The screen is not only bigger it’s also a high-quality one with no PWM, 75Hz refresh rate, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. This makes him a one-of-a-kind offer as most 17.3-inch models are more expensive. This Predator also has a 17.3-ich display as the name suggests. The Acer Predator 17 packs an Intel Core i7-6700HQ and a GTX 1060 graphics card which are the usual components of a notebook of that price. When we bump our budget to $1500 we have some great opportunities. WINNER: MSI GP62MVR Other laptops under $1000 worth mentioning Unfortunately, we do not have a detailed review on this particular model but what we can say for sure is that the GTX 1060 just makes it a good choice when we take the price in mind – $999. Most laptops in this price range pack a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti but the MSI GP62MVR is equipped with the VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. This little bad boy stands out in the crowd with its graphics cards. The other model we recommend is the MSI GP62MVR – It uses PWM across all brightness levels and the color reproduction isn’t the best. What we didn’t like is the fact that the display is not of a high quality.

It also has an M.2 SATA slot so you will be able to upgrade with the best SSDs out there.

You can check out its full review over here: The first one is the Acer Aspire VX 15 – In this category, we have picked two great deals. Under $1000 you can’t expect very high performance but still, you’ll get enough power to dive into the gaming world and play AAA titles at least as if it was on a console. First, let’s take a look at the budget gaming notebooks.
