Black Friday gaming laptop deals are still available, but at this point in the weekend, you're better off looking ahead to Cyber Monday deals. The good news is that if you're in the marketing for a powerful, portable gaming machine, many of the items available here are among the best Cyber Monday gaming laptops we've spotted so far.

That's good because so far, we've seen the prices on all kinds of great laptops drop by hundreds of dollars. Better yet, those price drops remain in place. For example, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is now $899 at Best Buy— that's $500 off our pick for the best gaming laptop. Then there's the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 for $666 at Amazon, which is $230 off the normal price. There's also an insane deal on this Gigabyte Aorus 17 XE5, which was $2,399 and is now $1,449 at Best Buy — that's $950 off!
