How to choose the right gaming laptop for less than a thousand euros

Weve set out to buy a gaming laptop that offers a good experience within a budget of less than a thousand euros.

While in other gaming laptop buying guides  hardware is essential when were cutting budgets this is the most crucial aspect to achieving it.

Considering increasingly demanding titles and tight budgets its essential to choose components like the CPU GPU RAM and storage wisely  leaving aside aspects like design display sound and dimensions.

 Of course even in this price range well find some of the most thoughtful and attractive options.

Gaming is one of the most demanding applications and puts the most stress on a computers hardware.

Although all components contribute to performance the goal is to achieve a balanced system to avoid performance bottle necks .

In this regard the graphics card and processor are the most decisive factors .

Graphic card

Ideally you should choose a graphics card that allows you to play (most) current titles at 1080p with the highest image quality and an average frame rate of at least 60 FPS .

Currently models with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 are the most common . These are graphics cards that have ray tracing  great performance and are more affordable than the latest generation.

Fortunately there are plenty of systems with these graphics cards in our price range. In fact its even possible to find some models with the latest generation graphics for less than 1000 euros.

If we take into account that in this price range we are going to find panels with Full HD resolution the ideal would be an RTX 4050 but if we are left out of those models a computer with a GeForce RTX 3050 GPU at this resolution offers good performance.

If we are thinking about the future and we can afford it RTX with ray tracing should not escape our radar .

However there are also very affordable alternatives that offer good performance at 1080p such as the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPU (or AMD equivalent) with 6GB of dedicated memory although without ray tracing .

 Having a budget of at most 1000 euros forces us to rule out the most powerful GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD but even so there are ideal options for playing at 1080p and even at 1440p.

A laptop equipped with a GeForce RTX 1650 can cost us around 600 euros and it works well at 1080p.

 But the good news is that we also have computers that opt ​​for a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti and whose price does not exceed the 1000 euro barrier.

They work wonderfully at 1080p and feel reasonably comfortable at 1440p. This is my favorite option at this price range.

Processor

Processor is the next component on our analysis table. Both Intel and AMD have very capable microprocessors and although the latter are priced lower allowing us to save some money its common for manufacturers to opt for Intel + NVIDIA combinations .

For a gaming computer although it may seem otherwise it is not necessary to have a processor located at the highest end of the range.

 You always have to make sure that it does not create a bottleneck but today under Intel we can configure a good gaming computer starting from at least a Core i5 taking into account that it does not need to be a model with overclocking capacity but we should avoid the low consumption series designed for ultra books .

 One from the H series is more than enough. In AMD there are interesting alternatives for power/price ratio but at least it would be a Ryzen 5 of the latest generation.

If we stick to the CPU my advice is to go for a 12th or 13th generation Intel Core processor or an AMD Ryzen Mobile 6000 or better yet Ryzen Mobile 7000.

 A laptop equipped with an Intel Core i512500H usually costs around 700 euros but if our budget is close to 1000 euros we can probably get a 12th generation Core i7 or a comparable AMD Ryzen. Honey on flakes.

RAM memory

Ideally you should opt for models with as much RAM as possible . But considering your budget the number will likely be between 8GB and 16GB with the latter being the most common today.

 Its also the most recommended if you want to perform other tasks simultaneously.

 In any case although its even more important if you decide to go for this component make sure you can easily access the modules and upgrade them later.

16 GB of RAM has become the norm in these devices recently  and thats the ideal amount for gaming and work .

Try to look for models with 16 GB. Its also recommended that the RAM be fast and if we can also expand it later  a complete combination.

They must be capable of working at least at 2666MHz effective . If the memory modules are even faster even better but in no case would I opt for less than 16GB of main memory.

Storage

Its common these days for almost all gaming laptops to include an SSD storage unit as standard. These are typically 512GB SSDs. You dont see many machines with a 1TB SSD for under €1000.

if we have to adjust the budget its better to look for a computer with a 512 GB SSD drive with an NVMe M.2 interface since thats the minimum required. And if its capacity is 1 TB even better.

And the rest?

We mentioned this in the RAM section but its worth repeating for more affordable gaming laptops its even more important to know how easy it is to open the machine 

if possible otherwise youll always have to read other users reviews since components like the RAM and hard drive are generally easy to replace with others with superior features at relatively low prices.

For less than a thousand euros finding 4K panels with high refresh rates is impossible a 15.6inch panel with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) and capable of reaching a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

if we find a deal screens with a 144 Hz refresh rate although they are usually intended for more expensive computers with more powerful dedicated graphics that can provide that FPS rate in some titles.

if we plan to play mobile games the battery is a critical factor and there are substantial differences between devices.

However he emphasizes cooling as it impacts the reliability and lifespan of the device . It also affects the noise and heat generated during operation which isnt bothersome…
