17" and Above Laptops
A 17in or 18in laptop is a desktop replacement. The screen is large enough to work on comfortably without an external monitor, there is usually a full number pad, and the extra internal volume means better cooling — which is why the most powerful gaming laptops are this size.
Two things people underestimate. Weight: these machines are typically 2.5 to 3.5kg before the power brick, and a large gaming laptop’s charger is heavy in its own right. If it will be carried daily, that adds up fast. And bag fit: many 15in laptop bags will not take a 17in machine, so plan for one that will.
What the size is genuinely good for is a laptop that lives on a desk and occasionally moves — a home office machine, or a gaming laptop that replaces a tower.

17" and Above Laptops Buying Guide and FAQ
This 17" and Above Laptops range groups laptops by screen size. Below are the common questions.
Is a 17" laptop right for me?
Larger 17 inch and above laptops give a big screen and often better cooling, but are heavier to carry. Pick the size to match how often you move it.
What specs should a 17" laptop have?
For everyday use, aim for a modern CPU, 16GB of RAM and a fast SSD. For gaming or creative work, look for 32GB of RAM and a capable RTX graphics chip. Check the build quality and battery life too.
Is a 17" laptop good for gaming?
Gaming laptops come in this size with RTX graphics, so check the graphics chip and its power rating rather than just the screen. A higher refresh display also helps for fast games.
