What does it cost to buy a gaming laptop?
Today you can easily spend upward of $2,000 on a high-end model with eye-watering specs, but if you’re willing to shop around you can find a perfectly capable option for around $1,000.
That’s roughly double the price of a brand new Sony PlayStation 5 or Microsoft Xbox Series X. But if you’re looking to get some work done in addition to playing the latest games like “Star Wars Jedi Survivor” and “Resident Evil 4,” a gaming laptop may be the smarter buy.
The best budget gaming laptops are equipped with high-end Intel and AMD processors, large amounts of memory and storage, and dedicated graphics cards, all of which work together to provide a smooth gaming spectacle.
