I review the best gaming laptops for Tom’s Guide and enjoy recommending them to our readers and folks I meet. It’s not always easy given how most gaming laptops are pricey. Thankfully, Black Friday deals are already in full swing at numerous retailers. That means I can now recommend portable gaming rigs without feeling guilty that someone is spending a good chunk of their hard-earned money.
To that end, I’ve found 7 great gaming laptops worth considering. All of these machines are relatively recent and some even cost under $1,000. While I’m not currently in the market for a new gaming laptop, I’d buy any of these if I were.
