Gaming requires a good single core performance, so unless you are going to do content creation. Just focus on a good single core benchmark.
GPU

Nvidia gives better performance while using Raytracing and DLSS. But AMD GPUS give you more VRAM at a cheaper price. Don't buy GPU with less than 6GB VRAM in 2023
RAM & STORAGE

DDR 5 RAM is faster than DDR 4 but you can save a lot of money by choosing DDR4. Similarly, GEN 3 SSD is cheaper than GEN4. Take a look at these details before buying.
Cooling System

Gaming laptops tend to generate a lot of heat during intensive gameplay. Ensure that the laptop has at least 2 fans and plenty of air intake and outflow areas.
Display

Look for a laptop with a high-quality display that offers 100% sRGB, high refresh rate. A higher refresh rate, such as 144Hz or 240Hz, will provide smoother gameplay.
Upgradability

Durability is important, especially if you plan to carry your laptop around frequently. Look for laptops with sturdy build materials and check for reviews
