Best Buy gaming laptop deals
Lenovo LOQ 15: was $949 now $629 @ Best Buy
A decent gaming laptop deal that may not boast the most cutting edge graphics tech, but the RTX 3050 still has enough grunt to handle most modern games around a solid 30 fps (if not higher) at this laptop's native 1080p resolution. The 144Hz refresh rate means response times are extremely speedy, while 8GB of DDR5 RAM and an 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H processor round off this mid-range gaming laptop nicely.
Acer Predator Helios Neo 16: was $1,349 now $949 @ Best Buy
The Acer Predator Helios Neo is a powerful gaming laptop that can be used for just about any task. The $400 discount is obviously the headline news here, but under the hood, there's plenty to write home about the Helios' innards. Its 16-inch panel with 165Hz refresh rate, Intel Core i7-13700HX CPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and GeForce RTX 4050 GPU make for a combo that's very much up to the task of handling modern PC games at a solid frame rate.
Asus TUF Gaming A16: was $1,099 now $979 @ Best Buy
While not the lowest price we've ever seen, right now Best Buy has this well-balanced gaming machine for $120 off. The 16-inch Asus TUF Gaming Laptop comes equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7735HS CPU, AMD Radeon RX 7600S GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a full HD, 165Hz LED display. Those specs should be able to handle big PC hits such as Starfield at frame rates above what the Xbox Series X can muster up.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2022): was $1,599 now $1,049 @ Best Buy
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is the best gaming laptop you can buy. This config sports a 14-inch (2560 x 1440) 165Hz display, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, AMD Ryzen 9 7000 Series CPU, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. In our Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop delivers great performance, incredible battery life (11 hours and 32 minutes), and unbeatable portability.
Alienware m18 Gaming Laptop: was $2,549 now $1,999 @ Best Buy
The gargantuan Alienware m18 gaming laptop is serious business — and right now Best Buy has it marked down for under $2,000. This monster packs an AMD Ryzen 9, an RTX 4070 GPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. On top of that, it also has a gorgeous 18-inch display with a 480Hz refresh rate. In our Alienware m18 review, we said it was one of the most powerful gaming laptops we've tested to date.
