massive discounts on Alienware, MSI and more

Best Buy is one of the best places to look for Black Friday gaming laptop deals, especially when you have a beauty like this HP Victus knocked down to just $450. That low price comes with tradeoffs, though: it only has 8GB of RAM and only has a GTX 2050 graphics card, but it’s still powerful enough if you’re looking to game on a budget and don’t mind scaling down some of the settings. This $450 price is also the lowest we’ve ever seen it. 

While gaming laptops can be expensive, there are plenty of budget options. Normally $900, this laptop is down to just $695 during this Black Friday sale and is powerful enough to handle even modern games, although the settings might not be completely maxed out. 

Not everyone wants a huge, hulking gaming laptop. If that sounds like you, then this 15-inch beauty is right up your alley. At only $700, it comes with an RTX 3050 and 16GB of RAM, as well as a 512GB SSD. This is near the record-low price (it only dropped lower around Prime Day), so you shouldn’t hold out for a lower price — this is probably the best it’s going to be this year. 

At $800, this is an absolute steal. Not only is a 144Hz display — more than enough for e-sports and competitive gaming — but this laptop also comes with one of the best graphics cards you can buy right now, along with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever seen it, it’s still one heck of a deal. 

Although Corsair is better known for their accessories, they also produce gaming laptops — and the Corsair Voyager is a whopping 50% off in this Black Friday sale. You can $1,000 on a machine that comes packed with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and high-end AMD Radeon graphics. Not only is this the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this model, but it’s the absolute best discount on a gaming laptop this year. 

Gaming laptops are a hefty investment, but they’re worth it — especially when you consider that this 17-inch monster comes with a 240Hz display, an RTX 4080, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Essentially, this is a powerhouse of a laptop that will be able to handle the latest and greatest games on maxed-out settings with ease. 

The Nitro 17 is another huge laptop[ that gives an abundance of screen space for gaming, along with all the power you could ask for. It even has a 165Hz display for buttery-smooth animations that will give you an edge up in the most competitive games. The discount is nothing to scoff at, either. Sure, it’s not the lowest we’ve seen — but it’s still a great deal considering the components packed into this machine. 

Alienware is a well-known name in the gaming laptop business, with years of history and development backing it up. This laptop is testament to that, with an 18-inch display, a whopping 480Hz refresh rate, 32GB of RAM, an RTX 4080, and blazing-fast processor. There is no game on the market this laptop can’t handle; in fact, you can even run a complicated VR rig off this if you wanted. This is also the lowest price on record for this laptop. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to snatch it up, this is it.
