This is a surprise: a discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested. It's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review). There's a high-performance CPU to back it up, a decent, bright 1600p screen, and a fair amount of storage. All with a discount.

2. Meta Quest 3 Bundle | VR Headset | 128 GB | $725 $599.99 at Costco (save $125)
The Meta Quest 3 is everything we wanted in a Quest 2 (see our review): more power, better resolution, and increased comfort. This bundle at Costco is tossing a carrying case, an elite strap, a free copy of Asgard's Wrath 2, and a $25 Meta Quest Store digital gift card for just $600. It's a great deal to give you everything you need to start playing. 

3. Alienware 34 AW3423DWF | 34-inch | 165Hz | QD-OLED | $1,099.99 $799.99 at Dell (save $250)
Alienware's fancy QD-OLED panel just got that little bit cheaper. It's still not exactly entry-level at $800, but think of it as a long term investment that will make every single gaming session pop. Once you've experienced per-pixel OLED-style lighting, you won't want to go back to LCD tech. You can read our Alienware QD-OLED review for more.

4. WD Black SN850X | 1TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300MB/s read | 6,300MB/s write | $159.99 $59 at Amazon (save $100.99)
This is our favorite SSD for gaming right now. Unlike the cheaper SN770, the SN850X encapsulates the best PCIe 4.0 offers in terms of performance (check out our review). That makes it a great fit for a boot drive with space to spare for your game library, and at this price, we're happy to pay the premium for its higher speed.

5. AOC G2 Series C27G2 | 27-inch | 1080p | 165Hz | VA | FreeSync | $259.99 $199.99 at Best Buy (save $60)
Not the cheapest, but made by a very trusted panel maker who we really rate for their monitors, AOC. This panel features FreeSync and a 165Hz refresh rate, which most modern graphics cards should be able to max out in competitive titles, at the very least.

6. Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQA1A | 27-inch | 1440p | 170Hz | VA | $249.99 $199.99 at Newegg (save $50)
For the budget-conscious gamer, Asus makes a mean gaming monitor. This screen may be on the cheaper side, even costing less than some 1080p panels, yet it delivers 1440p res gaming with a 170Hz refresh rate (overclocked). Not too shabby.

7. Gigabyte M28U | 28-inch | 4K | 144Hz | IPS | $599.99 $499.99 at Newegg (save $100)
Here's a monitor we really rate from our Gigabyte M28U review. We actually loved this package for its blend of speed and resolution, even at its $650 price tag. At this tantalizingly cheap price, it's that much better.

8. Gigabyte G5 KF | Nvidia RTX 4060 | Intel Core i5 12500H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 8GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD | $1,099 $859.99 at Newegg (save $239.01)
The Gigabyte G5 (see our review) is our favorite affordable gaming laptop, packing the RTX 4060 GPU for some serious 1080p gaming performance in a budget package. It's a smart spec that essentially uses an otherwise older specification with the simple addition of just the new Nvidia RTX 40-series graphics chip. The 512GB SSD is a bit miserly, but that is upgradeable. The 8GB of DDR4 memory is also upgradeable, and you'll want to bump it to 16GB, so this is a bit of a project buy.

9. Yeyian Yumi | Core i5 12400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1TB SSD | $1,199.99 $869.99 at Newegg (save $330)
This is a good deal for a mid-tier gaming PC, especially when many rigs around this price are delivering you an RTX 3060 or RTX 3060 Ti. The Core i5 is still a solid CPU today, and RTX 4060 is probably the mainstream GPU of Nvidia's current generation of cards you'd expect in a budget build, comfortably beating both those RTX 30-series mainstays, and with the added panacea of DLSS 3.5 and Frame Generation. You also get a full 16GB RAM and a full 1TB NVMe SSD..

10. Lenovo Legion Slim 5 | RTX 4060 | AMD Ryzen 7 7640HS | 16-inch | 144Hz | 1200p | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | $1,349.99 $1,029.99 at Best Buy (save $320)
Lenovo has been doing great things with laptops lately. We really rate  Our pick as the best gaming laptop is a Lenovo, in fact. This isn't that laptop, but it's a slim version with a cut-down spec that will appeal to anyone actually looking to carry this around day-to-day. The only downside here is the slim SSD storage, but otherwise the spec looks great.

11. Nextorage Japan | 2TB | NVMe | PCIe 4.0 | 7,300MB/s read | 6900MB/s write | $249.99 $99.99 at Newegg (save $150)
This is a high-end PCIe 4.0 drive for a little over the price of much more mainstream drives. The read/write speeds here are rather phenomenal: the Nextorage can reach the upper echelons of PCIe 4.0 bandwidth at 7,300MB/s read and 6,900MB/s write. If you can spare the cash, I'd make the leap to the Nextorage.

