It's often possible to purchase basic GTX 1060 laptops around the $1,200 mark as well. Newegg occasionally has sales on gaming laptops, which can bring the price of systems like the aforementioned GT62VR down to under $1,300. There are some GTX 1060 models floating around that sacrifice the SSD and some RAM to hit $1,200, and this could be worth it: the GTX 1060 is 70 to 90 percent faster, which leads to a much better gaming experience even without an SSD.

Although the GE72 7RE lacks a certification for virtual reality, you can still consider it a gaming notebook. Nvidia's brand new GeForce GTX 1050 Ti mostly offers sufficient performance for achieving halfway decent frame rates with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and high details.

MSI has been making a LOT of gaming laptops. They're all different shapes and sizes and all offer something for everyone. The MSI GE62 7RD Apache is a mildly-portable gaming machine that's not as powerful as some dual-graphics monsters, but it's much smaller...
