Best Black Friday gaming laptop deals you can get right now

ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (RTX 4060): was $1,599 now $1,199 @ Best Buy
We absolutely adored this lap-friendly monster of a machine in our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review. Of course that model packed in a RTX 4090 GPU, whereas this deal comes with a far less powerful RTX 4060. That's still a respectable laptop GPU, though, and when you combine that with a 14-inch (2560 x 1440) display that can hit 500 nits brightness and boasts a 165Hz refresh rate, there's a lot to like about this gaming laptop. It also packs in an AMD Ryzen 9 7000 Series GPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. Check out our full Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (RTX 4060): was $1,579 now $1,049 @ Best Buy
Another RTX 40-series GPU with an admirable specs sheet. The whopping $530 discount is obviously the headline news here, but under the hood, there's a lot of good stuff going on with the Helios' innards. This 16-inch laptop boasts a 16:10 (2560 x 1600) IPS panel that supports refresh rates up to 165Hz. Its 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700HX and RTX 4060 CPU/GPU combo is very much up to the task of handling modern PC games at respectable frame rates, and this portable PC is further bolstered with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. 

ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (Radeon RX 7600S): was $1,099 now $749 @ Best Buy

It's not the most powerful model on this list but comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS CPU, Radeon RX 7600S V8G GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's also got a 16-inch display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Don't expect to play the latest games at high settings, but it's a smart pick for more moderate gaming needs. 

Acer Nitro 17 (RTX 4050): was $1,199 now $969 @ Amazon
If you prefer a large and in-charge laptop, this 17-inch RTX 4050-powered laptop looks enticing.

A powerful portable PC that squeezes in some impressive components that should easily handle many modern games at this laptop's native 2560 x 1600 resolution at speedy frame rates. You probably won't come close to hitting that remarkable 240Hz refresh rate in titles, yet with a 13th Gen Core i9-13900HK processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU and 32GB of RAM, this baby should monster all but the very most demanding games at 1080p.

A decent deal that may not boast the most cutting edge graphics tech, but the RTX 3050 still has enough grunt to handle most modern games around a solid 30 fps, if not a good deal higher at this laptop's native 1080p resolution.
