Just heads up: this deal could expire a lot faster than other deals on here. This is a Dell Doorbuster deal and it is already mostly claimed. The savings are huge but your time is limited, so I’ll keep this short.

The specs include a 12th-gen Intel Core i7-12700H processor with up to 4.70GHz speeds, a 1TB SSD with NVMe for super fast read and write speeds along with high-capacity storage, 16GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card for gaming. The beautiful 15.6-inch screen includes 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution along with an amazing 240Hz refresh rate that’s awesome for gamers. It has a 2ms response time, Advanced Optimus tech, and Nvidia G-Sync adaptive sync that helps reduce screen tearing while playing. 

Some of the other features include Killer Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Thunderbolt 4 USB-C plus multiple other USB ports, a 720p webcam, and more.

Here’s another great deal from antonline. We actually posted this deal earlier, but it was at a bigger price and eventually sold out. Now it’s back and better than ever with a huge discount you won’t find anywhere else. 

Start with the display because it’s really the killer feature here. You get a 16-inch screen with 4K pixel resolution, AMOLED technology, and VESA DisplayHDR 500 standard for brightness and HDR support. It does only have a 60Hz refresh rate, which is something to keep in mind as a gamer. However, it’ll look so good you might not even notice.

The other specs include an Intel Core i7-12700H processor, 16GB RAM, and a large capacity 2TB solid state drive. The GPU is a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Other features include two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports and USB-A 3.1 ports, a built-in webcam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and more.


Acer Predator refurb gaming laptop

(Image credit: Acer)

I’ve mentioned the Acer refurb store on eBay before. It’s one of those open secrets. The sort of place no one remembers, but a great resource for awesome discounts and deals. You can get a huge discount on the Acer Predator right now, and this laptop is certified to work and look like new officially by Acer. So not only are you getting a refurb price, but the deal is actually discounted from THAT price for Black Friday for an all-new low.

The Predator includes a 12th-generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1TB solid state drive. The GPU is a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. You’ll also get a 15.6-inch screen with an IPS panel and 1440p pixel resolution. Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, four USB ports, and more.


Acer Swift X laptop

(Image credit: Amazon)

From a marketing perspective and basically every image of this laptop, this is technically more of a “creator’s laptop” than a gaming laptop. However, it does have an RTX graphics card in there which means it’s perfectly capable of playing your favorite games at nice settings. Of course, if you want to edit some photography or video you can do that, too, and easily render in 4K while you’re at it. 

The Acer Swift X Creator laptop comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 5825U processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid state drive, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card. It has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader, and plenty more. 


ASUS ROG Strix Scar gaming laptop

(Image credit: Amazon)

We’ve actually posted a couple variations of the Scar 15 already, one priced at $1,600 and one at $1,700. This one is right in the middle. They’re all on sale for Black Friday, so it really just depends on what you want and what you can afford.  It’s a fantastic series, especially for gamers, so you’re definitely getting a lot for what you pay for. 

In this case, the laptop includes a 12th-generation Intel Core i9-12900H processor, 16GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB solid state drive with NVMe tech that has great read/write speeds so your games will load with a quickness. It also has a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, which is a very nice GPU for playing at high settings. You even get a 15.6-inch display with an enormous 300Hz refresh rate, which is going to make a big difference in your games.


MSI GV15 gaming laptop

(Image credit: Amazon)

Gaming laptops can be a tricky thing because that discrete graphics card usually means a significant cost upgrade. I’m always looking for the next lowest possible price you can pay and still get a decent laptop with the ability to play games at a reasonable setting. Usually that’s right around $600-700. In this case, though, you can get the MSI GV15 gaming laptop for just $499.99 as part of Amazon’s Black Friday sale. 

The reason this is so inexpensive is because the graphics card is a couple generations behind. It’s a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. There was a point where this card was at the top of its game. While that may not be true anymore, it does mean you’re going to get some fantastic graphics for what you’re paying. Add on the other specs that include an Intel Core i5-11400H processor, 8GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD and you’ve got a decent gaming machine. Plus you can make all your games look good on the 15.6-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate. And it even includes USB-C ports for peripherals. 


Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop

(Image credit: Lenovo)

Use the codes EXTRA5 and HOLIDAYSUMMER after you add this laptop to your cart and during checkout. Both codes apply and will end up taking close to an extra $200 off the already discounted price. That’s some huge savings on a very powerful computer, and those codes will work on a lot of laptops on the Lenovo site so you can try some other configurations if you prefer.

