After testing most of the all-round multimedia and mid-range gaming laptops available in stores these days, we consider that if you have a budget of around $700 – $1000, your money would be best spent on one of the available options built on Intel Coffee Lake H hardware platforms and Nvidia 1050/1050Ti graphics.
These computers get 15 or 17-inch IPS screens and enough power to handle daily activities (browsing, movies, text-editing, music), as well as demanding work loads and most games.
However, if you’re primarily interested in gaming, you should rather consider increasing your budget by around $200 and going for a notebook with Nvidia 1060 graphics instead. That’s because while the 1050/1050 Ti chips will allow you to run smoothly almost any modern game at FHD resolution, you’ll have to trim down the details to about Medium with the recent launches. Gaming on QHD or UHD resolutions is out of their league, and they are not VR Ready either.
This article explains what to expect from the GTX 1050/1050 Ti mobile chips, where they shine and where they come short, but also gathers all the important laptops equipped with Nvidia 1050/1050Ti graphics, with details on each one’s particularities and links towards more detailed reviews.
There are three main different versions of the Nvidia GTX 1050 mobile chip, as you can see from the specs sheets below, where I also added the GTX 960 and 1060 chips for comparison:
| GTX 1050 2GB | GTX 1050 4GB | GTX 1050 Ti 4GB** | GTX 1060M 4GB | GTX 960M 4GB | |
| Architecture | Pascal | Pascal | Pascal | Pascal | Maxwell |
| Pipelines | 640 | 640 | 768 | 1280 | 640 |
| Core Speed* | 1354 MHz | 1354 MHz | 1354 MHz | 1506 MHz | 1029 MHz |
| Boost Speed* | 1493 Mhz | 1493 MHz | 1354 MHz | 1708 MHz | 1097 MHz |
| Memory | 2 GB GDDR5 | 4 GB GDDR5 | 4 GB GDDR5 | 4 GB GDDR5 | 4 GB GDDR5 |
*Core and Boost Speeds can be altered by each OEM, so they might differ from unit to unit
** a 2 GB version of the GTX 1050 Ti is also available in few configurations
The GTX 1050 chips replace the GTX 960Ms as options for mainstream laptops, but while they have a fairly similar TDP of around 50 W, they run at higher frequencies and are 20 to 50% faster in benchmarks and games. The 1050 Ti chips are more power hungry (~70W TDP), but also 15-25% more powerful than the 1050s, as you can see from the numbers below.
| GTX 1050 2GB | GTX 1050 4GB | GTX 1050 Ti 4GB | GTX 1060 6GB | GTX 960M 4GB | |
| 3D Mark 11 | ~6700 | ~7500 points | ~9000 points | ~12300 points | ~5500 points |
| 3D Mark – Fire Strike | ~5000 | ~5450 points | ~6700 points | ~9600 points | ~4000 points |
| Tomb Raider – FHD Ultimate | ~65 fps | ~70 fps | ~90 fps | ~139 fps | ~52 fps |
| Shadow of Mordor – FHD Ultra | ~45 fps | ~48 fps | ~57 fps | ~86 fps | ~29 fps |
| Bioshock Infinite – FHD Ultra | ~56 fps | ~66 fps | ~73 fps | ~100 fps | ~44 fps |
| Witcher 3 – FHD Ultra | ~20 fps | ~22 fps | ~27 fps | ~38 fps | ~15 fps |
Keep in mind that these results vary from implementation to implementation, as each manufacturer can choose different TDP levels and frequencies on each series, that’s why you should look for reviews of the exact specific model you’re interested in in order to find out what to expect in terms of performance and gaming capabilities.
In other words, take these scores as a reference comparison between these graphics chips. The results are based on our own reviews, as well as the average scores from Notebookcheck.net, who have a larger pool of tested units.
Now that you have a general picture of what to expect from Nvidia 1050 and 1050 Ti laptops, here the options to choose from. You’ll find our reviews by clicking on the links on their names, as well as more details, user reviews and up-to-date prices by clicking on the “configurations and latest prices” link in each case.
Most of these are built on Coffee Lake Core H platforms, but there are also some 2017-models built on KabyLake Core HQ CPUs and you shouldn’t dismiss them, especially as you can find these with significant discounts. This article compares the performance of the two CPU generations, in case you’re interested.
Among the latest launches, we consider that the best-value is in the Acer Nitro 5, Asus TUF FX504a dn FX505, HP Omen 15, Lenovo Legion Y530 and MSI GV62 lines, while if you’re after more premium ultraportables you should consider the Dell XPS 15, Microsoft Surface Book 2, Gigabyte Aero 14 and Asus Zenbook Pro series, but you can find other good offers in this complete list below.

