First, lets look at official system requirements of Cyberpunk 2077:

– Now we can discuss the important points. Lets not forget that those requirements are meant for desktop setups. Laptops require a bit higher specs for same performance.

Graphics Card: We did not include budget laptops with GTX 1650 to our list for a fair reason. Personally, I played Witcher 3 on a GTX 760 then played it again on GTX 1080 years later. On my second run, I noticed how big a mistake I made by playing it at low-medium settings.

CD Project RED creates these masterpieces with lots of details and small touches. If you want to play the game as it is meant to be, you should at least have recommended specs. Of course you can “play” the game at low settings, that’s a choice. But I strongly suggest you to wait another month or two, save up couple of hundred dollars more, then play it properly.

So, we recommend a laptop with at least RTX 2060 since they are pretty wallet-friendly and does the job. We included 2 laptops to our list that are equipped with 2060.
CPU: CD Project RED emphasizes on importance of 4+ Cores for this game. So we should go with Intel i7. As for frequency 4.0 GHz is a fair amount to start with. Luckily, any decent gaming laptop meets these requirements these days.
RAM: After 2020 we noticed older setups with 8 GB RAM start to fall short. The latest games use 10-12 GB RAM. Cyberpunk 2077 also uses lots of RAM. So, we will go with at least 16 GB RAM as it is not an expensive part but affects performance a lot.

1. Best Gaming Laptop for Cyberpunk 2077 OVERALL

ASUS ROG Strix G15

CPU: i7-10750H up to 5.0 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070
16 GB 2933MHz RAM
1TB NVMe SSD
15.6” FHD 240Hz 3ms IPS
4 hrs
5.28 lbs.

The reason we choose this model over others is the perfect balance it has. This build has the potential to run Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra settings with RTX: Off and High settings with RTX: On. More importantly, it has a great price for such specs.

RTX 2070 is at such a sweet spot for Cyberpunk 2077, maybe we should call it RTX 2077 . RTX 2070 performs well at Ultra settings of Cyberpunk. Moreover, ROG Intelligent Cooling system allows a higher boost on GPU than average and lets you get the performance of an RTX 2070 on a desktop build.

CPU-wise you do not need to worry about any game because i7-10750H does not cause a bottleneck unless you go crazy and use an external RTX 3090 with it. This processor has 6 cores and works at 5.0 GHz. It is still a top level CPU to this year.

As we discussed, Cyberpunk 2077 is a RAM hungry game. Luckily G15 is equipped with 16GB 2933MHz RAM to easily handle latest AAA games.

That’s not all. This beast has a 15.6” 240 Hz display with 3ms response time. It will not only make Cyberpunk 2077 look smoother but also you will have an edge on competitive games you play like CS:GO, Overwatch or Apex Legends.

Some other strengths of this laptop with countless good features are: Sleek design with RGB lighting, 1 TB huge SSD storage, Fast Wi-fi 6, multiple ports and an Xbox GamePass gift.

2. Best BUDGET Laptop for Cyberpunk 2077

Acer Predator Helios 300

CPU: i7-10750H up to 5.0 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060
16 GB 2933MHz RAM
512GB NVMe SSD
15.6” FHD 144Hz 3ms IPS
6 hrs
5.51 lbs.

Our good old friend Predator Helios 300. Think of features that a good gaming laptop should have now. You name it, Predator got it! Acer did a great favor to us broke games who spent all their money on Steam sales. These laptop series offer all we need at a minimal price point.

One thing Predator Helios 300 excels at is processing power. Acer did not hold back while choosing a CPU for this model and put an i7-10750H to its heart. One of the best processors you can get on a gaming laptop, nothing else needed to say.

It is no surprise that Predator gets too many positive reviews. Because you cannot complain about a budget laptop that can run the latest games at High-Ultra settings.

The display won’t disappoint you. 144 Hz with 3ms is a bare minimum standard for competitive gaming lately. Predator offers both.

16 GB DDR4 2933MHz Dual-Channel RAMs will be good for another 3 years at least. 512 GB NVMe SDD + easy upgrade slot to make sure it can meet your needs in the future.

Let’s get to the most important point. GPU used on Helios 300 is an RTX 2060. Entry model of the Nvidia 2000 series. This model is not the most powerful GPU out there.

In fact even 980 ti or 1080 of older series outperforms it. However, it has different advantages. First, 2000 series will perform better and better as 900/1000 gets older and Nvidia will focus on newer series. Second, you can enjoy RTX on this GPU.

Final point, RTX 2060 is a great GPU if you need to cut another $200 from the price but still get the performance of a high end laptop. Acer did a good job using it on Helios 300. Don’t worry RTX 2060 is good enough to run Cyberpunk 2077 without sacrificing on major settings.

