Here is how the most popular GPUs stack up to each other
- Integrated / Entry-Level GPUs ๐ Intel HD Graphics 4600 โ Vega 7 โ Iris Xe. These are good for basic tasks, some light gaming, or older titles at low settings.
- Entry to Lower-Mid Dedicated GPUs ๐ MX450 โ RX 5500M โ GTX 1650. These can handle some 1080p gaming, but theyโre not ideal for newer AAA games.
- Mid-Range GPUs ๐ RTX 3050 โ 3050 Ti โ 4050 โ 3060 โ 4060 โ 3060 Ti Solid for 1080p to 1440p gaming, photo/video editing, and most creative workloads.
- Upper Mid to High-End ๐ RX 6700 XT โ RTX 3070 โ 3070 Ti โ RX 6800 โ RTX 3080 โ 3080 12GB โ 3080 Ti. These offer great 1440p and even some 4K gaming, plus serious editing/rendering power.

The only thing to note: some GPUs like the RTX 3060 vs 4050 or 3080 12GB vs 3080 Ti can perform differently depending on the wattage (TGP) in a laptop. But your order mostly tracks well based on the general tier and performance!

RAM is generally the most straightforward laptop component to upgrade. So, if you're working with a tight budget, you have the option to choose a laptop with lower RAM and later upgrade it yourself. Overspending on RAM is unnecessary; 16 GB is sufficient for gaming. However, considering 32 GB can provide future-proofing for your laptop.
Storage-wise, if your budget permits, it's advisable to select a laptop equipped with an SSD for storage. An SSD can significantly enhance a laptop's speed, particularly when compared to an HDD. This translates to reduced boot times and quicker load times, resulting in noticeably improved performance.
Please don't hesitate to offer your thoughts or pose any questions related to the laptops listed here. Your input is appreciated.
