Best
Laptops for Playing Diablo 2: Resurrected
Windows Central
2021
The best laptops for playing Diablo 2: Resurrected don’t need to be particularly powerful by today’s standards, but you will want a dedicated graphics card (GPU) and six-core processor (CPU) to get the most out of the new 3D graphics. Since Diablo 2: Resurrected is expected to release in 2021, you might be shopping for a gaming laptop that will get you up the slopes of Mount Arreat to confront Baal. Here are some of the best gaming laptops that reach and go beyond Blizzard’s recommended PC specifications.
Excellent Value:
HP Omen 15
Editor’s choice
HP’s Omen 15 is one of the best values in PC gaming today. It brings unthrottled gaming performance from modern hardware, as well as excellent audio and camera. It has plenty of ports in its understated chassis for easy connectivity, and it’s packed with Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and an SD card reader. Perhaps most impressive is its 4K AMOLED display option with vivid color and anti-reflective finish. Have a look at our HP Omen 15 (2020) review for full details.
Premium Throughout:
Razer Blade 15
Staff pick
The Razer Blade 15 is our top pick when it comes to overall best gaming laptops. It’s available with some seriously impressive performance hardware, multiple display options, and two different formats — Base and Advanced — depending on how much you want to pay and how much power you really need. If you want to go all out with a gaming laptop, you can’t go wrong here. Read our Razer Blade 15 Advanced review for more information.
Many Configuration Options:
Lenovo Legion 7i 15
Lenovo’s Legion gaming lineup has been putting out quality devices for years, balancing unthrottled performance and value pricing. The Legion 7i 15 has a ton of configuration options, including FHD displays, 10th Gen Intel Core HK CPUs, and NVIDIA RTX dedicated GPUs. Keyboard and body RGB lighting offset the black chassis nicely, there’s decent audio, and the webcam is clear. Our Lenovo Legion 7i 15 review has far more details if you’re interested.
Unthrottled Performance:
MSI GE66 Raider
If massive performance is what you’re looking for (especially for other high-end AAA games), MSI’s GE66 Raider is likely enticing. It’s packed with RGB lighting, it has great port selection and a clear camera, and it delivers massive gaming performance. The 99.9Wh battery brings above-average life without an AC adapter, perfect if you’re sick of wimpy batteries in gaming laptops. For a deeper look, check out our MSI GE66 Raider review.
Powered By AMD:
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14
With tons of configuration options, a minimal look, and a thin and light 14-inch build, the Zephyrus G14 is a top pick for anyone who loves AMD. Get up to a Ryzen 9 4900HS CPU and up to an NVIDIA RTX 2060 Max-Q GPU for killer performance on the go. It has great audio, a comfortable keyboard and touchpad, and options for FHD and QHD displays. Our ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 preview has benchmarks that show just how well it performs.
Bottom line
The recommended system specs, as laid out in our Diablo 2: Resurrected — Remastered release date, leaks, and everything we know roundup, include an Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT GPU. The best laptops for playing Diablo 2: Resurrected listed above often have multiple configurations, so be sure you’re getting the right hardware to run the game at its recommended specs.
No problem if you’re working with a tight budget. The minimum specs are listed as an Intel Core i3-3250 or AMD FX-4350 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7850. There’s quite a disparity between the two performance tiers, so don’t expect to get the most out of the game if you go with a laptop that sits between the minimum and recommended specs.
If we’re making some suggestions, the HP Omen 15 is some of the best value around right now. It has 10th Gen Intel Core CPU options, NVIDIA RTX 20-series GPU options (with RTX 30-series GPUs expected soon), and one of the best 4K displays we’ve ever tested. It’s also available with an FHD display, but have a look at our HP Omen 15 review to see exactly how great the 4K display looks.
Want to go all out with performance, looks, and features? The Razer Blade 15 is pricey, but it’s a culmination of careful design, high-end performance, and some of the best gaming displays available in laptops today. Our Razer Blade 15 Advanced review demonstrates better what makes the laptop so great, and keep in mind Razer has upgraded the Blade 15 with news displays and NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics.
