In the past, buying low price gaming laptops used to be a difficult task since the price of these units was really high and not many people could afford to get one. Fortunately, the price of laptops drops in time and one unit that used to be worth $2000 two years ago, can now be bought for $1000. Finding low price gaming laptops is easy once you understand that the internet is one of the most powerful resources that you have and it is a tool that gathers a lot of important online stores where you can get the best prices for the models you find appealing.

It is somehow obvious that gaming laptops on a budget are not going to bring the newest graphics card or the biggest amount of storage space. Since there are gaming laptops priced over the $3000 limit, it is safe to assume that any gaming laptop which is cheaper than $1500 can be considered “low priced”. Even so, it is up to you to determine the superior price limit and we must ask you: how much are you willing to pay to satisfy your gaming hunger?

We have found the Dell Studio XPS 16 to be a good choice for a decent gaming laptop which has a starting price of $1150.  The unit reviewed came with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 processor combined with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. The graphics card that can be found on this system is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 and the total storage capacity of the hard drive is 320 GB. the Dell XPS 16 comes with the preloaded version of the Windows Vista Premium operating system.



Measuring 15 x 10.6 x 1.34 inches in dimensions and having a total weight of 6.5 pounds, this cannot be considered a portable laptop, as it is more of a desktop replacement. If you are looking to buy a portable gaming laptop, you definitely must take into consideration the new Alienware m11x.

The 16 inch display of this laptop is a beauty for all activities related to the multimedia functions of a notebook. You can watch HD movies and also enjoy playing games with a high level of details thanks to the 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution which used to be common for 17.3 inch displays and bigger. There is also a 1366 x 768 pixels display available and you will save $250 out of the final price of the unit but we find it unnecessary to sacrifice the good images of the higher resolution just to save some extra cash.



The selection of ports and connections is a very important chapter for a gaming laptop because you should b able to connect a lot of external devices. The unit of the Dell XPS 16 comes with 2 USB ports, one VGA out, one Display Port, the HDMI port, an SD card reader, a mini FireWire port, an Express Card slot, the Ethernet port and the regular headphones out and microphone in jacks.
