You might as well call it Black Friday week because there are plenty of excellent Black Friday gaming laptop deals circulating the web. I’m beavering away updating this page with the very best prices on some of the very best gaming laptops money can buy.
We spend our year pushing gaming laptops to the limit in testing, which means we’ve got a good bead on what’s actually a decent price for a given machine, and are able to spot the trends as they emerge. Some laptop deals appear better than they really are but we’re using our many years’ of experience to help you avoid that nonsense.
The most important spec for a gaming laptop is the choice of GPU, with CPU a secondary concern. You’ll find mostly RTX 40-series laptops available today, most commonly the RTX 4060 or RTX 4070. There are higher-end models available in the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090, though we don’t often recommend Nvidia’s top mobile chip as it’s usually not great value for money.
It’s also worth keeping an eye on the memory and storage included with a gaming laptop. Generally, we prefer laptops to come with at least 16 GB of dual-channel memory and a 1 TB SSD, but sometimes a really good deal on something with less cannot be ignored.
Five things I want you to think about before you buy your first gaming laptop
What does ‘price watch’ mean?
We’ve added a new “price watch” qualifier to all our individual deals, making it easy to see whether a price has gone up 🔼 or down 🔽 since we last checked it out. It’s important to note that any deal in this guide (even if it’s slightly risen in price) is still one of our top picks, as we only show you deals that are actually worth buying.

Best laptop GPU
1. Nvidia RTX 4060 laptops
The RTX 4060 delivers genuinely impressive 1080p gaming performance to the sub-$1,000 laptop market and frame rates that would have been thoroughly mid-range one generation ago. You’re also getting DLSS 3 and Frame Gen in the bargain.
3. Nvidia RTX 4070 laptops
With the same level of gaming performance as the mobile RTX 3080 of the previous generation, the RTX 4070 really delivers a frame rate experience that belies its current pricing in the gaming laptop world. These PCs are seriously affordable now.
3. Nvidia RTX 4080 laptops
With a great balance between power efficiency and outright gaming performance, the RTX 4080 is the best overall GPU to go into your laptop. It’s up at the top end of gaming laptoppery, but it delivers the best all-round experience.
