Best early Black Friday gaming laptop deals 2024


If you can believe it, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner. We know, it seems like we just got done with another massive sale in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event, but there's simply no rest for dedicated deal hunters. So, let's keep the momentum going, shall we?

While Black Friday is a good time to buy pretty much anything you're looking for, it's especially kind to gamers. From discounts on individual games, consoles, accessories, and more, you're bound to save a ton this holiday season if you're an avid player. That includes gaming laptops, too, which are a fantastic way to dip your toes into the realm of PC gaming if you're not ready (or able) to commit to a desktop setup just yet.

If you're one of those people, take a look at some of our favorite gaming laptop deals ahead of Black Friday 2024, including offers from big brands like Razer, Asus, and plenty of others.

Best gaming laptop deal

Why we like it

Asus is known for its high-quality gaming laptops, and the ROG Zephyrus line is one of the very best to come from the lineup (we loved the G14). The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 comes packed with some great internals right out of the box, including an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU and a sizeable 1TB SSD for storage. Better yet, this model features a stunning OLED display that'll have all of your games looking their best, whether you're playing at home or out in the wild. Ahead of Black Friday, the gaming machine is $2,399.99 at Best Buy, saving you $400 off the usual asking price.

Best budget gaming laptop deal

Why we like it

Not every gaming laptop has to drain your bank account, and that's never been more true than with the Acer Nitro V. It's one of our favorite budget gaming laptops to date, and it's only $699.99 ahead of Black Friday — that's $250 in savings. Plus, this bundle comes with a nice carrying case, so that's fun.
