Choosing a gaming laptop can be a very difficult decision. A lot of them are very expensive, but if you’re not looking to shell out $1,000 or more, here is a list of gaming laptops that although they may not be the top gaming experience, you will still be able to thoroughly enjoy PC gaming and all for under $1,000.

If you are looking to buy a laptop specifically for gaming purposes, there is a fact that you will simply have to get over…it’s not cheap. For $1,000+, you can get a fantastic gaming laptop that will come complete with a Blu-ray player, a top of the line Nvidia discrete graphics chipset, and a ton of other great features. For the gamers that aren’t wanting to spend that much money on their gaming device, there are other options. Unfortunately, gamers who are on a budget may have to sacrifice and opt for laptops without a DVD drive or maybe an optical drive at all, an ATI or lower-end discrete graphics, and a pretty standard set of features. Really sacrificing things like this isn’t the end of the world. You will still be able to enjoy gaming on your new laptop.

In the $800 price range of gaming laptops, there are plenty of wonderful options. Some of the top laptops include: the Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4820TG-7805 ($800), the Gateway ID49C13u ($849.99), and the Samsung QX410-J01 ($829.99). Laptops such as these are able to play graphically demanding video games well on a medium quality setting. For some games, you may need to turn down some of the textures, but nothing drastic. You can play games like Starcraft II, World of Warcraft, Fallout: New Vegas, and Civilization V with no issues. They’re all good, quality laptops.

In the $900 price range of gaming laptops, there are even more great options. The Samsung R540-11 ($999) and the HP Pavilion dv7-4183cl ($999.99) are some of the best options in this category. By paying a little bit more, you will be provided with some awesome bonus features and a very solid gaming experience. Both the Samsung and HP Pavilion gaming laptops have Blu-ray players and 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch screens. In most cases, you would definitely have to shell out more than $1,000 to get features like this. The Samsung and the HP Pavilion are really pretty good deals.
