How much do you really need to spend on a gaming laptop? If you’re looking to spend under $4000, here are three of the best gaming laptops in that price range. All of these laptops are loaded with high-end components and offer the performance to justify their hefty price tags. They’re also built like tanks, designed to withstand the rigors of travel and long gaming sessions alike. If you’re looking for your first true gaming laptop or want something to carry from one LAN party to another, any of these three should serve you well.
Our picks
ASUS ROG GL503, ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704GM, ASUS ROG GL753. The first thing you should look for in a gaming laptop is power. Both of these gaming rigs have overclocked Intel Core i7-7700HQ quad-core processors with large amounts of RAM (16GB and 64GB respectively). They also sport powerful NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics cards with 6GB of VRAM each and even faster DDR4 RAM (2400MHz). The display size on both of these machines is 15.6, which looks perfect for gaming but might be a bit small if you’re doing serious work on them.
ASUS ROG G752VS OC Edition
With a high-end desktop chip and a 1080p IPS display, it’s hard to go wrong with ASUS’ ROG G752VS OC Edition. For around $4000, you get a device that should deliver solid frame rates on just about any game you can throw at it (with exceptions like VR). The big downside? Battery life isn’t great. If your gaming plans include an extra power source, consider its smaller cousin — It has a more conventional 60Wh battery and slightly fewer graphics power but delivers solid frame rates at 1080p for only ~$3000.

MSI GT62VR Dominator Pro 4K-235
If you're looking for an affordable gaming laptop that can still deliver great performance, look no further than MSI's GT62VR Dominator Pro 4K-235. With a 15.6-inch screen and a VR-ready GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, it offers some of the best bangs for your buck as far as full HD laptops go. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. But even better, its price tag won't break your budget at just under $2000. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
Alienware 17 R4
This laptop from Dell's gaming brand is powered by a seventh-generation Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. It features two 128GB M.2 solid-state drives (SSDs) in RAID 0 for storing games, as well as an additional 1TB 7200rpm hard drive for saving files.

Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 (4K)
At $3,199, it’s one of a few laptops that can match its performance for under four grand. (Note: Asus rog Strix scar ii gl704gm and Asus rog gl753 are also equally impressive but over your budget) It comes in several configurations but when maxed out with its i7-8750H processor and Nvidia 1060 graphics card with 6GB of video memory, you can expect to play pretty much any game on ultra settings at 1080p resolution. Its display will run at a resolution of 3840×2160; it’s crisp and very colorful. It also comes with 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD which should be enough storage space for your needs as an average gamer. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
Razer Blade Pro (4K)
The Razer Blade Pro (starting at $3,499) is an insanely thin and light 17-inch gaming laptop that features a gorgeous 4K display, an overclockable Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1080 GPU. At 5.47 pounds and just 0.88 inches thick with its power brick, it’s truly portable—it’s one of the best gaming laptops you can buy! YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
Asus rog fx503
If you want a budget gaming laptop, don’t expect to find high-performance graphics or spectacular hardware for less than about $500. At that price, you’ll have to make a few sacrifices but, if you know what to look for, it can be done. One good example is ASUS ROG FX503. For around $450 (at time of writing), it offers decent power with Intel’s 6th Generation i5 processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB graphics card. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
Asus rog Strix scar ii gl704gmgm
A gaming laptop should be a reasonably portable but powerful device capable of running high-quality game software smoothly and at high resolutions. The ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL704GM, then, is a perfect example of what constitutes a quality gaming laptop today. It comes equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPUs, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM to allow for seamless gaming without any noticeable pauses or glitches. It’s also got a full HD screen with anti-glare capabilities that allow you to play under all lighting conditions. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
Asus rog gl753
The Asus ROG GL753 may not be much of a looker, but it’s by far one of the most powerful gaming laptops you can get for under $4k. The 7th generation i7 processor is backed up by NVIDIA GTX 1060 graphics card, which can handle pretty much any game you throw at it. You also get 8GB RAM and a 1TB HDD, along with an SSD for speedier performance. All of that should mean long hours in front of your monitor without fatigue setting in (or without your wallet being drained). This model has received positive reviews from consumers and critics alike. It retails at around $1800 so if you shop around, you might find something better suited to your needs/wants. However, if power is what you’re after then there are few other options available at such a price point. Other than its great hardware specs, we really like how easily upgradeable this laptop is; there are several service doors on the bottom of it where users can easily upgrade their storage or even swap out components altogether! There aren't many laptops on our list that allow users to do that. Also, its LED-backlit keyboard comes with anti-ghosting technology as well as N-key rollover technology which means you won't have issues pressing multiple keys simultaneously during gameplay! Lastly, we love how spacious its 15.6 display screen is; especially considering how thin and light it actually is! YOU CAN BUY IT NOW
