Nvidia RTX 50-series laptops have started rolling out and promise to deliver better performance than previous models. While that might be true, older RTX 40-series laptops can still offer high-end gaming experiences. With the Amazon Big Spring Sale underway, now is the best time to purchase an RTX 40-powered gaming laptop.

I review gaming laptops for a living, and I always look forward to sales events because I can recommend machines to folks and save them money. I’ve searched the internet and found several gaming laptops that will give you the most bang for your buck. If you’re new to PC gaming or want an upgrade, I can help you out.

Here are 7 Nvidia RTX 40 gaming laptop deals I recommend.
