The field of budget and high-end gaming laptops is going to continue changing, especially as all the major players behind core components have new hardware on the way. AMD's Ryzen series mobile processors are starting to show up in laptops, and they aren't going unanswered.
Intel and Nvidia have both recently announced the latest hardware they have coming to power laptops. Nvidia is upping the power of its mobile graphics processors by bringing the Super variants of its GeForce RTX and to mobile devices.
These new mobile GPUs will also be Max-Q parts, so they won't be as power hungry as the desktop variants. Intel is also bringing more power to laptops with new, 10th Generation Intel Core H-Series processors. Intel has seen AMD bumping up its core counts, and it's coming to the table with an eight-core, thread processor. It's also offering at least 5. These new parts are definitely going to show up more in high-end, and therefore expensive, gaming laptops, but there's a strong likelihood that the lower-end products will see their prices fall as a result.
Below I've sketched out which graphics card and what other specs you need in a cheap gaming laptop. I also go over the main features to consider when shopping for a cheap gaming notebook. For screen resolution, a p display hits the sweet spot between price and required GPU beefiness. It is really the only option for a value-oriented gaming laptop.
Even if you could score a cheap laptop with a high-resolution 4K panel , the GPU inside won't be able to run games at that resolution, so prepare yourself for p gaming. When it comes to storage, try to steer clear of laptops with a lone solid-state drive. Heck, even a model with a GB SSD offers barely enough space to keep multiple games installed and at the ready, so you might be stuck getting a system with a slower, yet much more spacious, spinning hard drive.
You can also get a sweet deal by going with something older sporting previous generation processors, as they are usually available at fire-sale prices and there's not a huge difference in performance between 8th Gen Coffee Lake and 9th Gen Coffee Lake Refresh for gaming. You won't be quite as future-proof down the line, but you'll still enjoy several years of solid p gaming at a low price.
One more thing: just because it's a laptop doesn't mean you need to take its name literally. However, daunting doesn't mean impossible.
And with AMD making a resurgence in the gaming laptop space and Intel releasing its 10th Gen Comet Lake H-Series processor, there are a bunch of viable choices to consider. And despite their prices, these cheap laptops can do just about everything their more powerful brethren can, including supporting VR headsets and playing AAA titles at solid frame rates. That means, you can get a gaming laptop with last-gen's specs, which are still plenty powerful, for a reasonable price.
We've compiled a list of the best cheap gaming laptops because we know gaming is an expensive hobby. With all the games and peripherals, it can get pricey really fast.
