Amazon Prime Day cometh and we’re expecting deals on gaming laptops with the newest portable GPU offerings, as well as plenty of old stock that retailers will be trying to shift ASAP. That means while there will be machines powered by Nvidia’s RTX 40-series as well as AMD’s RDNA 3 goodies, you’ll likely have to wade through some not so well priced last-gen gaming laptops to find what you’re looking for.
The trick is knowing a good price for a gaming laptop when you see it. As a general rule, you shouldn’t expect to pay much over $2,800 for an RTX 4080-powered gaming laptop or AMD equivalent 7000 series. At the same time, an RTX 4070 machine shouldn’t set you back more than $2,000.
If you’re thinking of going for something a little less beefy in order to save money, we’re essentially past the point of recommending a last-gen gaming laptop for Prime Day. Now we’ve got the full breadth of current generation portable graphics to choose from, a 30-series laptop just doesn’t look to be worth it.
If you’re desperate to save pennies, you should be able to nab a low-end RTX 4050 gaming laptop for around $800, in fact. Which is about the price you’ll see some retailers still trying to shill RTX 3060-powered gaming laptops for. Don’t fall for it, people. If you’re still unsure, we’ve been scouring for gaming laptop deals to save you some time and have collated the comprehensive list of laptop deals below for you to choose from. GLHF.
