Upgrade your fun with a killer Black Friday gaming laptop deal

A gaming laptop is what you want if you’re not interested in being shackled to a desk, but the elevated price due to specialized hardware inside can be a strong deterrent. However, thanks to Black Friday sales, you can save huge on a bunch of our favorite laptops that will deliver an awesome gaming experience. We’ve rounded up a bunch of the best deals right here to help you find exactly what you need.

Alienware m15 R2 — Save up to 19%

The 15-inch Alienware m15 R2 is available with up to a 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9980HK processor (CPU), 16GB of dual-channel DDR4-2666MHz RAM, dual 2TB M.2 PCIe solid-state drives (SSD), and a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics card (GPU) with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It’s all playable on a 4K OLED display with 1ms response time and 60Hz refresh rate.

Of course, with all this hardware you’ll be paying a premium, which is why we recommend the mid-range model, on sale from $2,530 down to $2,050. It includes a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of dual-channel RAM, a 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA RTX 2070 GPU with 8GB of VRAM. Instead of 4K, the display is set at 1080p with a 240Hz refresh rate, 7ms response time, and perfect sRGB color.

Alienware m17 R2 — Save up to 17%

Like the m15, the Alienware m17 R2 has a ton of configurations to choose from. If you’re looking to save the most money, we recommend checking out the model with 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and NVIDIA RTX 2060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM.

The 17.3-inch display offers more screen real estate, and it comes with an FHD resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and 9ms response time. This is enough performance for a smooth 1080p or 1440p gaming experience with modern AAA games.

Lenovo Legion Y740 15 — $1,400 (Save $600)

The Legion Y740 15 is one of our favorite gaming laptops thanks to quiet, cool performance, and right now you can save about $600 on a powerful configuration. Included is a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of dual-channel RAM, a 1TB hard-disk drive (HDD) coupled with a 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU with 8GB of VRAM.

Performance hardware is more than capable of putting up a high framerate on the 15.6-inch 1080p display, complete with a 144Hz refresh rate, G-Sync, and Dolby Vision HDR. If you’re looking to enjoy modern AAA games with ease, this is a good choice.

Lenovo Legion Y740 17 — $1,500 (Save $630)

The 17.3-inch Legion Y740 is also on sale for Black Friday, and you’ll get basically the same hardware inside as you’ll find in the Legion Y740 15. This includes a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, a 1TB HDD coupled with a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU with 8GB of VRAM.

The display is larger so you’ll be less tempted to switch to an external display, and it still has a 144Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision HDR, and G-Sync tech for tear-free visuals.

Dell G3 15 — Save up to 26%

Dell has a bunch of different G3 15 configurations on sale, so you should be able to find something that exactly fits your needs. For the best savings — a whopping 26% off for a total price of $850 — take a look at the mid-range model with 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H CPU, 8GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM, a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GPU with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM.

The 15.6-inch display has an FHD resolution, relatively slim border, and punchy contrast. The hardware inside will deliver high framerates at 1080p, but keep in mind it won’t push the upper limits like the higher-end RTX gaming laptops will.

Dell G7 15 — Save up to 22%

Dell’s G7 15 is a step up from the G3 15, available with up to a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU and 4K OLED display. For the most money saved, however, we recommend the upper-end model with 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of dual-channel RAM, 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and NVIDIA RTX 2060 GPU with 6GB of VRAM. All this for about $1,350, and that’s including a 1080p display with 144Hz refresh rate.

Razer Blade 15 — $2,200 (Save $200)

The Razer Blade 15 is an impressive piece of hardware, and the price reflects that. Any money saved is great in our books. The model in question discounted for Black Friday includes an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB of DDR RAM, a 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU with 8GB of VRAM. This is all crammed into an ultra-thin body with smooth lines that you won’t hate carrying around with you.

The 15.6-inch display has an FHD resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, and it just looks awesome thanks to deep color and contrast. Not to mention that slim bezel and customizable RGB keyboard. For a high-end gaming experience, don’t miss this one.

Razer Blade Pro 17 — $3,100 (Save $100)

The Blade Pro 17 basically builds on what makes the Blade 15 great — slim, attractive design and powerful hardware — and blows it up to include a 17.3-inch FHD display with 144Hz refresh rate. It also ups the CPU to a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H and GPU to a NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q for ultimate power. This is an expensive laptop, but if you want some of the best hardware out there, don’t sleep on it.

ASUS ROG Strix G731GU — $900 (Save $500)

The 17.3-inch ASUS ROG Strix G731GU brings a huge FHD display powered by some impressive hardware, especially for the $900 sale price. Get a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD, and NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti GPU with 6GB of VRAM.

The display has a slim bezel, the full keyboard with numberpad has a colorful backlight, and there are plenty of ports for connecting your gaming accessories. If you want a solid gaming experience at 1080p, this laptop will deliver.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus S GX701 — $2,500 (Save $800)

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on this beast of a 17.3-inch laptop, you can now save $800 for Black Friday. That brings the total price down to $2,500, which still seems high until you check out the design and hardware inside. The keyboard and touchpad sit along the bottom edge of the laptop to make room for the beefy NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q GPU, and the display has an FHD resolution with 144Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and G-Sync.

Rounding out the hardware is an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8750H CPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD. This 17-incher is just 0.74 inches thin (18.7mm), yet it’s going to deliver high-end performance for all games.

ASUS TUF 15 — $580 (Save $270)

If you like to take your gaming laptop with you wherever you go, the TUF series from ASUS is no doubt attractive. These laptops undergo MIL-STD 810G durability testing to ensure they can withstand abuse above and beyond usual wear, and they’re packed with gaming hardware.

This model in question won’t break any speed records, but it will still deliver a decent 1080p experience on the 15.6-inch display. Included is a 9th Gen Intel Core i5-9300H CPU, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a NVIDIA GTX 1650 GPU with 4GB of VRAM.
