Best cheap gaming laptops under $1,000 to get right now
There has never been a better time to be a cash-strapped PC gamer in need of a new laptop. Just about every PC maker has a model for $1,000 or less and they can do more than play old games at low quality settings. You'll want to make sure you get the most graphics power you can afford from the start since this can't be upgraded later, unlike memory or storage. If you're on a strict budget, go with one of Nvidia's Geforce GTX 1050 or 1050Ti graphics cards, which will give you good performance on newer games at medium or high settings with prices starting down around $600. If you can afford to spend closer to $1,000, you'll be better off in the long run getting a laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Max Q with 6GB of memory. Beyond the graphics chip, look for: Seventh- or eighth-generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processor At least 8GB of memoryAt least a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD), a combo of a 128GB SSD and hard drive or a large solid-state hybrid drive (SSHD)All … [Read more...] about Best cheap gaming laptops under $1,000 to get right now

That starts with an 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8300H mobile processor, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive.

Tons of great games. Amazing graphics hardware. Virtual reality. Thinner and fancier gaming laptop designs. But if you're stuck using a standard laptop (or desktop) with only Intel's built-in integrated graphics instead of a dedicated GPU from Nvidia or AMD, finding games that will work well is a bit tougher.
