How Games in the Future Evolve for These Laptops
Technology is evolving at a rapid speed, but so are the games. Can you even predict whether your laptop will be good enough in a couple of years? Keep on reading to find out!
Being able to game on the go is a privilege, but oftentimes, this will cost you about half the price of a proper gaming rig.
Needless to say, gaming laptops are taking gaming to another level – but if you’re choosing a new laptop, you have to be a bit more careful.
Since games are evolving at a rapid speed, so are the laptops. However, with the lack of space manufacturers are constantly battling with – it’s a bit hard to produce a laptop that will keep up with the latest game titles for years.
Therefore, finding a laptop that’s perfectly crafted so you won’t even have to think about purchasing a new one in at least the next 3 years is a good idea.
In this post, we’re not only going to talk about what makes a great gaming laptop and how you should choose one – but we’re also going to talk about the gaming industry and how games evolved in the years.
This will include our prediction for the evolvement of the games in the next couple of years, so even if you aren’t looking to purchase a new gaming laptop straight away, you’ll know what to expect!
Games are Becoming More Advanced than Ever Before
The gaming industry is almost as big as a TV industry, and with this being said, it’s no surprise that games are being announced every single year.
However, with every latest game title – plenty of improvements come with it. A decade ago – gameplay was the most important aspect of a game.
Nowadays, graphics are one of the most important factors, if not the most important factor. Even though gameplay has drastically downgraded in some game series – graphics is still the factor that most game manufacturers battle over.
Games aren’t what we used to know, and frankly, they involve a lot more into the craft. From the initial idea which starts the development to the engineering, rendering, recording, mixing, producing, and testing until the final product is a full-fledged game.
If you’re not a developer yet a sole gamer – you could still notice how advanced games have got by checking out one thing. This factor is the game specifications (requirements).
Since 1958 when physicists invented the first game until the early 2020 – games drastically developed into a different form.
But how bad did it get for gaming computer & laptop owners? Will your gaming laptop be able to endure another year of gaming and allow you to play some of the latest titles?
Keep on reading to find out!
Is Your Gaming Laptop Going to Keep Up With the Gaming Industry?
Not all games require the same specifications – however, some of the best games that are very well advertised and even played a lot more than its competitors require fairly high specifications.
Games such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, and Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul are among the games that require the highest specifications.
With the virtual reality industry booming and VR gaming is the newest trend – you will require a lot higher specifications if you decide to give VR gaming a try.
Since smooth gaming is all about the resolution, settings, and FPS (frames per second) you can achieve – these factors will tell you how good your laptop is.
Try playing some of the latest titles from 2019 and see how far you can push your gaming laptop. Are you able to play some of the latest games on a fairly high resolution and still get a fairly decent FPS?
If the answer is yes – your laptop still might be great for another year of gaming. However, if not, you might not have to get a new laptop right away. Instead, you might have to settle with playing the newest games on a slightly lower resolution and settings to get a fairly decent FPS.
What are some of the Best Laptops Specifications that will Keep up With the Games Evolvement?
However, if your gaming laptop is unfortunately not good enough for some of the latest titles you plan on playing – that’s okay.
Investing in an even better gaming laptop will help you play the latest game titles without having to think twice before downloading the game.
If you’re worried about the prices of the newest gaming laptops – there’s nothing to worry about since we can help you find a decent gaming laptop for a decent budget.
However, the recommended configuration for playing the latest game titles in 2020 is the following:
- SSD or SSD + HDD (7,200 RPM)
- NVIDIA GTX 1060 or 1070 (with at least 6 GB of VRAM)
- At least an Intel i7-6700HQ processor
And here are a couple of tips that will help you choose a laptop for high-end titles you could play in 2020:
- Don’t choose a laptop for low-end game titles
- Larger laptops (17” & 18”) are most often more powerful
- Avoid touchscreen gaming laptops
- Pay attention to the keyboard
- SSD is a must
- Don’t go for M version graphics cards
Now when you know how to choose a gaming laptop and what to look out for, check this post to find out the best gaming laptops under $1000.
