There has been a huge boom in gaming laptops in the past few years; once they were bulky, expensive, and not that good, we now have thin and lightweight configurations with lots of power. We’re also seeing more and more powerful GPUs in gaming laptops, although it’s important to note that even if laptop GPUs have the same name as desktop GPUs, they often aren’t the same. Even so, having a laptop RTX 4070 or 4080, which are one step down from their desktop counterparts, are leaps and bounds better than a few years ago when we’d have to rely on the processor to do all the graphical lifting.

There’s a lot of variety to pick from, and the market is saturated with deals, so to help you along, we’ve collected some of our favorite gaming laptop deals below. We’ve broken it up between Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs so you can pick the processor family you feel most comfortable with.

Best Gaming Laptop Deals (Intel)

The great thing about Intel-based gaming laptops is that there are a lot more configurations available for you to pick from. That means more deals and a better way to hone in on a specific type of CPU/GPU combo that you’re looking for. You also won’t struggle to find laptops with the top-end GPUs like the RTX 4090.

Best Gaming Laptop Deals (AMD)

Where AMD lacks in terms of variety, it more than makes up for both efficiency and cost. AMD CPUs tend to be less expensive for the same amount of power, although, because they aren’t as popular, you tend to find fewer deals and not as many configurations as Intel. Luckily, that’s started to change in the past few years, and we’re even finally seeing AMD-based gaming laptops with the most powerful GPUs, like the RTX 4090 or the RX 7900M.

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 with RTX 3050 Ti — Asus TUF Gaming A16 with RX 7700S — Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 with RTX 4050 — Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 with RTX 4050 — ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 4060 — Alienware m18 with RX 7900M —

While many laptops tend to be focused on consumers, there's a whole market for more professional-oriented laptops, and in Dell's case, those are their Precision workstations. These laptops often have a lot of high-end specs, making them perfect for everything from video editing to CAD and programming. Of course, all that power comes at a price, and while this Precision 7680 Workstation is incredibly powerful, it does usually go for an eye-watering $7,225. Luckily, there is a deal on Dell that discounts it significantly, all the way down to $4,699, so if you've ever wanted to own a Dell Workstation, now is your chance.

Why you should buy the Dell Precision 7680 Workstation
Starting off with the processor, this configuration of the Precision 7680 has an incredible Intel Core i9-13950HX vPro, possibly one of the most powerful processors on the market right now, and is built to handle things like complex simulations, including things like modeling aerodynamics and things of that nature. That also makes it perfect for other tasks, including things like music production, video editing, and even transcoding content when it comes to streaming. It also has 64GB of 5200MT/s CAMM memory, which is essentially professional-grade RAM that is perfect for more RAM-intensive tasks such as programming or CAD work.

The 27-inch Dell S2721QS 4K monitor on a table.

While there tends to be a lot of focus on gaming monitors these days, there are a lot of folks who are looking for a monitor that is oriented towards doing graphical work, something which most game monitors don't necessarily have coverage for. To that end, the Dell 32 SE3223Q is a great example of that since it's a 4K monitor that has quite a lot of solid features and is well worth grabbing if you want something a bit more high-end for graphical work. Luckily, while it usually goes for $380, Dell has knocked $80 off the price, bringing it down to a solid $300, making it a great pick for what you're getting.

Why you should buy the Dell 32 SE3223Q Monitor
At 32 inches, the Dell SE3223Q is quite big and at the edge of what most folks would consider a good size for a desktop monitor that you're going to have your face up to constantly. Luckily, it's a high-quality monitor and can cover about 99% of the sRGB gamut, which is huge and makes this an excellent monitor for doing graphical work since you'll get better color reproduction. It is also TÜV-certified, meaning that it's flicker-free and generally easier on the eyes than lower-end monitors that might have a strobing effect, and it even reduces the blue-light effect, so it's made to look after your eyes.
