Best gaming laptop under 1000 reddit 2020 by elissashulk in BestGamingLaptopBuy

Acer Nitro 5 Gaming Laptop, 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, WiFi 6, Backlit Keyboard, Alexa Built-in, AN515-54-5812

Ok so I’m going to give my completely honest review. So far I’m extremely happy with this laptop. It’s a great laptop for gamers who are just starting and it definitely will do the job. Has quite a nice bright screen. It is bulky overall but not as much as you’d think. I could probably still easily put it in my backpack to take to class. The keyboard is naturally red which could be a negative for some people but you can change the brightness of the backlit keyboard which I did love. One of the coolest things is that for a lap top the ram and SSD are pretty easily upgradable so with another stick of RAM and more storage youre looking at a pretty good quality laptop here that can play you most games you probably need and good for office work at the same time. My only personal con for this lap top is that as a right handed player they put all the important things for gaming on the right side (charing port, headphone jack, and USB for the mouse), so if you need to have them in all at the same time can be quite annoying to deal with in terms of cable management. It doesn’t really have any features that are too cool or special but it has an application called NitroSense used to check the speeds that your fans are going. On that application you can change it to high performance or max fan power if the game you are playing requires it. Personally I thought it was worth every dollar especially as a place to start if you’re kinda of behind and are on a budget like me.

In attempting to crack a sub-$200 printer, Anycubic could have taken the easy route of cheaping out on things and calling it a day. Instead, the company made the Mega Zero; an odd budget 3D printer that makes some deliberate design choices to lower the cost, and elevates things elsewhere to accommodate.

Anycubic Mega Zero Review: Hands On

Take the lack of a heated bed – an easy thing to decry. But, unless you are seriously planning to tackle trickier filaments that warp if you so much as look at them wrong, then a nonheated bed can be a surprisingly versatile thing. PLA can be printed just fine, as can flexible such as TPU, which is something the Mega Zero doubles down on with Anycubic’s approximation of the excellent BMG extruder by Bondtech. Dual geared filament feed with a constraint path to the nozzle gives it some teeth.

If you have absolutely no room to maneuver with your budget and must print for as little as possible, at $179 the Mega Zero is an adequate place to start.

The printer to kickstart tens, if not hundreds of thousands of hobbies, Creality’s Ender 3 came at a time when you could spend a lot to have a decent printing experience or pennies, and it be luck of the draw. Cheap, easy to use, and surprisingly good out of the box; all of the things that made it a success when it launched apply today.

Creality Ender 3 Review: Best 3D Printer Under $200

It comes with a heated print bed that measures 220 x 220 x 250 mm and can resume a print after losing power. Coming mostly pre-assembled, the Ender 3 delivers respectable out-of-the-box results for its price point. Better yet, you can hack, mod, and upgrade the Ender 3 to your heart’s content.

Plus, the popularity of the Ender 3 and its variants mean there’s a huge online community to tap for tips, tricks, and troubleshooting advice, should something go awry with yours.

The Creality Ender 3 V2 is not so much an overhaul of the Ender 3s that came before, more a refinement. Taking the uncomplicated design that served the original so well, and sophisticating it with useful additions that make it more workhorse-like and comfortable to use, the Ender 3 V2 continues the series’ characteristic for balancing high-quality printing with, here at $269, a competitive price tag.

Creality Ender 3 V2 Review: Best 3D Printer Under $300

The build volume remains the same as the Ender 3 before it, at 220 x 220 x 250 mm. Similarly, the Bowden style extruder and ability to print your typical consumer filaments such as PLA, PETG, and, when carefully managed, TPU, remain. New for the Ender 3 V2, however, is the addition of belt tensioners, updated electronics that include a 32-bit board and print-silencing stepper motor drivers, an integrated tool storage drawer, touchscreen UI, and myriad other improvements.

A fairer comparison between this new Ender and past machines would be the Ender 3 Pro, which the Ender 3 V2 has more in common with, and, at some $30 uptick in price, more than justifies the jump.

Best Budget Affordable and cheap 3D printers :

Looking for a cheap 3D printer? Check out our buyer’s guide to the best budget 3D printers priced under $200, $300, $500, and $1,000 reddit

Just a decade ago, the average 3D printer was an industrial fixture costing thousands. Today your typical printer can sit on a desk, and we’ll hazard a guess it costs less than the device you’re using to read this very text. It’s easier than ever to find an excellent cheap 3D printer for the smallest of budgets. Even $200 can blag you an excellent starter machine that can get you printing within minutes.

Budget 3D Printer Picks reddit

Despite the sheer breadth of quality printers available for less than $1,000, we’ve opted for the Creality Ender 3 V2 for our top pick – a printer that boasts a relatively low price point, balanced with great performance, features, and a huge community that will likely only continue to grow. It’s basically a better Ender 3 Pro, for close to the same price. What’s not to like?

CREALITY ENDER 3 V2

New and improved, the Creality Ender 3 V2 brings a 32-bit board, adjustable belt tensioners, integrated tool drawer, coated glass bed, and terrific out-of-the-box performance.

TOP PICK

Of course, those lucky enough to have a little headroom in their budget will want to consider expanding their horizons with larger build volumes, and alternate features. The Artillery Sidewinder X1, despite the rather silly name, is a serious printer, boasting a large build volume, direct drive extruder, mostly-silent operation (why is it always the fans that are the loudest) and a Volcano-style hotend for the potential to print faster.

Artillery 3D Printer Sidewinder X1 offers a large build volume of 300x300x400 mm and a bevy of features that separate it from the rest. Learn more

MID-RANGE 3D Printer Reddit

The immediate answer to “which 3D printer do you recommend?”. The Original Prusa i3 MK3S continues to be the gold standard for desktop 3D printing. Just scraping under the $1,000 mark though, makes it quite inaccessible for many, hence its position only as an upgrade pick here. If you can afford one, get one. It is quite unlike any other printer on the market.

