5 Best Gaming Laptops Under $1000: Asus, Acer, Lenovo, and MSI

These laptops are reasonably priced under $1000 USD, and they are perfect for someone who is new to PC gaming. While $1000 might not feel like entry-level pricing, it's important to note that higher-end laptops can go for $2000, $3000, $4000, and more. The Acer Nitro 5 is a direct competitor of the previous entry above in terms of price and performance. The Lenovo Legion 5 is not really a very big name in the world of high-tier gaming laptops, but it has a better price-to-performance ratio.
