Gaming on a laptop is a great experience, especially if you take full advantage of the portability and take the PC to LAN events. That said, choosing a laptop to game on is actually rather simple — you just need a dedicated GPU. Thing is, if you want to save money and spend less than $1,000, this is where things can get a little tricky. There are plenty of options out there, but it's all about matching the CPU, GPU and other components to a great price.