3. Best 17” Budget Laptop for Cyberpunk 2077

Acer Nitro 5

CPU: i7-9750H up to 4.5 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060
16 GB 2666MHz RAM
256 GB NVMe SSD
17.3” FHD 144Hz 3ms IPS
7 hrs
5.73 lbs.

Acer Predator Helios might be ultimate budget laptop for Cyberpunk 2077. But, this buying guide is about YOUR needs. So there is another budget option if you…

– Want a bigger screen

– Need a more professional looking laptop

– Any other aestethical reasons

… then Acer Nitro 5 might be best choice for you.

Nitro sacrifices some performance in return of a 17.3” screen while Helios 300 got 15.6”. Nitro got 2666MHz instead of 2933MHz but that does not make a big difference.

Main difference comes from CPU. Intel i7-9750H of Nitro is one generation lower than Helios and can not offer same performance. 5.0 GHz to 4.5 GHz is a big difference.

Luckily, Nitro 5 is still capable of running Cyberpunk 2077 at similar settings because this games does not very CPU intensive.

Another thing is Nitro 5 uses Wi-fi 5 instead of Wi-fi 6 which limits your connection performance. Also Nitro has significantly lower storage which is 256 GB.

But still, if you think you cannot go to lectures or business meetings with a spaceship looking laptop with RGB keyboard, then you might better off with Nitro.

4. Great Value Laptop to Run Cyberpunk 2077

MSI GL65 Leopard

CPU: i7-10750H up to 5.0 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070
16 GB 2666MHz RAM
512 GB NVMe SSD
15.6” FHD 144Hz 3ms IPS
5 hrs
5.07 lbs.

Another great laptop to play Cyberpunk 2077. This MSI laptop stand out with high resolution audio and Per-key customizable RGB keyboard.

We can confidently say that you can play Cyberpunk 2077 with RTX: On at high settings on GL65 Leopard.

It is equipped with i7-10750H and RTX 2070. This deadly combo is capable of running all the latest games.

GL65 loses to our first choice Asus G15 in display section since G15 supports 240Hz. If we only focus on Cyberpunk, it does not make much difference since you will not able to go above 144Hz unless you tune all settings down.

MSI collaborated with Steel Series to create this Anti-Ghost key + silver lining keyboard and it is great.

One appealing feature of this gaming laptop is having 720p HD Webcam despite it has 72%NTSC Thin Bezel frame. MSI did a good job with design here.

5. Best Laptop to Play Cyberpunk 2077 at HIGH SETTINGS + RTX

Razer Blade 15

CPU: i7-10750H up to 5.0 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 Max-Q
16 GB 2933MHz RAM
512 GB NVMe SSD
15.6” FHD 144Hz 3ms IPS
6 hrs
4.75 lbs.

Razer being Razer and creates this laptop looks as sleek as MacBook and performs like a desktop gaming pc. Its small size, professional looking design and low weight makes it perfect for daily and professional use. Moreover, Max-Q GPUs are more energy efficient than regular ones, it lasts longer.

Speaking of MacBook , Razer Blade 15 comes with a Thunderbolt 3 port along with USB A and C ports both sides. So you can connect with all devices. Also it has a WebCam.

It is powerful enough to run Cyberpunk 2077 at High settings RTX: On. 512 GB storage could be bigger tho.

These features fit in a compact, durable well-crafted aluminum body. It looks good as hell to be honest.

Despite its high price, its design is so good that makes it a perfect laptop to be your both daily and gaming laptop. Hey, if the design did not add value, no one would buy Apple right?

6. Best Laptop to Play Cyberpunk 2077 at ULTRA SETTINGS + RTX

MSI GE75 Raider

CPU: i7-10750H up to 5.0 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 Super
32 GB 2666MHz RAM
1 TB NVMe SSD
17.3” FHD 300Hz 3ms IPS
5 hrs
5.25 lbs.

Here comes the big guns. We did not forget gamers who are addicted to playing games at highest settings no matter what. Do you remember our fourth choice G65 Leopard? Well, GE75 Raider is like GL65 on steroids, LOTS of steroids.

There are surely better laptops with twice storage size or higher frequency RAM. But we choose this one over them because they do not worth another $1000. This guy got all you need.

We see the same CPU with many models which is i7-10750H because, it’s bread and butter of gaming laptops. It does the job, so why need another CPU?

Main gun of this laptop is RTX 2080 Super Max-P (stands for Max Performance). RTX at ultra is piece of cake for this GPU.

32 GB RAMs are there to make sure your game does not slow down even there are other programs open in the background. Storage is pretty big for an SSD. 1TB can contain 10+ big games.

MSI decided to overkill with a 300Hz 3ms display. Because, why not? Beware, this computer has a 17.3” screen. Which is pretty good if you use it at home but it does not fit all the bags.

Same as GL65, MSI collaborated with Steel Series to create this Anti-Ghost key + silver lining keyboard and it is great. Also, GE75 offers High-resolution audio.
