id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Gaming laptops running Nvidia's new RTX 2060, 2070 and 2080 graphics cards are now readily available. But, unless you're prepared to spend at least $1,500, you've got a bit of a wait ahead of you before prices drop below $1,000.

The good news is the prices on older laptops with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 10-series GPUs started dropping long ago and you can get a well-configured 15.6-inch laptop for $1,000. And their graphics hardware isn't their only good quality, either.

Prices for models with an entry-level GTX 1050 card start around $600, which gives you enough graphics performance to play the newest demanding games at low-to-medium settings. Spending $1,000 or a little more will get you a laptop with an upper-midrange Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060. Plus, with the 6GB version of the card, you can experience a little of the ray-tracing effects available with RTX cards. In between those are the GTX 1650 or 1050 Ti GPUs that can be found
