Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the absolute best moments of the year to buy a laptop. While several thin, lightweight productivity machines have dropped to their lowest prices, so have a batch of exciting, powerful gaming laptops.

We handpicked several gaming laptops at a variety of price points and performance levels that are currently offering the biggest discounts. It's easy to be tempted by super low prices on years-old hardware, but these are all options running the latest (or just last-gen) chips - ensuring your purchase goes years before feeling outdated.

Below, you'll find a little something for everyone, from the entry-level 1080p laptops that excel with games like Fortnite and Roblox to pricier options made to power through the latest AAA games at 2.5K resolution and high frame rates.