The Legion 5 Pro on sale here includes a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor with up to 4.90GHz speeds, 32GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM, a large capacity 2TB solid state drive with NVMe, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. You get all that plus a 16-inch display with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, a 165Hz refresh rate, and an IPS panel. 


MSI Katana gaming laptop

(Image credit: MSI)

Say it with me for the folks in the back: gaming doesn’t have to be expensive! There are plenty of great options out there for gamers on a budget. Just because the machine comes with a discrete graphics card, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice an arm and a leg to get your (remaining) hand on it. 

The MSI Katana for $599 from Adorama is proof of that. This is such a good price for the specs. The discount brings this down into bang for your buck range for sure. With the Katana GF66 you get a 12th-generation Intel Core i5-12500H processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive. The GPU is an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050, and your games will shine on the 15.6-inch screen with 1080p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. 

In addition to all that, you get three USB ports, a built-in webcam, an HDMI port that supports up to 4K resolutions so you can expand to a larger monitor if you want, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more.


Gigabyte A7 gaming laptop

(Image credit: Newegg)

A great deal from antonline, a respected eBay seller. The Gigabyte A7 K1 comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive. It also has a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, which is great for gaming. One of the highlights of this gaming machine is its 17.3-inch display with an IPS panel, 1080p pixel resolution, and a very nice 144Hz refresh rate. Other features include WI-Fi, Bluetooth, a built-in webcam, plenty of USB ports, and more. 


Dell G15

(Image credit: Dell)

This limited-quantity laptop is on sale with a $350 discount directly from Dell and offers an affordable entry-level machine for portable PC gaming. For a touch under $600, you can exceed the recommended spec requirements for Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. The 15.6″ IPS panel is capped at 1920 x 1080 but can display ultra-smooth framerates up to 240Hz in supported games, and a side-mounted HDMI 2.1 port is available to connect screens offering higher resolutions if you wish.

Enjoy mid-range gaming with this stylish offering from Dell with an aesthetic not too far from its Alienware siblings using the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H CPU, backed up with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 and 8GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 4800MHz. There are 3x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for peripherals like external mice and keyboards, plus 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 offering USB4 DisplayPort mode for even more external screen connectivity. Grab this plucky versatile laptop with a massive before they’re all gone.


MSI GP66 Leopard gaming laptop

(Image credit: Newegg)

This MSI GP66 Leopard just grabbed an additional $100 off since the first time we posted it, for a total saving of $340! And sure, it’s not cheap but the investment may be worth it if you’re looking to go all out on your gaming machine. Plus, you are still saving a huge chunk of change of the laptop’s regular price thanks to Walmart’s Black Friday Deals for Days sale. Heck, even when this laptop has gone on sale in the past it hasn’t dropped this low. 

The MSI GP66 Leopard is a beast of a machine with an 11th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid-state drive, and a powerful Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. It has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, multiple USB ports, and a 15.6-inch display with 1080p pixel resolution. You can expand the RAM and other parts as you want. It even has per-key RGB backlighting on the SteelSeries keyboard. It should crush the vast majority of modern games at 1080p with high or ultra settings, providing smooth and rapid frames in games like Valorant, and Overwatch 2. 

Lenovo gaming pc Black Friday deal

(Image credit: Lenovo)

This is probably the best budget Black Friday, Cyber Monday gaming laptop deal we’ve seen so far. With an NVIDIA RTX 3050 and Ryzen 5 6600H you’re probably not going to be running Cyberpunk 2077 on ultra, but this is a great entry-level laptop for a youngster or someone who is into well-optimized competitive shooters like Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, or Valorant. This rig will provide good frames for games that aren’t full-blown photorealistic, with a 120 Hz display panel for smooth frame rates. 

The main downsides here are the RAM and SSD, which clocks in at 8GB and 256GB apiece. Thankfully, you can easily upgrade the RAM up to 16GB using our Black Friday PC components live blog potentially, and bump up the m.2 SSD drive to 512GB as well if you so desire. To sweeten the deal, this laptop also comes with 3 months of PC Game Pass valued at $30 alongside Windows 11. — Jez Corden

Razer gaming laptop Black Friday Cyber Monday deals

(Image credit: Razer)

This is essentially the same laptop deal I posted earlier, but for whatever reason, Razer’s pink “Quartz” colorway somehow attaches a $200 premium. Still, you are saving $300 off the typical asking price for Black Friday through Cyber Monday, so if you’re absolutely enamored with what’s on offer here, you’re at least getting a bit of cash off the RRP.

