Historically, the best gaming laptops haven’t exactly been cheap. That’s why I’d normally suggest you wait until megaton sales events such as tomorrow’s Amazon Prime Day before you take the plunge on your next portable PC.
The latest Prime Day lasts until this Wednesday, yet you can already find a bunch of major U.S. retailers offering great discounts on gaming laptops, be it Amazon, Best Buy or Walmart. It means you don’t have to count the seconds until tomorrow arrives, as you can already take advantage of a fantastic deal on a new laptop today.
If you want to play the best Steam games at higher frame rates than either the PS5 or Xbox Series X can provide, you should definitely check out the Alienware x16 R2. My favorite deal, though? That has to be for the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17. Not only does it have Nvidia’s mighty RTX 4090 GPU, it’s also a huge $700 off at time of writing.

Prime Day gaming laptop deals
There’s no question we’ll see a bunch more enticing gaming laptop deals over the next couple of Days when Prime Day is underway.
But if you want my two cents, I say why wait until then. If any of the six gaming laptops I’ve picked out above have grabbed your fancy, I say go for it.