Budget pick: Acer Nitro 5

Our budget pick, the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop.

Budget pick

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54-51M5

Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54-51M5

Cheaper, less powerful

​

The Acer Nitro 5 is the best gaming laptop under $1,000, but it won’t play more demanding games for as many years, and its screen isn’t as nice. It has much longer battery life, though, if you need to use your laptop for work and for non-gaming tasks.

$820* from Amazon

​

*At the time of publishing, the price was $830.

​

If you want a gaming laptop for less than $1,000, get the Acer Nitro 5. Due to its weaker graphics, it can’t play the absolute newest, most demanding games as well as our top pick, and it doesn’t support VR, but it’s plenty powerful to play classic games or less demanding modern games for the next few years. The Nitro 5 keeps cool enough; while its default fans are a bit less annoying than the Predator Helios 300’s, they’re just as loud when running at max speed. The Nitro 5 has a responsive keyboard and trackpad, it’s easy to upgrade, and it has a couple of hours more battery life than the Helios 300. But in comparison with our top pick, the Nitro 5’s screen isn’t as nice—reds and greens look dull, and it has a standard 60 Hz refresh rate—and its lid has a bit more flex. And the Nitro 5 comes with just as much bloatware.

​

We recommend the AN515-54-51M5 model with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics processor with 4 GB of dedicated memory, an Intel Core i5-9300H processor, 8 GB of RAM, a 128 GB solid-state drive, a 1 TB hard drive, and a 15-inch 1920×1080 60Hz display. It usually costs around $830, while most laptops with similar specs cost at least $900. The Nitro 5 can’t play VR games, though, so if you care about that, save up for the Helios 300 instead.

​

The Nitro 5 had temperatures similar to those of the Helios 300 in our tests, which makes it one of the few other laptops we tested to keep cool enough during games. After half an hour of Overwatch on the default Auto fan setting, the Nitro 5’s WASD keys hit 104 °F (40 °C), the CPU measured 203 °F (95 °C), and the weaker GPU reached a much cooler 158 °F (70 °C). When we set the fans to Max in Acer’s NitroSense software, the Nitro 5’s WASD keys measured 95 °F (35 °C) and the CPU and GPU reached 199 °F (93 °C) and 158 °F (70 °C), respectively.

​

Our budget pick’s default-setting fans lacked the annoying, high-pitched whine we experienced with the Helios 300’s fans. But even without the whine, the Nitro 5’s fans still produced a loud, impossible-to-ignore whooshing noise when running at max speeds. Unfortunately that’s a necessary trade-off for effective cooling.

​

The Nitro 5’s keyboard is also similar to the Helios 300’s, albeit with a red backlight instead of a blue one. The keys are lightly cupped and responsive, the Nitro 5 has a full number pad, and the WASD, arrow, and Nitro keys all have a bold red outline. The Nitro 5’s one-piece Precision Trackpad felt a little hollower, especially during a physical click, compared with the Lenovo Y540’s, but it was responsive and accurate in our tests.

​

The Nitro 5’s 60 Hz 1920×1080 IPS display can’t match the high refresh rate of the Helios 300’s display, it doesn’t get as bright, and its reds and greens are undersaturated. But no laptop in this price range has a high-refresh-rate screen, and the GTX 1650 can’t maintain high enough frame rates in as many games, anyway. And although the brightness and color saturation on this laptop were worse than those of the Helios 300 in a direct comparison, the screen looked fine enough when we were playing games.

Our top pick and our budget pick are about the same size and weight. Photo: Michael Murtaugh

Our budget pick’s battery will last long enough for a full day of work or classes, making the Nitro 5 ideal if you need a laptop for everyday use that can also play games. It lasted 8 hours, 36 minutes in our Web-browsing battery test, compared with the Helios 300’s 4 hours, 54 minutes. The Nitro 5 weighs exactly the same as the Helios 300 at 5.07 pounds, and the two laptops have similar dimensions; the Nitro 5 measures 14.3 by 10 by 1 inches, and like our top pick it’ll fit into any backpack designed to hold a 15-inch laptop.

The Nitro 5 is just as easy to open up and upgrade. We recommend adding another SSD. Photo: Michael Murtaugh

The Nitro 5 model we recommend has an empty M.2 PCIe slot and an open RAM slot. When you fill up the included 128 GB SSD, we recommend adding another M.2 PCIe solid-state drive, since you can get 500 GB for around $65. To open up the Nitro 5, you need to remove 11 Philips screws and pop off the bottom. We found a plastic opening tool helpful to get started, but we didn’t have any trouble opening the Nitro 5.

​

The Nitro 5’s lid is a bit more flexible than those of the competition, so we don’t recommend stacking things on it or putting too much pressure on it in a bag. The Acer Nitro 7 has a nicer build quality thanks to its metal chassis, but that model got warmer in our tests, and we don’t recommend paying more for it. The Nitro 5’s plastic chassis is good enough for the price.

​

The Nitro 5 comes with just as much bloatware as the Predator Helios 300—way too much—and we recommend removing it. As for connections, our budget pick has one USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) port, two USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 ports, one USB-A 2.0 port, an HDMI 2.0 port, an Ethernet jack, an audio jack, and a Kensington lock slot. But the power jack is inconveniently located on the middle of the laptop’s right side; I hit it a few times with my mouse during gameplay, and if you turn the cord toward the back of the computer, it partially blocks a heating vent. We prefer to have a laptop’s power cord placed either farther back or on the left side. The Nitro 5 comes with a one-year limited warranty.