In the end, expect to pay roughly $700-$800 for a modern laptop with Nvidia GTX 1050 graphics, a quad-core Intel processor and in most cases SSD+ HDD storage. Such a configuration will allow you to play games at FHD resolution with Medium settings right now, as well as in the next 1-2 years. If you can spend around $50-$100 extra, you’ll be able to buy a GTX 1050 Ti configuration, which offers a 15-25% boost in games.
If gaming is however your main concern and afford to spend $1000+ on a computer, you can find options with Nvidia GTX 1060 3 GB graphics around that price, of more powerful versions with the 6 GB GTX 1060 chip deom $1100-$1200. More about all these GTX 1060 laptops in this post, while this one covers the available options with Nvidia 1070 and 1080 graphics.
Bottom point, you must figure what you want from your laptop if you’re after the best bang for your buck. If your aim is primarily gaming, personally I’d look at those GTX 1060 options, even the 3 GB variants, over the 1050s. However, if you want a good all-rounder, only plan on playing games from time to time and don’t mind doing it on Medium settings, there’s better value for you in a more affordable GTX 1050 Ti configuration. Just don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for discounts, most OEMs offer price cuts on their units and that can influence the desirability of a particular model.
That’s about it for this post, but I must once again stress that this list of GTX 1050/1050 Ti gaming laptops is a continuous work in progress, so if you spot any errors or know of any device that should be in here and it’s not, please tell us about it in the comments section below.

Surprisngly, Dell launched a successor to its 7559, the 5577. It shares the same specs except for the 1050. Can you do a review of it please? Its now available on Amazon and Dell's website.
Andrei Girbea
April 12, 2017 at 7:32 am
The 7567 is actually the followup of the 7559 and even the Dell webpage redirects to this model. It's not available here though, but I was promised a sample once it will be. I am working on a review of the 7566 that will be available soon, which is identical to the 7567, except for the hardware specs.

Hello sir Andrei, So technically for games a core i5-6300hq with 8gb running GTX-1060 3GB NVRAM would outperform a core i7-7700hq with 4gb of RAM and using GTX-1050Ti 4GB NVRAM? Thanks and waiting for your recommendations and suggestions.

How come there are no 14 inch solutions with 1050 or 1050Ti available? 15 inch is too large for me (except maybe tiny bezel models like xps15) so want something smaller but there is only weaker gt940mx units or expansive gtx1060 gaming hardware. Is that some deal OEMs made with Nvidia, to not create anytging for the 1000USD 14 inch 1050 segment?
Dell was going to release its Inspiron gaming 7467 for it but apparently canceled without any notice (makes me angry..)
And because AMD still seems to forget bringing Polaris to mobile we cant count on them either.

I'd reckon the trend now is to fit 14-oinch screens in smaller 13-inch laptop bodies and also have 15-inch laptops with narrow bezels, so smaller than the standard 15-inchers.
That means the 14-inchers will get MX150 graphics, while these new 15-inchers like the Zenbook UX550 and Dell XPS 15 get the GTX 1050 chips. And given how these later two have a hard time cooling an HQ processor and the 1050, I'd reckon it's not yet possible to put these in smaller bodies without sacrificing thickness and weight.
I've never been a fan of 15-inchers myself, but with these newer design I can see myself living with one. As years go one I find myself more and more inclined to use a larger screen over the 12.5 and 13.3 inchers I've used for years in the past.

Greetings Dear Andrei!
which one would you go? at the same price:
Laptop Asus FX753VE-GC155T – 17.3" (i7-7700HQ/16GB/1256GB/GTX 1050Ti)
or
Laptop Asus FX502VM-DM560T – 15.6" (i7-7700HQ/8GB/1128GB/GTX 1060)
please consider that the 17.3 is IPS, the 15.6 is TN..
and that the SSD on 17.3 is 256Gb.
i am having a hard time deciding..
Thank you in advance..

I'd get the 17-incher. If you play a lot of games though, the 1060 is a better chip. The SSD and RAM could be further upgraded, but the idea of living with a TN panel is just not for me.

Hello! I’m currently looking for a laptop for college. What do you think about the new MSI PS63 Modern?
