We're now a mere week away from Amazon Prime Day, which this year is running between July 8 - 11, and we've already found some quality gaming laptop deals in the mix. Our hopes don't lie solely with Amazon, however, as many other retailers will be using these dates as an excuse for big deals. So, now's an excellent time to start shopping for the gaming laptop of your dreams.
👉All the early Prime Day deals on Amazon👈
The latest RTX 50-series gaming laptops are here and they're already available with a scattering of discounts here or there. That's the good news. The bad news is that these 50-series laptops have seen some of the better RTX 40-series-powered machines go out of stock, or at the very least up in price to the point that they're no longer worth recommending.
But don't fret, there are still plenty of deals to be had on wondrous machines for gaming. Below you'll find all of those, and remember we test heaps of gaming laptops all year round to make sure our picks are actually solid.
If you're on the lookout for the latest generation of laptop, keep an eye out for the RTX 50-series paired with any of the following: Intel's Core Ultra 200H/200HX, AMD's Ryzen AI 300 Series, or AMD's Ryzen 9000 Series (ie the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D). You can also find some last-gen chips that are still well worth buying, but you'll generally find one of those listed here with the latest GPUs.
How do I become a Prime member for Amazon Prime Day?
You can sign up on Amazon's Prime membership page for a 30-day free trial. Remember though, you'll have to create an Amazon account and provide payment card details—so if you only want the Prime benefits for Prime Day itself, make sure to remember to cancel your subscription before your 30-day membership ends.
When does Amazon's Prime Day 2025 start and end?
Amazon Prime Day 2025 starts on July 8 and runs through to July 11. It's more a week than a day, but you try telling Amazon that. Newegg also has the Fantastech sale running from July 7 and we expect many other retailers to join in on the summer festivities.

Lenovo LOQ | RTX 4060 | Core i5 13450HX | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 512 GB SSD | $999 $879 at B&H Photo (save $120)
Even with new Nvidia laptop GPUs starting to ship, it'll probably be a while before we see a truly budget mobile RTX 50-series. So for those saving the pennies, this RTX 4060-sporting Lenovo is still just about a good deal, even if the price has gone up a bit recently. It's got a decently speedy screen, 16 GB of DDR5, a 115 W TGP GPU, and, err, a very small SSD. Still, it's the easiest thing to upgrade in a mobile machine, and at this price it's very difficult to find more gaming laptop for your buck—and likely will be for a while yet, too.

Now the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are here, it can be tempting to think that RTX 40-series laptops aren't worth considering—but you'd be wrong. The RTX 4070 mobile (particularly the 140 W variant, as found here) is still a very grunty gaming GPU, particularly when paired with a 1080p screen. For just under $1,000, this particular machine is well worth some serious consideration, even in the face of incoming competition. Plus it's got a decently-sized SSD, which is sometimes rare at this price point.

Acer Predator Helios Neo 14 | RTX 4070 | Core Ultra 7 155H | 14-inch | 1600p | 120 Hz | 16 GB LPDDR5X | 1 TB SSD | $1,299 $1,219.99 at Amazon (save $79.01)
With a 110 W version of the RTX 4070, with wee Acer machine has plenty of grunt about it, and that 120 Hz refresh 1600p panel will make a really crisp screen for a 14-inch laptop. You're also getting a full 1 TB SSD alongside your 16 GB of soldered memory (no upgrades happening there) and a decent Meteor Lake CPU at its heart. It's one of Intel's more efficient chips, with six Performance and eight Efficient cores, which ought to help with the battery life of this portable machine.

HP Omen Transcend 14 | RTX 5060 | Intel Core Ultra 7 255H | 14-inch | 1800p | 120 Hz | 32 GB RAM | 1 TB SSD | $1,829.99 $1,479.99 at Best Buy (save $350)
RTX 5060 laptop deals are starting to trickle through, but many are still pretty hard to justify for the cash. This HP Omen Transcend 14, though, is a slim and svelte travel-friendly little machine with an OLED panel, making that +$1,500 price a little easier to swallow. If you're looking for a laptop of this size and price, you're unfortunately going to have to put up with a low-wattage variant of the RTX 5060—but DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation support means it still stands a chance of pushing decent framerates at that 1800p panel. 32 GB of RAM is nice to see, too.

