Why 17 inch gaming laptop?
When gambling, a good gaming experience is the most important thing. A large monitor contributes to this: It not only increases immersion through better presentation, but can even offer game-changing advantages, for example if details can be seen earlier.
But a 17-inch gaming laptop also offers other advantages. The large notebooks have more space to rest the palms of the hands when writing and typing on the keyboard. Numpads are also more likely to be found on a large device than on a small notebook – not decisive for the game, but a nice feature if you need additional keyboard assignments or if you also want to use the laptop as a work device.
