Proving you don't have to spend thousands to get a quality, cheap gaming laptop, there are a fair few great cheap laptop options on sale at Walmart right now. These are genuinely capable machines that can offer you a range of 'levels' of PC gaming enjoyment. They prove you won't have to compromise on performance, quality, or components as much as you think when dipping below the four-figure mark. 

- Walmart cheap gaming laptop sale: Acer Nitro gaming laptop - just $479

Given the value that they offer, these cheap laptops give some of the very best gaming laptops a serious run for their money.

Other cheap gaming laptop deals:
Walmart | Best Buy | Amazon | Newegg

The headline is the aforementioned and linked Acer Nitro model. Acer's Nitros are an established budget gaming laptop and come from a reputable maker. For just $479, this is an awesome deal for anyone looking for a gaming machine to mess around with when you're on the go, or as someone's first venture into PC gaming. 

Beyond that is a solid ASUS entry-level laptop for just $749. This scales everything back a bit but will still have you enjoying games of all stripes - at lower settings, naturally. It has a Ryzen 7 3750H processor, a GTX 1650 graphics card, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. And then if you really can stretch the budget you can get a similar ASUS machine, this time with the top 'budget graphics card, the GTX 1660Ti, for just $849. And at the top level of gaming laptops under $1000 right now, this EVOO laptop has $500 dollars off and is down to just $999 today. It has an i7-9750H processor, a GTX 1660Ti graphics card, a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. If we ruthlessly look at specs alone, this is probably the best configuration we can find at the retailer going for under $1000. 

Nonetheless, all of these deals very much prove that, with a bit of luck and through some trawling, you can get a quality cheap gaming laptop under $1000.

A solid build centered around a1660Ti graphics card, though this time there are tradeoffs to be had in the shape of less RAM, and smaller storage - all reflected in the price however.

This is a solid offering from ASUS. Yeah, we'd probably want that processor to be slightly better but that great 1660Ti card really ties the laptop together. However, if you can go another 50 bucks more.....
