Our choice for a 15-inch gaming laptop that you can use to play light games
This laptop has a QWERTY keyboard, which is different from a Belgian AZERTY keyboard. The Q and A keys are reversed on a QWERTY keyboard. The same goes for the W and Z keys. QWERTY keyboards also don't have keys for letters with accents. That's why you should only choose a QWERTY keyboard if you're used to it.

According to our laptop expert
With the RTX 5050 video card, you can play light games smoothly in Full HD without turning on DLSS support.
The medium-sized screen shows your games clearly, and you can easily take the laptop with you.
With the 144Hz refresh rate, you can enjoy smooth images during competitive games.
You need an RTX 5060 video card if you want to play medium demanding games without DLSS.
The screen isn't big enough if you want a good overview of your game.

So far, so good. The only drawback is that you can't directly connect two monitors, but that's not a problem if you have a USB-C dock, and it's considerably cheaper than laptops with comparable hardware.

Great laptop, the kids love it. Good performance for demanding games like Star Wars Outlaws or Hogwards Legacy. Nice RGB keyboard and a fun, playful design. A real Cyborg.

A huge upgrade from my previous gaming laptop. With this setup, I should be good for years to come. Everything loads very quickly, and games (Call of Duty, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, for example) play at high quality and with good FPS.
