Score! I found 5 Prime Day gaming laptop deals already up to $400 off
You don't have to wait for Prime Day to save big on gaming laptops
Gaming laptops can get pretty pricey, which is why I always recommend waiting for sales events like Amazon Prime Day to get a good machine at a nice discount. October Prime Day kicks off tomorrow and will last until this Wednesday. Yet you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to get your hands on some fantastic deals.
Right now, the retail giant is offering some of the best gaming laptops for hundreds of dollars off, like the MSI Cyborg and Asus ROG Strix G16, which are both heavily reduced. Not only are these portable gaming rigs affordable, but they’re also powerful enough to play the best PC games at high resolutions and smooth frame rates.
We’ll no doubt see a greater abundance of gaming laptop deals when Prime Day officially kicks off. But I say don’t wait until then, as these are awesome discounts currently available. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop or are getting one for the first time, these are the Prime Day deals you need to check out.
