It’s also powered by a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, which is great for gaming.

Here’s a simple and affordable option if you’re looking for a great gaming machine. The Acer Nitro 5 is a great series with plenty of powerful options in its lineup. This one in particular includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive with NVMe tech.

Here’s a pretty great deal on an entry-level gaming laptop from HP. 

The HP Victus 15.6″ is powered by a GeForce GTX 1650, complete with 8GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD storage device. The GeForce GTX 1650 in here is an older GPU, but this might make for a great entry-level gaming laptop for youngsters in your family for playing games like Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, and Genshin Impact. 

It’s surely not the best gaming laptop in the world, but at this price, it’s a truly great option for those who want to get a retro-gaming rig or for games that don’t have photo-realistic graphics, the GTX 1650 is a decent GPU for casual play. Just don’t expect to be running Cyberpunk 2077 or any intensive photo-realistic modern games on this one!

The Dell XPS lineup grows with each passing year. These are not laptops originally designed for *gaming* so much as productivity. Many of them feature integrated graphics and focus more on speed and slickness than just pure power or gaming prowess. However, some do feature dedicated graphics cards like this XPS 17. And they also still have all that speed and slickness with extra features including Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, 4K display resolution, and more.

This XPS 17 features a 12th-generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor with up to 4.70GHz speeds, a 1TB NVMe solid state drive, and 32GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM.

Well, if that last entry was a budget pick, this one definitely is not. It will cost you a few doubloons but the investment may be worth it if you’re looking to go all out on your gaming machine. Plus, you are still saving a huge chunk of change off the laptop’s regular price thanks to Walmart’s Black Friday Deals for Days sale. Heck, even when this laptop has gone on sale in the past it hasn’t dropped this low. 

The MSI GP66 Leopard is a beast of a machine with an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid state drive, and a powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card.

On average, you should expect to pay more for a gaming laptop. Truly high end laptops can cost thousands, and even the mid tier machines can set you back a pretty penny. If you’re shopping on a budget though, you do have options. This is one of those options at an incredibly low price. 

The MSI GF63, even at less than $500, does come with a discrete graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU. That’s a couple of generations behind at this point, but that’s why it’s a budget machine. And it’s still a very good card. Other specs include a 10th-gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB solid state drive. It also has a 15.6-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution.

I’m not sure how long this deal is going to last because it has already expired once. It’s great that it’s back, but don’t expect to get a lot of time to think on it. This is a fantastic price for a laptop that not only includes a discrete graphics card but an OLED panel on its beautiful display as well. 

What you get is an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB solid state drive with NVMe technology for fast read/write times. It also has a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card. The 15.6-inch display uses an OLED panel and has 1080p resolution along with touchscreen support.

Extra features include a USB-C and USB-A port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a media card reader.
