About PC4U

PC4U helps you pick a gaming laptop or PC that fits your budget, then shows where the money should go before you buy anything. We cover gaming laptops, prebuilt gaming desktops, budget gaming PCs, PC building and budget planning, and laptops for students, programmers and video editors.

How the guides are written

• Specs from the source. Product details come from the makers’ published specifications and current US listings, checked against the exact model we name. Every buying guide shows the date its details were last checked.
• Comparisons by specification. We compare published hardware details, configurations and upgrade options to explain which jobs a laptop or PC suits.
• Budgets in context. Our budget guidance explains the trade-offs in graphics, display quality, memory, storage and upgrade options. Check the linked retailer’s current offer when deciding what to buy.
• Corrections. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact page and we will check it and fix the guide.

How the site is funded

Some buying guides link to products at retailers. How that works is explained on the affiliate disclosure page. It never changes what we recommend or the order of a list.
