The first laptops with Nvidia's new RTX 50-series GPUs are expected to arrive in March. The new cards will bring a host of new features using Nvidia's Blackwell architecture. As a result, retailers are slashing the price of laptops with Nvidia's RTX 40-series GPU.

If you're a casual gamer or looking for a laptop with respectable gaming performance, now is a solid time to shop for gaming laptop deals. I've spotted noteworthy sales at Best Buy, Dell, and Amazon, to name a few retailers. For example, Amazon is offering a free copy of Assassin's Creed with select laptop purchases. Below I've picked out the very best deals you can get right now. For more deals, check out our roundup of the best PC gaming deals.
