4 Best RTX 4060 Gaming Laptops

Buying Guides Gaming Laptop March 15, 2023 by Sid Natividad

RTX 4060 gaming laptops are typically considered the mid-range options when it comes to gaming computers. The same goes for desktop counterparts, even though the laptop’s performance is considerably lower. Regardless, they help a lot of people achieve their dreams of a powerful gaming device on a budget.

For many, they’re the perfect balance of price-to-performance since most mid-range gaming computers can nearly max out the latest games (within two years of their release). RTX 4060 gaming laptops are no exception.

These following RTX 4060 gaming laptops can further prove that point if you let them. So consider them for your next mid-range gaming device purchase.

Best Overall

PROS

  • An i7 CPU at this price point
  • Decent RAM
  • 165Hz refresh rate
  • Impressive RGB lighting
  • Reasonably-priced
  • Good cooling system

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-13650HX
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5 – 4800MHz 
  • Storage: 512GB PCIe SSD
  • Display: 16” 16:10 FHD 165Hz

You’d expect a mid-range gaming GPU to have a mid-range budget, which is around $1,000 to $1,500, and of the few RTX 4060 gaming laptops around, the Asus ROG Strix G16 is the strongest contender.

It adheres to mid-range qualifications with sternness while still sprinkling some goodies here and there. Of course, the brand and name alone will attract a lot of potential buyers; Asus is known for some sturdy and elegant laptops, after all.

And it does come with some pleasing features such as DDR5 RAM with a decent speed and a 13th-gen i7, it made some sacrifices in other aspects which is fair enough.

Best Undergod Option

PROS

  • An i9 CPU at this price point
  • Competitive pricing
  • Comes with a Gen4 NVMe SSD
  • Generous RAM
  • 17-inch screen

CONS

  • Resale might be difficult
  • Brand isn't particularly well-known
  • Only 1080p
  • Looks thick and bulky

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel i9-13900HX
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • RAM / Memory: 32GB DDR5-4800MHz
  • Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD
  • Display: 17.3 Inch FHD 144Hz

If you don’t mind trusting some off-brand mainland China goodies (both Intel and NVIDIA have strong presences there, anyway), then the Sager 2023 is actually a good option. For the price, many of its buyers have agreed that it’s quite a steal. And looking at the specs, it’s hard to beat.

An i9 for a mid-range device at this price point means it has the best CPU among all the mid-range RTX 4060 gaming laptops. Of course, it didn’t put that processing power to waste since it was paired with 32 GB of RAM. So multimedia professionals that want the beefiest CPU they can have at mid-range(ish) prices ought to consider this.

If you are concerned with warranty or replacements, you can always just add on a 2 or 4-Year Protection Plan from Amazon and the product would still be more affordable compared to anything with similar specs.

Best QHD Option

PROS

  • QHD display running at 165 Hz is good for future-proofing
  • Comes with an i7
  • 1080p webcam
  • Light
  • Touchpad design is pretty

CONS

  • 1440p is slightly wasted on such a small screen
  • Lots of plastic parts

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-13700H
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • RAM / Memory: 16 GB – 4800 MHz DDR5
  • Storage: 1 TB
  • Display: 15.6″ 2560 x 1440 at 165 Hz

1080p is starting to feel boxed-in and claustrophobia-inducing for some people, especially those who have tried out higher resolutions. The Gigabyte Aorus 15 (2023) might be a good starting point if you’re ready for that big transition.

Granted, don’t expect the transition to be as breathtaking compared to a fully-fledged monitor. The screen is rather small at 15 inches. You will appreciate the better pixel density and larger allowance, however. It’s also a decent QHD monitor running at 165 Hz.

Paired with that is, of course, the RTX 4060 and a 13th-gen i7 processor while still somewhat staying at the peak of the mid-range price point.

Best Budget Option

PROS

  • Cheap price
  • DDR5 RAM despite the previous-gen CPU
  • Metal chassis
  • 165Hz refresh rate
  • RAM speed is 5200 MHz, surprisingly

CONS

  • 720p webcam
  • CPU is 12th-gen Intel (which isn't that bad)

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-12650H
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
  • RAM / Memory: 16 GB DDR5 – 5200 MHz
  • Storage: 512 GB
  • Display: 15.6″ FHD 1920 x 1080 165 Hz IPS Display

As always, there’s a budget option in store for the thriftiest of gamers, and Acer understands this well enough. Hence, the Acer Nitro 5 exists and has provided many laptop models for those too concerned with budget. What matters is that it still has the RTX 4060.

The caveat? Well, the CPU is previous-gen but seeing as it’s a 12th-gen i7, it’s more or less equivalent to a 13th-gen i5 in terms of performance. And at 1080p, the processor matters quite a lot. You’ll also be pleased to know that it comes with DDR5 RAM despite the cost-cutting, which is a step in the right direction.
