Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are only a few days away, but the online retail giant is already slashing prices for numerous products. Since I review gaming laptops for a living, I’m on the hunt for the best deals to tell you all about. While we’ll likely see the biggest deals during the event, there are some great laptops on sale right now.

For instance, the retail giant is offering some of the best gaming laptops for hundreds of dollars off, like the Lenovo Legion 5i and HP Omen 17, which are both heavily reduced. Not only are these portable gaming rigs affordable, but they’re also powerful enough to play the best PC games at high resolutions and with smooth frame rates.

While you might find better deals when the Prime Big Deal Days event officially starts on October 7, I suggest taking advantage of the sales happening now. Here are seven Amazon Prime Day gaming laptop deals to consider.