This is the RTX 4060 laptop to buy right now. For a little under $1,000, you can score a brand new RTX 4060 in a laptop that's not massively underpowered in some other way. Usually, we'd see manufacturers skimp on the SSD or RAM to get the cost down to this level, but here you're looking at a healthy 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe drive. Lovely.

Lenovo has been doing great things with laptops lately. Our pick as the best gaming laptop is a Lenovo, in fact. This isn't that laptop, but it's a slim version with a cut-down spec that will appeal to anyone actually looking to carry this around day-to-day. The only downside here is the slim SSD storage, but otherwise the spec looks great. It was cheaper over the recent Prime Day, so I'd expect it to drop below $1,000 again closer to Black Friday.

MSI Crosshair 15 | RTX 4070 | Intel Core i7 13620H | 16-inch | 144Hz | 1200p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,389.90 Amazon (save $310.09)
We were surprised to see a new 16-inch RTX 4070-powered laptop for only $1,400. This Crosshair has a current-gen Intel CPU, so it's great for working and gaming. Also, the display has a 16:10 aspect ratio, so you get more field of view which is super useful in first-person shooters.

Asus TUF A17 | Nvidia RTX 4070 | AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS | 17.3-inch | 144Hz | 1080p | 16GB DDR5 | 1TB SSD | $1,799.99 $1,369 at Amazon (save $430.99)
If you're after a large-screen laptop for school with a little Triple-A gaming on the side, the TUF A17 will certainly deliver. It is only a 1080p panel, which is a bit of a shame, but its RTX 4070 will run pretty much everything at that resolution. It also has an 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen CPU that sports the 780M integrated graphics. That's the same as in all the latest handhelds so it can give decent gaming performance on the go and should offer more gaming battery life than running on the RTX 4070 when away from a plug socket.

Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 | Nvidia RTX 4060 | AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS | 14-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,599.99 at Best Buy (save $200)
If you don't want a hulking gaming laptop, let me introduce the Zephyrus 14 (see our review): a 14-incher that can game without busting your bank balance or your shoulder when lugging it around—no-nonsense specs in a delightful package. This is the latest version with the RTX 40-series GPUs; this is a very smart package, though not the most affordable RTX 4060 machine by any stretch.

This laptop offers a higher-spec CPU and more RAM than most you'll find cheaper with an RTX 4070. If you're after a laptop that can deliver for work, creative pursuits, and gaming, this will be a better fit for it.

This Zephyrus 16 is one of our favorite next-gen RTX 40-series laptops (see our review of the RTX 4090 version). This flashy machine has a lot going on under the hood and has a beautifully bright QHD+ (2560 x 1600) at a speedy 240Hz, which might just about :thumb.

This is a great discount on the best RTX 4080 laptop I've tested even though the price has gone up $50 since Prime Day. It's a fantastic notebook, offering performance that can often match and sometimes beat an RTX 4090-based system (see our review).

Skytech Shadow | Ryzen 5 5600X | RTX 4060 Ti | 16GB DDR4 RAM | 1TB NVMe SSD | $1,129.99 at Newegg
Another banger for Skytech, with this smashing low-end combo that's technically not on sale. The company keeps costs down with an affordable yet great-for-gaming, Ryzen 5 5600X processor. Paired with the RTX 4060 Ti, you shouldn't have trouble at 1080p or 1440p. And I've no complaints about that price, even regarding supporting components.

This might be the best price on an RTX 4060 Ti system with DDR5 RAM for a good long while. With a modern Intel chip and platform you'll have the basis for a quality gaming PC for a good few years to come, and with room to upgrade, too. For $1,200, you have a deceptively powerful 1080p gaming PC that won't disappoint you. 

Zotac MEK Hero Across the Spider-Verse | AMD Ryzen 5 7600 | Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti | 16GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB NVMe SSD | $1,299.00 at Amazon
Granted, it looks a lot like someone has just slapped a couple of Spidey stickers on the side of this chassis, but Zotac has a specific Across the Spider-Verse range of graphics cards, of which this RTX 4060 Ti is one. And yes, you get a bunch of stickers in the pack so you can adorn your case just like the pictures. Whatever, this is still a good price for an RTX 4060 Ti machine, and it comes sporting speedy DDR5 and a 1TB SSD, too. And that Zen 4 Ryzen chip isn't bad either.

