Today's Amazon Prime Early Access deals are a sort of Black Friday preview. Are there deals? Yes. But is there also a lot of junk to sort through? Also yes. If you're not looking to buy an Amazon device like a Kindle, this Prime Early Access sale probably won't blow you away. We did find a few decent discounts on gaming laptops, though, which we've collected below.
The general rule of thumb for picking a gaming laptop deal is to start by deciding what GPU you want. To run modern games at high framerates, you'll likely want an Nvidia RTX 30-series card or AMD equivalent, so that's the bar we're using to decide which laptops we include.
I'd recommend not paying any more than $900 for an RTX 3050 or RX 6650 XT-powered machine, or $1,000 for one packing an RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT. At the top end, RTX 3090 Ti and RX 6900 XT machines shouldn't set you back more than $2,300 as an absolute maximum. At that price, it should at least come with a high refresh rate, 1440p panel.

Keep in mind too, that it isn't just Amazon we'll be seeing discounted goods showing up on. Other sites like Newegg are offering some bargains, too.