Conclusion
There’s no way to avoid the evolution of the gaming industry and this includes both the latest game titles and gaming laptops & computers.
However, knowing what to look out for and how to ensure your gaming laptop keeps up with the gaming industry is a good way to keep running one laptop through multiple gaming seasons.
It’s very easy to overspend on a gaming laptop that won’t do as good as some other cheaper laptops, in the long run.
But with the proper guide and knowing exactly what to look out for – you won’t only cut your spending, but you will also increase value to money which makes justifying your spending a lot easier.
What are some of the game titles you look forward to playing in 2020? How good is your laptop’s configuration?

There are affiliate networks, and then there’s MegaList – a performance-first, hype-last kind of operation built for casino and sportsbook brands that prefer results over buzzwords.
In an industry that sometimes feels like it’s powered by vague metrics and recycled content, MegaList steps in as the “Mega Map” – a practical, data-driven network guiding both players and operators to higher ground. Less “look at our reach,” more “here’s your conversion rate.”
So no, this isn’t just another logo-stamped brand promising traffic and delivering bounce rates. This is a carefully engineered affiliate engine built on smart SEO, qualified leads, and just enough caffeine-fueled obsession with results to make even the most skeptical operators pay attention.
The iGaming Affiliate World: Why It (Still) Matters
Let’s be honest – the affiliate space in iGaming has had its fair share of bad actors and empty promises. But when done right, affiliate marketing is still one of the most effective and efficient ways to connect licensed operators with the right players.
Players want fewer popups, more clarity. Operators want actual ROI, not vague impressions.
Enter: the data-driven affiliate network.
It’s simple:
- Informed players make better choices.
- Strategic affiliates deliver better traffic.
- Everyone wins. Except, of course, the shady operators who preferred it the other way.
Meet the MegaList Brands
These aren’t vanity microsites. Each MegaList brand has a specific mission, actual humans behind the content, and a reputation for, well… telling it like it is.
MegaCasinoList
Let’s face it – players don’t need another affiliate promising “top 10 casinos” based on whatever ad paid the most. They need honest, transparent, expert-backed reviews.
That’s where MegaCasinoList comes in – a platform that filters out the noise and delivers legit info on licensed casinos, security, fairness, and gameplay. Slots? Live dealer games? Payout speed? Yep, it’s all in there, and it’s all vetted.
They work with reliable operators only, because – and here’s a crazy idea – not every shiny site deserves your deposit.
MegaTipsList
If you like sports predictions that read like a 20-page legal document, you’re in the wrong place.
MegaTipsList is built for bettors who want real insights, fast reads, accurate tips, and actual value. It delivers predictions, sports news, and timely promotions – minus the fluff and with none of that “win guaranteed” nonsense.
Designed for bettors who like to stay informed without needing a PhD to understand the odds.
MegaBetList
For the practical bettor who just wants the facts: which sites are legit, which ones pay fast, and what to expect before placing your first wager.
MegaBetList reviews betting platforms with a clear, no-nonsense voice. It’s not trying to dazzle; it’s trying to help people bet smarter – and it’s doing a pretty solid job of it.
From licensing to promotions to usability, everything is covered – and everything is filtered through what actually matters to sports fans.
Why This All Matters (And Why It’s Working)
The iGaming world doesn’t need more noise. It needs better filters, smarter partners, and affiliates that actually care whether the traffic leads somewhere useful.
That’s where MegaList comes in – not to impress with buzzwords, but to perform, to scale, and to make sure both operators and players are on the same page for once.
And if we may drop in a little vision while we’re at it:
“At MegaList, we believe informed players and strategic operators shape a stronger, smarter iGaming industry.”
For once, a statement that isn’t just inspirational filler.
So the next time someone pitches you an affiliate network, ask one thing: “Do they have a plan, or just a landing page?”
MegaList has both, and a track record to prove it.
