To that reason NVIDIA recently announced that the GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti GPUs are available for gaming and multimedia notebooks. Laptops featuring the GTX 1650 have recently begun to become available from both popular OEMs and custom PC makers. While most of these laptops are powered by Intel processors, some of them have started to adopt the new Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 35W CPUs from AMD as well to provide an uncompromising value advantage in efficiency. While these laptops are still relatively new, they showed consistent benchmark performance that prompted us to look at the market’s current best offers. So here are the 8 best GTX 1650 laptops with that knowledge that you can purchase for a great experience that doesn’t dent the wallet in 2019.

CPU options range from the 9th gene Intel Core i5-9300H to the Core i7-9750H. If you’re primarily looking for gaming use, the Core i5 version should be enough. When you foresee making any content that can use more multi-threading, the Core i7 would make a better proposal. The GTX 1650 is either way a viable option for lag-free 1080p gaming at 60 Hz. The default configuration gives you 8 GB of RAM which can be extended up to 32 GB. You can also choose from an array of combinations of SSD and HDD. The Nitro 5 has an Acer ComfyView FHD LCD display. It’s not a high refresh rate display, but it should be fine if your goal is to play at 60 fps. The Nitro 5 provides a dual fan cooling system that helps to keep temperatures cool. Acer also offers a CoolBoost functionality that ensures proper fan speed under load. For web browsing the Acer Nitro 5 should last at least 6 hours on the road with a 55 Wh battery.

At Very High or Ultra settings, most modern AAA titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider Far Cry 5 GTA V Battlefield V etc. can run around 60 fps. In Very High environments games like Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon can even run at 120 fps. Temperatures tend to hang around the tolerable 65 to 75 degrees C limit. There is no Thunderbolt 3 connectivity on the notebook so if you plan to use a more powerful eGPU you’re out of luck.

However, if you really need to spend the extra money on a 144 Hz display, you will need to evaluate as the GTX 1650 can’t really take advantage of it in modern games. That being said, for those looking at innovative workflows, the extra CPU power and IPS screen can be useful. Pros: Color-exact display Solid CPU
