Gaming laptops under $1,000

• Acer Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming, Intel Core i5-1240P CPU/Intel Iris Xe graphics/16-inch 1600p display, $516.99 ($83 off)
• Acer Nitro V, Intel Core i5-13420H CPU/Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU/15.6-inch 1080p display, $649.99 ($130 off)
• MSI Thin 15, Intel Core i7-12650H CPU/Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU/15.6-inch 1080p display, $759.99 ($140 off)

Looking to pick up an entry-level gaming laptop for a reasonable price? The Acer Nitro V is a fine pick. It’s powered by an Intel Core i5-13420H CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, so it should be able to run most modern games on the medium to high graphics preset, and it’s rare to find a gaming laptop with discrete graphics going this rock-bottom cheap.

The 15.6-inch 1080p display also has a refresh rate of 144Hz, which means gameplay should be smooth and responsive. This is perfect if you’re into faster paced games like Doom Eternal or Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Other neat features include DTS X: Ultra Audio, Thunderbolt 4 support, and access to the NitroSense utility app, which allows you to adjust the fan speeds or personalize lighting effects.

The MSI Katana 17 is a great option for those who like to game on a big screen. The 1080p display measures a massive 17.3 inches, which is absolutely humongous! It’s the kind of screen I’d play Sid Meier’s Civilization VI on because I like being able to see every little detail.

You’re also getting an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage. That’s a good amount of power right there! This machine should have no issues running graphically intensive games.
