Even budget gaming models are stuffed with relatively powerful hardware that can easily run not only simple games, like online blackjack, but also some modern titles at high graphics settings, even if not at maximum. Here are the best gaming laptops for a reasonable price.
List Of The Best Budget Laptop For Gaming
Acer Aspire 5 A515-57G
On board, there is an Intel Core i5-1240P processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, and the screen is an IPS matrix with a refresh rate of 60Hz and a diagonal of 15.6 inches. However, the processor isn't that bad. The laptop will cope even with heavy duties, like video rendering.

And it will be good for low-cost gaming, but in the most modern games, the settings will have to be twisted to the zone of medium-low. But it will help you play not the most up-to-date titles without problems. It's worth mentioning that there is no pre-installed operating system on the laptop.
ASUS ROG STRIX G15
It's a model for those who trust only time-tested brands. The laptop is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, which beats the common "mobile" Intel Core i5-12450H in multithreaded performance mode (and is slightly inferior in single-threaded performance). It's paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050; the video card will be enough to play the most topical titles at medium graphics settings with DLSS scaling enabled.
And if another IPS-screen with a diagonal of 15.6 inches or another 16 GB of RAM in this text is unlikely to surprise anyone, the whole 1 TB of fast SSD memory will be a pleasant surprise.
Thunderobot 911S Core SD
Another extremely affordable model with a powerful Intel Core i5-12450H processor and 512 GB of fast SSD memory, but the video card here is better: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. That is, the laptop can handle Cyberpunk 2077 in 1080p/60fps at medium graphics settings with DLSS enabled.
This laptop comes with 8 GB of RAM; it's modest by modern standards, but the situation is solved by an upgrade: if you want, you can "charge" up to 64 GB of RAM into the system. And there is also a gamer-level screen: high refresh rate of 144 Hz and IPS. However, the 15.6-inch diagonal may seem a bit small for gaming; the situation will be solved by an external monitor.
By the way, if you don't want to bother with upgrading and buying additional RAM, you can take a closer look at the Thunderobot 911S Core D model.
MSI Katana 17
It's a time-tested classic from MSI. Of course, for the branded quality of materials, you have to overpay a little because it's a seal of quality. For the available price tag, a player will get a solid Intel Core i5-11260H processor, a budget NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, 8 GB of RAM (expandable up to 64 GB), and 512 GB of SSD space.
Special attention should also be paid to the luxurious anti-glare 144Hz IPS anti-glare 144Hz 17-inch screen. In high-tech titles, you will have to make do with medium-low graphics settings, but for everyday tasks, the laptop is perfect. For Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, or Fortnite-level games, it's a great choice.
