Best bang-for-buck gaming laptops in South Africa

South Africans looking for a portable gaming machine will find a plethora of capable laptop models on the market.

The early days of gaming laptops taking heavy flak for their lacklustre performance compared to desktop gaming PCs are well behind us.

Some good deals just sucks that Evetech is the only supplier of the Lenovo Legion 5 in SA

those are some disgusting prices, not a slight on the retailer, just a comment on how prices have reversed the past decade or so while for the longest time you got more bang for your buck as tech evolved in the computer field (thanks crypto, thanks a lot)

at least it is less disgusting than flagship smartphone prices, holy mother of ... now that is vomit inducing

The prices of the 3060 laptops have come down quite a bit. Last year they were retailing a lot higher.

"Gaming" laptops have since its inception being a very highly-priced premium product. Just go have a look at where laptops with Nvidia 800/900 mobile GPUs were priced at. It makes those 3070 laptops look cheap.

Just do your research and look at screen quality and heating issues. One of those lappy's hits close to 80 degrees at the center of the keyboard.
