Where you buy the item generally does not matter in many cases for boxstores that isn't a specialty for computers.
In store (from what I seen) will always have floor samples at a discounted price or their stock (depending on location) will have older generation to push towards people that does not really know what they are looking for.

Best in what kind of way?

Lowest possible that can run the game itself (in terms of newer generation hardware)?
Do you have some sort of budget in mind?
Intended to stay plugged in while playing?
Does the screen quality matter (higher than 1080p)?


If you want, you can try this sub-section as well.

Thabk you. Ok just inquiring and after some thought decided to stick to desktop. Desktop always is better for gaming in my opinion. Ill deal with the slow loading screen but operation wize no lag and quick refresh rate.

you dont want to "game" on a laptop because games run the cpu/gpu hard and this makes a lot of heat. i stick with using a desktop tower with high ventilation so you can run those heavy games. laptops should not replace desktops as its for mobile like when your on vacation or at work.

laptop modification are harder and more expensive if you want better cooling / gpu.
