Best gaming laptop in 2025: I've put the best of this new generation head-to-head and we have a winner

The best gaming laptops in 2025 can finally be the do-anything notebooks we've always wanted them to be. As well as being just as capable 3D rendering in Blender, or thrashing the GPU with generative AI, now they're not just frame rate-chewing gaming monsters when plugged into the power socket, they're machines that can game when running on battery, too.

The new Nvidia GPUs paired up with either AMD's mighty Strix Point APUs, or Intel's Arrow Lake H-series CPUs, have delivered the best gaming laptops we've ever tested on PC Gamer.