Beyond the brand-spanking-new 115 W variant of the RTX 5070 sitting at its heart, you're also getting a beefy eight Performance core, 16 Efficient Intel chip, 32 GB of DDR5, and a 2 TB SSD thrown in with this particular machine. Oh, and a speedy 240 Hz screen, making for quite the specs sheet. It's not got a fancy OLED panel, but otherwise this is a very well-rounded package for a fair bit less than most RTX 5070 machines we're finding right now.

Sitting somewhere under the RTX 4080 and well above the RTX 4070 in terms of gaming performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is a great mid-range laptop GPU. I've used the new Vector 16 HX AI for weeks, and have been hugely impressed with the RTX 5080 version, and the RTX 5070 Ti version promises much of the same. The 1200p IPS screen is a good match for the GPU and CPU, which is of 20-core Intel stock. But, ack, another 512 GB SSD. Why?! Thankfully there are two M.2 slots in the system, making it an easy and cheap upgrade down the line.

I know, I know, it's a lot of cash. But the truth is, it's difficult to find RTX 50-series laptops for anything less than silly money right now, and this one's got the big boi RTX 5080 for a just about reasonable sum. Our Dave has been playing with this particular model recently and likes the value proposition you get when you take into account that mega GPU, although it is a bit of a hairdryer on full whack. Still, stick it in Balanced mode and the noise is much more reasonable, and it still performs about as well as the other RTX 5080 machines we've tested. Which is to say, very well indeed.

Here comes the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i again, except this time with a full-fat 175 W RTX 5080 on board. Oh, and still with a rather substantial discount. We've extensively tested the mobile RTX 5080 at this point, and can confirm it's a very speedy GPU indeed. Plus, 32 GB of RAM, a 2 TB SSD and a 240 Hz screen? Yeah, this is the full package alright, although it's not exactly cheap, I'll grant you.

Steam Deck LCD | SteamOS | 256 GB | £349 at Steam
There's no deal on the Steam Deck right now, but since the launch of the OLED model, you can buy the mid-sized LCD for a good price. It's still a wicked handheld, too, most of all because of its custom SteamOS operating system.

Gigabyte G6X | RTX 4060 | Core i7 13650HX | 16-inch | 1200p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-4800 | 1 TB SSD | £949 at Amazon
Another superb combination of components in a Gigabyte laptop for a very reasonable price. The G6X has a speedy 165 Hz screen, a decently powerful Core i7 CPU, and a 105 W RTX 4060. That's not quite top spec for the mobile version, but close enough that it'll have no problem firing frames at that 1200p display.

Well lookee here, it's that rarest of things—a 1600p, 140 W RTX 4070 gaming laptop deal in the UK from a major manufacturer for less than £1,500. Much less, actually, which makes this a very good shout for anyone looking for an RTX 4070 machine for less with very few drawbacks. I'd like to see some more RAM, but other than that it's a corker.

The bad news here is you're getting an 85 W variant of the RTX 5070. The good news is, it's a very slim and svelte machine, and thanks to DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, this sleek lappy should be able to pump frames (AI-generated or otherwise) at its 1600p 165 Hz display with aplomb. RTX 5070 machines are yet to see substantial discounts in the UK, but this one is definitely worth a look if you want to get on the DLSS 4 train for reasonable cash.

We've been very impressed by the RTX 5080 version of this particular laptop for the value proposition it provides, and the RTX 5070 Ti variant is unlikely to be a slouch, either. While most RTX 50-series lappys are still priced into the stratosphere, this 16-inch machine is downright reasonable for the components you end up receiving. That's apart from the SSD, unfortunately, which is far too small. Still, sticking a 1 TB drive in a laptop is one of the easier hardware tasks you can perform, and the rest of the components are pretty stellar for the cash.

RTX 5080 machines are still eye-wateringly expensive for the most part, but we're big fans of this Vector lappy, especially because of the price. It might not have the prettiest chassis, but it's as fast as a very, very fast thing for much cheaper than the competition—with a speedy 240 Hz IPS panel thrown into the bargain, too. That makes it a genuine value proposition in a laptop market that's still starved of stock and filled with extremely pricey equivalents. A smart buy right now, no doubt.
