5 Best RTX 4070 Gaming Laptops

Buying Guides Gaming Laptop March 14, 2023 by Sid Natividad

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the starting point of the high-end computer spec but it’s still inexpensive enough to attract budget-oriented enthusiasts. Likewise, RTX 4070 gaming laptops are the perfect products for those looking for enthusiast specs at a reasonable cost.

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 3070 for laptops, the RTX 4070 mobile version sports a slightly higher power consumption but better performance. It also performs barely better than the RTX 3070 Ti laptop version but you needn’t upgrade from that if you already have it.

With that out of the way, RTX 4070 gaming laptops are ideal for those who haven’t bought previous-generation gaming hardware. The following gaming laptop deals will provide you with some competitive options.

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i9-13900HX
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM / Memory: 32 GB – 5600 MHz DDR5
  • Storage: 1 TB
  • Display: 16″ 2560 x 1600, 240 Hz IPS Display

Lenovo is back at it again with some reputable mid-range to budget high-end gaming laptops. This time around, they equipped the Legion Pro 5i with a beefy Intel CPU, along with an RTX 4070. In all honesty, the CPU is the more impressive piece of hardware here since it was also paired with 32GB of RAM for seamless computing and multitasking performance.

Everything else checks out and is a good match for one another. The QHD display is notable for having a 240 Hz refresh rate. This can also be a great all-around laptop given its i9 CPU and generous RAM modules.

Best Premium Option

PROS

  • Top-of-the-line Intel CPU for laptops
  • Mini-LED display
  • 4K and 120 Hz refresh rate
  • Beautiful, minimalist Razer Blade chassis

CONS

  • Expensive

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i9-13950HX
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM / Memory: 32 GB – 5600 MHz DDR5
  • Storage: 1 TB
  • Display: 16″ 3840 x 2400 120 Hz Mini-LED Display

If you want every cool new feature from current-gen high-end laptops crammed into one package but with a non-flagship GPU, then of course, the Razer Blade 16 will hit the right spots. The most important feature here (one that also bloated up the price) is the mini-LED display, which, again, is an even better tech than OLED.

The CPU is also notable as it’s second only to the best of the best in the current-gen Intel processor lineup for laptops. Apart from that, you get a beautiful CNC Aluminum chassis from Razer and it’s by far the most aesthetically pleasing in the laptop industry.

Best OLED Option

PROS

  • Top-of-the-line Intel CPU for laptops
  • 4K resolution
  • Generous RAM
  • There are other configurations for cheaper price
  • Minimalist and clean look
  • Thin bezels

CONS

  • 60 Hz panel (it's 4K though)
  • OLED can sometimes result in burn-in
  • RAM speed could be slightly better

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i9-13900H
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM / Memory: 32 GB – 4800 MHz DDR5
  • Storage: 1 TB SSD
  • Display: 16″ 3840 x 2400 OLED Panel, 60 Hz

What if you want a pretty screen but at a lower price? Razer’s out of the question, of course. You’re better off going for the Gigabyte Aero 16 OLED Notebook. It features the next best thing to mini-LED, OLED, which was the high-end craze back in the previous generation of gaming laptops.

Sadly, there are some major drawbacks due to the price. This OLED screen only has a 60 Hz panel though to make up for it, it also sports a 4K resolution, which is more than enough for some. All the other specs are impressive, especially the CPU.

Gigabyte Aorus 15 (2023)

Best Budget QHD Option

PROS

  • Cheap price
  • QHD display with 165 Hz refresh
  • DDR5 RAM
  • It actually has a Thunderbolt 4 port despite the price
  • 1080p webcam
  • Lighter compared to competition

CONS

  • A bit too much plastic on the chassis (unsurprisingly)

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-13700H
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM / Memory: 16GB DDR5
  • Storage: 1TB SSD
  • Display: 15.6″ 16:9 Thin Bezel QHD 2560×1440 165Hz

The usual price of a gaming laptop with an XX70-tier GPU is around $1,500 to $1,800. Anything above that is a little too premium (at least that’s how it went with the previous-gen). Luckily, Gigabyte is keeping with that pricing standard with its Aorus 15 line.

There are compromises such as the i7 instead of the i9 along with just 16GB of RAM but that’s to be expected for such a big price difference. Besides, those differences don’t affect performance too much, especially since the RTX 4070 will still be the primary dictating factor for gaming.

If anything, the QHD screen with a 165 Hz refresh rate is quite surprising given the price.

Best Budget Option

PROS

  • Cheap price
  • Sub-$1,500
  • DDR5 RAM
  • Light

CONS

  • 720p webcam
  • 1080p at 144 Hz is so pre-2020s
  • Uses 12th-Gen processor

CHECK LATEST PRICE

Specs:

  • CPU / Processor: Intel Core i7-12650H
  • GPU / Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
  • RAM / Memory: 16 GB – 4000 MHz DDR5
  • Storage: 1 TB SSD
  • Display: 15.6″ 1920 x 1080, 144 Hz IPS Display

In case you ever wanted to feel amazing with how much you saved up in purchasing an RTX 4070 gaming laptop, then the MSI Katana 15 is a perfect choice. At the time of writing, it’s the most affordable RTX 4070 laptop though it does come with some caveats that could be dealbreakers for some.

The CPU is a previous-gen i7 though it’s still capable and considered high-end. Aside from that, the display is relatively outdated compared to other RTX 4070 laptops. 1080p at 144 Hz is a bit low as a combination though it’s easily fixed using a monitor (which adds up to the expense).

Still, the most important part is that it comes equipped with an RTX 4070 and sells for a sub $1,500 price point which is the peak of the mid-range segment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which is more powerful, the RTX 4070 or the RTX 3070 Ti?
    They're equal in terms of graphical performance. However, you might find better deals for the RTX 3070 Ti; on the other hand, the RTX 4070 has a newer DLSS to further boost its performance (with some visual sacrifice).
  • Are RTX 4070 gaming laptops worth it?
    If you're upgrading from the RTX 3070 or RTX 3070 Ti laptops, then it's a disappointing upgrade. If you're buying from scratch or upgrading from several generations back, then it's worth it.