This is another Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU deal with an NVIDIA GeForce 3070 Ti. This laptop will demolish the vast majority of games on ultra settings, complete at 1440p at up to 165 FPS owing to its 165 Hz panel. It has upgradeable SODIMM 16 GB DDR5 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and of course, a gorgeous pink design that looks far, far more kawaii than any other gaming laptop on the market. — Jez Corden

Razer PC deals for Black Friday Cyber Monday

(Image credit: Razer )

I’m a Razer fan through and through these days, and this gaming laptop Black Friday deal is a pretty great option for those who want a seriously powerful gaming laptop that is also sleek and lightweight at the same time. 

Few gaming laptop companies are on Razer’s level when it comes to squeezing power into smaller packages, and this laptop is certainly no different. A Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU joins forces with an NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti to drive games to insane frame rates without compromising visual quality. This is also a 1440p QHD panel at 165Hz for superior visual reproduction in an ultra-thin CNC aluminum chassis. And of course, Razer Chroma RGB. 

This is a truly incredible laptop made all the more incredible with this tidy Black Friday deal. This runs through to Cyber Monday, at least while stocks last. And we suspect they won’t last long on this one. — Jez Corden

MSI Black Friday gaming laptop deal

(Image credit: Windows Central)

Here’s another seriously good deal from MSI for Black Friday. This is an AMD-based machine with a Ryzen R5-5600H processor and an RX 5500M GPU, with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and an upgradeable 512GB NVMe SSD storage device. This is an absolute steal at $700 and an ideal entry-level gaming laptop for anyone looking to take a step into the wide world of PC gaming.

This laptop is ideal for running games at 1080p on high settings, although some very intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Red Dead Redemption 2 may push it a bit. This laptop also has reportedly great battery life for a gaming laptop, which is a rarity frankly. My Razer Blade 17 Pro gets 2 hours if I’m lucky these days. The 144Hz panel on this thing will deliver blazing frame rates in competitive shooters, too, with photorealistic games like Death Stranding hitting more around the 60 FPS mark on high settings. This deal is among the better ones we’ve seen so far for Black Friday through Cyber Monday. — Jez Corden

MSI Katana Black Friday Cyber Monday Deal

(Image credit: MSI)

MSI’s Katana GF66 budget gaming laptop is ever further budget with this neat Black Friday, Cyber Monday deal. This RTX 3050 Ti laptop probably won’t be rocking Cyberpunk 2077 on maximum settings with ray-tracing, but it will offer a highly capable experience at 1080p across most modern games, delivering great frame rates in titles like Overwatch, Valorant, and CS:GO. 

This laptop also sports a Core i7 12th gen CPU, alongside 16GB of RAM with a 512 NVMe SSD, both upgradeable. This laptop used to RRP for $1600, so to see it come all the way down to $850 is pretty impressive. — Jez Corden

MSI Pulse GL66 RTX 3060 laptop

(Image credit: Newegg)

This MSI Pulse GL66 variant has a pretty epic deal at Amazon, shedding $400 dollaroos from the regular asking price for Black Friday. This is probably one of the best gaming deals on the market right now as far as laptops are concerned, owing to the sheer power baked into this impressive machine. 16GB DDR4 memory, 512GB NVMe SSD storage, Intel Core i7 12th gen 12700H, RTX 3070 graphics, and a 144Hz FHD panel to bring it all home. Frankly, I might buy this laptop myself as I’m typing this out. 

This is a beastly gaming laptop for a similarly beastly price, and is arguably more balanced than the laptop deal below it. You could also upgrade the 16GB ram with some SODIMM sticks from our best Black Friday PC components live blog too

I’m trying to figure out exactly what the catch is considering my Razer Blade 17 cost far more and is invariably less powerful than this (admittedly it’s a few years old now, though). Regardless, if you were looking for a gaming laptop deal, this is looking hard to beat right now. — Jez Corden


MSI Pulse GL66

(Image credit: MSI)

No stranger to gaming hardware, MSI offers its GL66 gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 among its impressive specs for a massive $300 during the Newegg Black Friday sale. Loaded with Windows 11 Pro, this portable beast features a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H CPU paired with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD, providing plenty of space for games.

Completing the gamer aesthetic with an RGB keyboard, you can customize the LED colors with the pre-installed MSI Center companion app for a personal touch. The 15.6″ IPS screen can output a 1080p resolution at up to 144Hz, or link to an external monitor for 4K at 60Hz making it a versatile gaming machine no matter where you are. Not the cheapest option, but at a limited-time 16% reduction, it’s incredibly tempting!


ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15

Not the first ASUS ROG Strix laptop among our finds, and possibly not the last, but it’s still a bargain. The 1080p IPS panel can reach up to 300Hz for ultra-smooth gaming powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU and backed up by a 12th Gen Intel Core i9 12900H plus16GB of modern DDR5 RAM clocked at 4800MHz.

The 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD is big enough for modern games, and the laptop will effortlessly handle them thanks to the ASUS ROG intelligent cooling system. With adaptive sync on its 15.6″ screen, gaming will be an absolute dream on this monstrous portable powerhouse. Plus, you get a free month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. An outstanding bargain.


ASUS TUF gaming laptop

I think squeezing a powerful gaming laptop in under that $1,000 mark is a great way to go. Machines around this price tend to strike a sweet spot between powerful gaming specs and not bankrupting you. 

The technical specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor, 16GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive with NVMe. It’s also powered by a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, which is great for gaming.

Another solid Black Friday deal from Newegg, especially if you’re the sort of person looking for a gaming laptop that won’t destroy your bank account. The ASUS ZenBook Pro can game, but it also benefits from a beautiful OLED display with touchscreen support. That’s a huge plus even for general tasks and media watching, let alone gaming. 

The specs include an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid state drive, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card. Includes USB-C and USB-A ports, an infrared camera for facial recognition programs like Windows Hello, and more.

In addition to all of that, you get some great features including full touchscreen support on the 13.4-inch display. It uses a 2-in-1 convertible design so you can use it as a tablet, too, if you prefer. Games will look great with the 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution and the 120Hz refresh rate. It has two USB-C ports in addition to other USB-A ports, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and a 720p webcam.

Well, time to save $600 on an insane gaming machine. You don’t always have to go through Dell to get an awesome price on Dell laptops. This Alienware laptop is at a great Black Friday low price, and it is equipped with what you need for some serious gaming.

The tech specs include a 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with up to 4.7GHz speeds, 16GB DDR5 RAM, a 512GB solid state drive with NVMe technology, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card for high-end gaming. That’s a good thing because you’ll need some juice to make your games look good on this 14-inch 1080p monitor with a 144hz refresh rate.

Other features include USB-C ports, Alienware Cyro-Tech cooling technology, Dolby Atmos support, and a long-lasting battery life.

(Image credit: Walmart)

Here’s a simple and affordable option if you’re looking for a great gaming machine. The Acer Nitro 5 is a great series with plenty of powerful options in its lineup. This one in particular includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB solid state drive with NVMe tech. It also has a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card, which is awesome because the laptop has a 15.6-inch screen with 1080p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.  

This MSI Creator 17 Professional laptop is enjoying a very steep discount, knocking almost a grand off the usual asking price.

(Image credit: HP)

Here’s a pretty great deal on an entry-level gaming laptop from HP. 

The HP Victus 15.6″ is powered by a GeForce GTX 1650, complete with 8GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD storage device. The GeForce GTX 1650 in here is an older GPU, but this might make for a great entry-level gaming laptop for youngsters in your family for playing games like Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, and Genshin Impact. 

It’s surely not the best gaming laptop in the world, but at this price, it’s a truly great option for those who want to get a retro-gaming rig or for games that don’t have photo-realistic graphics, the GTX 1650 is a decent GPU for casual play. Just don’t expect to be running Cyberpunk 2077 or any intensive photo-realistic modern games on this one!

Dell XPS 17 gaming laptop

(Image credit: Dell)

The Dell XPS lineup grows with each passing year. These are not laptops originally designed for *gaming* so much as productivity. Many of them feature integrated graphics and focus more on speed and slickness than just pure power or gaming prowess. However, some do feature dedicated graphics cards like this XPS 17. And they also still have all that speed and slickness with extra features including Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, 4K display resolution, and more.

This XPS 17 features a 12th-generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor with up to 4.70GHz speeds, a 1TB NVMe solid state drive, and 32GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM.

Like many online retailers, B&H has a daily deals section. While B&H is a camera store and is often devoted to camera products, today you have a chance to save on an awesome gaming laptop. The DealZone is a temporary place for deals, so this price could change or the item could sell out before the end of the day. Grab it while you can!

We’ve got that covered, too, with this machine that’s part of the MSI GF63 lineup. In fact, it’s not the first affordable member of this team that we’ve posted on this live blog. The GF63 laptops are great for anyone who wants to play games at high settings but doesn’t want to spend a fortune. Today’s deal is the lowest price ever for this laptop.

This laptop from MSI includes an Intel Core i5-11400H processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB solid state drive, and a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card.
