MediaMarkt has launched its “Gaming Weeks.” We present to you the 4 most interesting gaming laptops that you can find in the current offer.
Currently, there are several gaming laptops in the offers from MediaMarkt. We at MeinMMO look at what the devices can do and for whom they are recommended. Before that, we have a few tips that you should consider when buying.
Gaming Laptop: What to consider when buying
The following tips should be considered when buying a gaming laptop.
Graphics Card:
- Gaming laptops with a GTX 1650 are positioned in the lower performance range. If you are a casual gamer and do not care about the best graphics, then you can take a look at these devices. For people who play Fortnite and games without significant graphical demands, the performance is completely sufficient.
- With the GTX 1660 Ti and faster, you can play almost all modern titles on high settings. You also benefit from higher FPS numbers here – if your screen allows it.
- The mobile variants of the RTX 2060, RTX 2070, and RTX 2080 offer you enough power for maximum details and high frame rates. However, the prices here are often above 1000 euros.
RAM:
- If you want to game with the device, at least 16 GB of RAM should be installed.
- If you want to be future-proof, you should even consider 32 GB.
- 8 GB are rather installed in budget laptops. Here you should pay attention to whether you can replace or expand the RAM if necessary.
- It is practical if you can expand the memory yourself and the RAM is not permanently soldered to the laptop’s motherboard.
Interfaces:
- HDMI, USB, LAN, and headphone ports should be present on every gaming laptop. A card reader can also be useful, but it can also be added later as an adapter.
- Thunderbolt ports are particularly interesting. Large amounts of data can be transferred quickly here. External graphics cards (so-called eGPUs) can be connected via this.
Laptop or Gaming PC: The prices for good laptops start at 700 euros and can easily surpass the 1000-euro mark with corresponding performance. In principle, you should consider what you need the device for. If your future notebook is primarily going to be on your desk anyway, you should rather look for a desktop PC. These are significantly cheaper than investing in mobile technology.
MSI GF75 10SDR Thin
What the device offers: The MSI GF75 10SDR Thin offers you a good configuration for a gaming laptop with the Intel i7-10750H, 16 GB of RAM, and a GTX 1660 Ti with 6 GB. The performance of the graphics card is sufficient to utilize the 144 Hz of the screen and offers enough power for demanding games with high FPS.
The battery life is around 4 hours. This is acceptable but could be better. Under load, the device also becomes quite loud.
Who is the device suitable for? The GTX 1660 Ti offers you enough power for Full HD gaming and occasionally even sufficient reserves for WQHD. If you want to play on a 4K screen, the performance is not enough. However, the gaming laptop is definitely sufficient for fast FPS titles.

HP OMEN 15-ek0302ng
What the device offers: The “OMEN 15-ek0302ng” from HP offers you a lot of power for just over €1,200. This includes an Intel i5-10300H processor and a GeForce RTX 2070 with 8 GB of video memory. HP has installed an anti-glare Full HD display with 144 Hz. This makes the device especially suitable for fast shooters like Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone. Also good: The hard drive and RAM can be relatively easily swapped, and the device offers Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort.
The battery life of the device is between 5 and 6 hours when surfing or listening to music.
The low screen contrast and high power consumption are less good. Especially under load, the device consumes almost 200 watts, making it more power-hungry than comparable devices.

Here you can buy the device: Currently, you can buy the device at MediaMarkt for €1266.26 (€1587.93), you save 20%.

At 2.4 kg, the device is quite heavy and does not have Thunderbolt 3. Under load, the device may also become loud.
Who is the device suitable for? With the GeForce RTX 2060, you won’t have problems if you want to game at high resolutions with high FPS. Full HD and WQHD are not a problem, but it gets tight at 4K.

Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-52-56A7)
What the device offers: The laptop from Acer offers you an Intel i5-10300H processor and a 1650 Ti with 4 GB of video memory. The GTX 1650 Ti can handle most titles in Full HD, but for some new games, you will have to adjust the details. A fast PCIe SSD is installed internally. The long battery life of around 8 hours is also commendable.
However, the small RAM with 8 GB is a drawback. The same goes for the connectors. With USB ports, one HDMI, and headphone/microphone combo jack, the device is poorly equipped. Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, or card reader are not available. However, the RAM of the device can be easily expanded since it is not permanently soldered. You only need a screwdriver for the upgrade.
Who is the device suitable for? The GTX 1650 Ti offers enough power for games in Full HD. If you are a casual gamer and can do without detail, then you can consider this device. Especially for casual games like Fortnite and games without significant graphical demands, the performance is completely sufficient. The 60 Hz display is also aimed at moderate players.
Here you can buy the device: Currently, you can get the Acer gaming laptop on sale. At MediaMarkt, the device currently costs €925.09 (€1049,-), you save 11%.
