasks, while boasting impressive color displays and blazing-fast memory so you’re not stuck waiting for your machine to catch up to your creative brain. Bonus: many studio laptops also weigh in under four pounds for easy trips around campus, so you can easily take your laptop to the places that spark your creativity the most.
Remote classes feel IRL with AI-boosted performance
Last year’s emphasis on remote learning may have been unexpected, but it’s likely some element of it is here to stay. You’ll need a machine to keep up. After all, how can you possibly learn anything with streaming glitches that make your class sounds like it’s being held in an echo chamber? Your ideal gaming laptop, optimized for live-streaming and multiplayer action, is way ahead of the curve already.
GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops will dial in your remote-learning situation for the school year ahead. NVIDIA’s AI-powered Broadcast tech ensures your remote-learning software will run smoothly and stutter-free. Plus, the noise and echo removal will help you stay engaged because you’ll hear everything that your lab partners and teachers have to say. It will almost seem like you’re sitting right there in the classroom — except you’ll be sprawled out on your dorm bed in your pajamas.
And they’re awesome gaming machines, too, of course
When your schoolwork is done, you can kick back and enjoy the latest AAA games with great performance. GeForce RTX 30 Series laptops have ray tracing cores to enable the most realistic graphics in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Or if beating your roommates in competitive multiplayer is more your style, then NVIDIA’s DLSS gives you an AI-powered performance boost, while NVIDIA Reflex gives you the lowest possible system latency — a game-winning combo in games including Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, and many others. Whatever you play, these laptops are up to the task.
