Best gaming laptops under $1,000 in 2023: Best overall, best battery life, and more

With its spacious 1TB of SSD storage, powerful performance, and impressive battery life, the Acer Nitro 5 has a lot to offer. Typically, gaming laptops have lackluster battery life due to the power-sucking hardware inside. Not the Nitro 5. This machine boasts a colossal 96 watt-hour battery, which lasted eight hours on a single charge. That’s a spectacular number, especially for a gaming laptop with a larger screen. The average battery life for most gaming machines is anywhere from three to six hours. It also runs surprisingly quiet.

The Nitro 5 is no slouch in the performance department, either. It comes armed with an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage. It did well in 3DMark’s Time Spy and Port Royal benchmarks, finishing first among the other RTX 3060 machines we compared it against. The laptop also produced a respectable 107 FPS when running the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark. Although the plastic chassis is on the chunkier side and the keyboard leaves a little to be desired, if it’s a reliable performer at a reasonable price point you’re after, the Nitro 5 is definitely worth considering.
