Top Ten Best Cheap Gaming Laptops Under 300

I believe Acer is one of the best values in laptops. But with value comes some compromises. For this purchase, I was just looking at raw specifications and wanted top-of-the-line or near-top for a 16 gaming laptop. (I was fine with a 13th gen Intel CPU b/c there really isn't any meaningful improvement to the 14th gen, so buying a laptop that has been out for a year is an even better way to save money). This laptop has fantastic performance - I use it to game and for video/audio editing via Premiere. I can run any game I care to play at max settings. The screen is surprisingly vibrant, even though it's not the mini-led. Be aware that battery life for this laptop (and most upper-end gaming laptops in general) is pretty atrocious (2, MAYBE 3 hours under light usage). If you plan to do anything processor/GPU intensive on battery alone..., it's not going to happen. This laptop is happiest being plugged in and acting as a desktop replacement more than a true laptop that you're going to carry around all the time. I love it because I can take it with me when I travel and have an awesome machine with a small(er) footprint. This laptop isn't the most quiet (the fans can get pretty raucous), it isn't the best-looking, and doesn't have the best thermals, but it is, in my opinion, a great buy at a very reasonable price if you understand what these types of machines are like.

Best and cheap!

I've had 3 Asus gaming laptops, and this is all I'll buy.

THIS IS A GREAT BUY!!!!BEST MIC YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER 500!!!...WILL BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN VERY SOON!!@@!!!! JW

Nice free gaming bundle to go to RTX-capable laptops!

This is my third Denon receiver. Best one yet. I usually upgrade every ten years. Hopefully this one will last ten years.

Under $5, how could you go wrong? Thank You!

Best choice for a cheap UV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great. We got them for a gaming laptop so it's perfect for that and just what it needs. I know nothing about laptops so we had someone else put it in but it's worked out great! Would definitely recommend to friends and family that need good running laptops for sure!! Thanks for a great product!

I wanted to max out my gaming laptops memory and with this kit i was able to do it at a low price. I went into the laptop manufacturer website and figured out how to open the laptop and how to upgrade the memory. Removed 8 screws, took out the old memory modules, put in the new ones, closed the laptop back again and turned it on. Less than a minute later, the laptop recognized the new memory and now windows loads faster than ever. Highly recommended
