Entry-level gaming laptops get more expensive each year, making it hard to call them budget or cheap rigs. Even our best cheap gaming laptops page has a few select choices. But hope is not lost for those trying to maintain a budget under $1,000.
I reviewed the Gigabyte G6 KF (2024), a gaming laptop that I despised. It still cost over $1,000, and I could not fathom why. It felt like it was built as cheaply as possible, though it came with an RTX 4060 GPU. But is that really impressive?
