Best early Prime Day gaming laptop deals
HP Victus 15: was $979 now $599 @ Walmart
If you need a budget gaming laptop this Prime Day week, you could do a lot worse than this model from HP. For less than $600 you get an RTX 4050 GPU, AMD Ryzen 5-8545HS CPU, 8GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. Though its 1080p screen (1920 x 1080) is unlikely to floor you seeing as its an IPS panel rather than OLED, it does have a fast 144Hz refresh rate.
Alienware m16 R2: was $1,699 @ now $1,299 @ Dell
With a subdued design, a comfortable keyboard and strong gaming performance, the 16-inch Alienware m16 is easy to recommend now it just dropped by $400. $1,299 is a respectable price point for a gaming laptop that houses an RTX 4060 GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor.
Alienware m16 R2: was $1,999 now $1,399 @ Dell
One of the biggest, baddest 16-inch laptops to cross our desk in quite some time. With a QHD+ screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600, the panel's refresh rate can hit a remarkable 240Hz, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts. A powerful RTX 4070 GPU and an Intel Core Ultra 9 should ensure top-tier gaming results.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G16: was $1,999 now $1,599 @ Best Buy
Another terrific Prime Day deal. The brilliant Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is currently $400 off and houses an RTX 4070 GPU, Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD. Its 240Hz, 2.5K OLED screen (2560 x 1600) is also a stunner.
Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16: was $3,999 now $3,141 @ Amazon
One of the coolest looking laptops around. And not just because it appears to have dropped out of the USCSS Nostromo. A beast that actually shows some elegance, its mighty RTX 4080 GPU, powerful Ryzen 9 CPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM all impress. But it's that 14.1 integrated ROG Screenpad Plus (that also helps with air intake), which makes the Duo feel somewhat one of a kind.
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16: was $1,939 now $1,499 @ Walmart
Another big saving on a laptop that brings some serious components to the table. Its 16-inch IPS screen (2560 x 1600) has a refresh rate of 165HZ, and you should be able to hit well over 100 fps in 2D and less graphically demanding games thanks to that RTX 4070, AMD Ryzen 7-7745HX and a 32GB of RAM, which will come in handy if you edit a lot of videos.
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16: was $1,529 now $1,223 @ Best Buy
This laptop comes in fetching Storm Grey and also has an attractive RGB-lit keyboard. In terms of its innards, this is a solid mid-range gaming laptop that features an RTX 4060 GPU, Ryzen 7-7840HS CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Its 16-inch, 165Hz screen can reach a max peak brightness of 350 nits with a pixel count of 2560 x 1600.
HP Omen Transcend 14: was $1,559 now $1,199 @ HP
While it's good to see the Omen Transcend embrace Copilot features, it's equally pleasing to see a gaming laptop put on quite the lightshow. The RGB glow that surrounds the Omen's terrifically snappy keyboard gets downright addictive. The RTX 4050 means you'll have to make compromises in certain games, but there's no denying how stunning the Omen's 14-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) OLED screen is.
MSI Vector GP68HX 16: was $2,099 now $1,799 @ Best Buy
A performant gaming laptop that brings the power thanks to its RTX 4080 GPU. Nvidia’s graphics card is ably supported by an Intel Core i9 13950HX, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Its FHD 16-inch screen can reach a max refresh rate of 144Hz.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2024): was $1,399 now $1,289 @ Amazon
Another Asus gaming laptop that packs in a whole lot of power. Its native 1080p screen (1920 x 1080) is paired with an impressive 165Hz rate. You also get a Core i7-13650HX CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4060 GPU. It's an ideal laptop for hardcore first-person shooter fans. We also appreciate that it supports Wi-Fi 6E.
Legion Slim 5: was $1,749 now $1,223 @ Lenovo
This 16-inch rig is perfect for gaming or for multitasking. It features a 16-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS 165Hz display, AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and an RTX 4070 GPU.
