Growing number of 4K laptops prove that size doesn’t matter in 2015 – it’s possible to be small and compact while still offering cutting-edge graphics. These laptops are moving well beyond full high definition to offer amazing 4K resolution – that’s four times the resolution of 1080p.
These 4K laptops offer unparalleled visual fidelity, transforming games and movies with a level of detail that needs to be seen to be believed. Even day-to-day tasks can benefit from the huge 4K resolution, allowing you to have more apps open on screen at once. Here, we’ve tested five of the best 4K laptops to see how well they cope with ultrahigh definition visuals. Displaying 4K takes a lot of power, so are these laptops up to the task? Read on to find out…
MSI GS60 2QE GHOST PRO 4K
Sleek Looks, with a Powerful Performance to Match
This sets out to be the ultimate gaming laptop, and even before you load up a game and start taking head shots you can tell it’s a machine that means business. The chassis of the GS60 is thin and rather understated for a gaming laptop, which makes a nice change from some of the more ostentatious devices we’ve seen that scream out for attention, but sometimes end up looking tacky. The GS60 suffers no such fate with a cool, black metal design. The Gaming G Series badge adorns the back and it won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but at least it’s relatively subtle. At 19.9mm thick with the lid closed, as far as gaming laptops go, it’s impressively thin. MSI GS60 2QE GHOST PRO can be best 4K Laptops in 2015 for you.
The large keyboard has been created by gaming experts SteelSeries and each key is back-lit by a rainbow of colors. Again this won’t be to everyone’s taste, but it is at least fully customizable. Most importantly the keyboard feels great to use and is fast and responsive – essential if you’re going to be playing games, which you’ll want to of course. Despite its thin size, the GS60 packs a host of cutting-edge, top-of-the-range technology that will make even the most powerful of gaming rigs tremble. It packs a powerful Nvidia GeFore GTX 970M graphics card with 3GB of GDDR5 VRAM. This is exactly what you need for playing games at ultra-high definition.

Backing up the graphics is a fourth generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a Killer Double Shot Pro GB LAN card that’ll make sure you can play online multi-player games without any hitches. The crowning glory is the 15.6-inch 4K ultra-high definition PLS wide-view screen, which makes games look simply stunning. The high resolution breathes new life into your games, and the powerful GS60 is more than capable of keeping up.
Acer V Nitro Black Edition 4K
A Good All-Round 4K Laptop But Not the Best for Gaming
The Acer V Nitro is another laptop that’s capable of ultra-high resolution graphics, and like the MSI GS60 it’s squarely aimed at gamers who want the ultimate graphics power in a compact laptop that they can carry around with them. With the lid closed the Acer strikes a very stylish figure with an understated, black matte finish and silver highlights. Don’t go thinking this laptop is just all work and no play, however, because once you open it up you’ll see the V Nitro Black Edition’s true gaming colours with a red backlit keyboard that looks and feels fantastic. The specifications aren’t quite as powerful as the MSI GS60’s, but they’re still nothing to be sniffed at, with a fourth generation Intel Core i7-4710HQ Quad Core processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX860M graphics and 16GB of RAM. The specs might not be quite as all encompassing as MSI’s beast of a laptop, but it does mean that the Acer is certainly a more affordable prospect. Acer V Nitro Black Edition 4K laptop has the power to become your best 4K laptop in 2015.

The 4K ultra-high definition IPS screen comes in two sizes – 15.6 inches and 17.3 inches. The 17-incher might be a little too big and cumbersome for some tastes but, if you really want to revel at 4K in all its ridiculously-detailed glory, then we’d recommend the larger screen any day. You’ll probably need to put in some extra sessions at the gym to be able to lug it around, though. Acer also offers plenty of customization choices to help you buy a model that suits your exact needs. It’s a great way of making sure that you’re only paying for what you intend to use the laptop for. This is a fantastic all-round 4K laptop that’s great if you also like dabbling with games occasionally. If you’re a true gaming fanatic, however, you’ll get a lot extra from MSI’s more powerful machine.
Toshiba Satellite P50-B
Ideal For Creative Professionals With Superb Color Reproduction
The Satellite P50 takes a more, shall we say, professional approach to 4K, designed with visual creative professionals and media fans in mind. Toshiba has set out to challenge the notion that if you work with media you’ll want to use a Mac. The 15.6-inch ultra-high definition display is designed to offer natural color, with the screen itself calibrated by Chroma Tune and certified by Technicolour. If you want the most true-to-life colors available, then the Toshiba Satellite P50-B is a must. The insanely high resolution and attention to detail when it comes to color reproduction means that the P50-B is ideal for professional photographers and digital artists too. That doesn’t mean that if you’re not a professional there’s nothing here for you. The screen is also fantastic at displaying films and TV shows, and with Harman Kardon stereo speakers and DTS Sound audio enhancement the Satellite P50-B is also a phenomenal laptop when it comes to movies and music. Toshiba Satellite P50-B with superb color reproduction laptop is currently one of the 4K laptop in 2015.

A particularly cool feature is that you don’t even need to turn on the laptop to make use of the fantastic Harman Kardon speakers – simply plug in an MP3 player full of your favorite tunes and you’re good to go. Powering all of this is a hefty Intel Core i7 processor, AMD Radeon R9 M265X Enthusiast Graphics for incredible gaming performance and up to 16GB of RAM. You also get a huge 1TB of space, again essential for photographers, digital artists and media professionals, and you can give Windows a speed boost with an 8GB SS D. It might not be quite as nippy as some of the other laptops on test here, but in return you get a lot more storage space. All of this is wrapped up in an attractive aluminum chassis that weighs 2.3kg. It’s not the thinnest laptop, with a thickness of 27.9mm, but it still looks fantastic.
Lenovo Y50 4K
A Customizable, No-nonsense Laptop But Not the Most Powerful
Lenovo might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think about gaming laptops, with the company better known for its no-nonsense business laptops. However, Lenovo has been making a decent name for itself with its Yoga line. As the name suggests, the Y50 4K brings a stunning 4K display to the Yoga line with a lovely 15.6-inch screen. A 256GB SS D, 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 4700HQ processor and 16GB of RAM keeps Windows 8.1 ticking over nicely. Sadly, the UK version of the Lenovo Y50 Touch 4K does not come with a touchscreen as it does in the US . However, using a touchscreen at 4K resolution can sometimes end up as a frustrating war of attrition between chubby fingers and pixel-perfect accuracy, so maybe it’s not all that bad that we’re not getting the touchscreen option on these shores. The bold, angular design with a red backlit keyboard is a world away from Lenovo’s rather uninspired ThinkPad laptops, and it makes it clear that the Y50 is a laptop with gaming in mind. It’s a shame that the Y50 isn’t quite as good as the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 4K-080, as it comes with an ageing graphics card that doesn’t quite cut it when playing the latest games at 4K resolution. Unlike MSI’s offering, the Y50’s keyboard isn’t especially designed for gaming either. Lenovo Y50 4K is rich in specifications and can be surely one of the best 4K laptops of 2015 with lots of customizations.

This might not be a problem for all but the most enthusiastic online gamers, but it does mean that if you want a no-compromises 4K gaming laptop you’d be better off going with MSI over Lenovo. It’s worth bearing in mind that the Y50 is a lot cheaper than MSI’s laptop, however. That’s not to say the Y50 doesn’t have its advantages. Like many of Lenovo’s laptops there’s a huge range of customisation options that allow you to tailor it to fit your needs, so you can save money on features you’re unlikely to use.
