BEST BUDGET GAMING LAPTOP

GIGABYTE SABREPRO 15 $2,250 | gigabyte.com.au

‘Budget gaming laptop’ is something of a non-starter in many senses, because it’s almost impossible to find a decent gaming GPU in a system under $2,500. This Gigabyte model manages that, with a GeForce GTX 1060 that can drive its games along on its 1080p display at a reasonable clip. And this model’s well-balanced elsewhere too, with a 256GB SSD and 1TB hard drive for storage, Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM. It’s not the fastest gaming system, but you’ll be hard pressed to find better value this close to $2,000.
