No such thing. Gaming laptops carry a price premium.

not even like $999 with a SSD?

I'm sure you could find one but anything with the words 'gaming' in the title or description usually means you can hike the price up.

Anything is a gaming laptop if you're brave enough!
okay, I guess that doesn't exactly work the same as dildo's.. bummer...

 

 

I don't think you'll find anything for "cheap" per say. Gaming laptops commonly carry a premium, as @ChasingPluto said.

No it totally does. All it takes heart, guts, courage, and a little humility

The cheapest "gaming" laptop you could probably find is one of those GT 940m laptops that don't advertise themselves as gaming laptops (~$800). A 940 isn't really ideal for gaming though. If you wanted to play AAA titles you would be looking at a 970m at least, and those are in the $1600-1800 range.

Totally agreed, I was just forcing a joke with my comment. Buddy of mine games on a Celeron, no lie. But he's okay with super stuttery framerates. It also depends on what you classify as "gaming." My grandmother considers playing Solitaire as gaming, so do may other elderly, whereas we commonly consider gaming to be anything that requires slightly more than standard retail hardware to play decently.
