Apart from being a hardcore PC gamer, I have done a number of reviews on gaming laptops in general and what I have come to understand is that at almost every price range, you can get yourself a good gaming laptop. But then, it is better at some prices and easier to get. Today, the focus is on the best gaming laptop under 1000 dollars.
Before settling to get a good gaming laptop under 1000 dollars or at any price range, there are some very important things you need to consider. These mostly have to do with the build and the performance of the laptops.
One of the first things you will want to look at is the processor. I am not a fan of anything below the Intel core i5. The higher you go, the better. You will also want to have a RAM that at worst doesn’t go below 8 GB, an SSD instead of an HDD for speed and better performance, and good battery life.
Many people may not see the screen size as something of importance, but a gamer knows 15 inches is better than smaller sized screens. More so, you will want a very good screen resolution. If you can afford 4K, why not?
There are other things that you will want to consider seriously such as the GPU, for which it will only be good to go with a Nvidia Pascal-based GPU. The ability and ease of having the laptop upgraded along with the accessories are other things you want to seriously consider.
It will be very hard for you to get a laptop that will give you all those in the exact manner that you want, most especially if you are on below $1000. On this review, however, I have collected those that will give you most of that.
Before anything, almost every gamer knows the Predator line of Acer because of the build and performance it offers to gamers. It also has beauty to it while promising to last a good time.
A VR ready beast, it has a 15.6″ Full HD with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
With the performance, this laptop stands somewhere with those that are way more expensive as it has an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and a 16GB DDR4 RAM which combine to give a good performance and ensure that you do not have any trouble running heavy games and multitasking.
What is more is that it has a 256GB SSD for added performance, although the space may not be much if you intend to do a lot of storage. But you will not find it hard to upgrade both the storage and the RAM if you need more.
Inasmuch as the display is good, it is generally tonned down, a step you would appreciate if you engage in marathon gaming. The keyboard is lighted and responsive while the battery performance is able to deliver as much as 7 hours.

Not the brightest screens if you love playing with very bright screens but this is still good enough and saves the eyes from getting easily tired
There was never a time that I envisioned Lenovo as a company that would be able to pull it off with gaming laptops. Miracles do happen, don’t they? The company has come up with many that have come as the best most especially in this price range.
With the Legion Y520, Lenovo has given one that meets the needs for performance and being rugged. That said, it doesn’t have that aluminum feel that you get with some others, even as the plastic used is very good and the laptop is sleek and not heavy.
A 15.6″ laptop, it has a screen with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. For the performance, the Legion has an Intel Core i5 processor with NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card.
It is further enhanced by the 256 GB SSD that is featured. With the RAM, I would have loved to see more than 8 GB, but when you consider that it is an SSD storage that it comes with, you immediately realize the speed is guaranteed.
For the battery life, 4 hours isn’t what I would have wanted to see. But then looking at the price and other features, the laptop has compensated.
Features
Processor: Intel Core i5-7300HQ
Display:6 inches 1920 by1080 pixels
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050ti
Storage: 256GB PCIe SSD

Pros
Good general features.
It has good performance.

Sleek and aesthetically on point.
Cons
I would have loved to see higher RAM
Not the best battery life.
Conclusion
The best gaming laptop under 1000 dollars will be able to ride you through any kind of gaming you need. That is what you get to have with those on the list. They may not compete with many others that are more expensive, such as the best gaming laptops under $1500 or those above, but they would serve in their own rights.
