In our opinion, the best gaming laptop for buyers on a $1,000 budget is Acer's Predator Helios 300. We still think that, and it's even better buy at moment because you can snag a version with upgraded specs for just $999 right now.
The model that's on sale wields a Core i7-8750H processor instead of a Core i7-7700HQ, 16GB of DDR4 memory, GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) GPU, and a 256GB NVMe solid state drive. It also sports the same 1920x1080 resolution as the model we identified as best budget option, but this version ups the ante with a 144Hz refresh rate instead of 60Hz.