ABS Stratos Aqua | Intel i7 13700KF  | Nvidia RTX 4070 | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 1TB PCIe SSD | $1,799.99 $1,499.99 at Newegg (save $300)
This ABS gaming rig is a good entry-level system with a nice base to expand if you decide to upgrade down the road. The RTX 4070 inside makes it ideal for 1440p gaming at pretty high settings with a decent framerate. 

MSI Aegis R | Intel i7 13700F  | Nvidia RTX 4070 | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 2TB PCIe SSD | $1,799.99 $1,499.99 at Newegg (save $300)
This monolithic PC packs a lot of power at $1,500 thanks to its powerful current-gen Core Intel i7 CPU and RTX 4070. The one thing I really like is that it has a 2TB SSD, which is sorely lacking in many of these gaming PC deals. 

Thermaltake View i467T R4 | Intel Core i7 12700F | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti | 1TB SSD | 32GB DDR5 RAM | $1,649.99 at Best Buy
Thermaltake has been knocking it out of the park with some desktop deals recently, and this RTX 4070 Ti system is no exception. Yeah, it's got a last-gen CPU, but it still has enough horsepower to play most of your games with all the bells and whistles turned on.

Skytech Siege Gaming PC | AMD Ryzen 7 5800X  | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti | 1TB SSD | 16GB DDR4 RAM | $1,679.99 at Newegg (save $70)
This Skytech Siege has a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU with an RTX 4070 Ti GPU backing it up. You're giving yourself really good performance for less than two grand. And you could dip your toes into some 4K gaming.

If you prefer your CPUs to come in an Intel flavor, then this Skytech system is pretty much the same as the above but uses a Core i7 12700F instead. It's a little bit faster in many games than the AMD CPU but it does use more power.
Price check: Newegg $1,699.99

This is a pretty good deal on a mid-range gaming PC with an RTX 4070  Ti and a current-gen (at least for now) CPU for only $1,800. This should give you some pretty decent performance for gaming and productivity.

Skytech Azure | Intel Core i5 13600K | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti | 1TB SSD | 32GB DDR5 RAM |$1,799.99 at Newegg
The recent price drop on this liquid-cooled Skytech Azure gives a lot of performance for under $2,000. The current-gen Core i5 CPU provides a pretty generous core count for the price, and the RTX 4070 Ti inside it is no joke. Jump on this one before it sells out.

CyberpowerPC Gamer Master | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X | RX 7900 XT | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 1TB PCIe SSD | $2,019.99 at Adorama
Not technically a deal, and not necessarily as great a pricing as you could get a PC with Nvidia's competing RTX 4070 Ti for. But as an all-AMD gaming PC, it's worth a look, particularly with that nice, large PCIe SSD and DDR5 RAM.
Price check: Amazon $2,089.99 | Newegg $2,080.53

Skytech Chronos | Intel Core i7 12700F | AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX | 1TB NVMe SSD | 16GB RAM | $2,099.99 at Walmart
While you're going last-gen on the Intel CPU here, that's a rather beastly AMD GPU. It may not be a consistent RTX 4080 competitor, but it'll get the job done at 4K. Pair that with a nice chunk of storage, and you've got a decent gaming PC for the price.

Lenovo Legion Tower 7i | Intel Core i7 13700KF | GeForce RTX 4080 | 32GB DDR5-5600 | 1TB PCIe SSD | $2,989.99 $2,349.49 at Lenovo (save $640)
There's a lot to like about this Lenovo Legion Tower gaming PC. For starters, it's got a powerful current-gen CPU and decent RAM, making it a perfect gaming and work PC. I would have loved to have seen a larger SSD, but for the money you save, you can easily upgrade it for pretty cheap. 

MSI Aegis RS | Intel Core i7 13700KF | Nvidia RTX 4080 | 16GB DDR5 RAM | 2TB PCIe SSD | $3,199.99 $2,399.99 at Newegg (save $800)
We found another good deal on a 13th Gen Intel machine with an RTX 4080. I wish the RAM were a bit better, but everything else, including a speedy 2TB SSD, is great if you plan on losing yourself in demanding games like Starfield but want a decent framerate.

ASRock RX 6600 | 8GB | 1,792 shaders | 2,491MHz | $209.99 $199.99 at Newegg (save $10 with promo code VGAEXCAA957)
The RX 6600 is a quality 1080p GPU now that its price creeps ever lower. At the sub-$200 point, we're getting a budget graphics card that delivers high frame rates in the latest games at top 1080p graphics presets. At least AMD and Intel are bringing GPU pricing down, eh?

Sparkle Arc A750 ORC OC Edition | 8GB | 3,584 shaders | 2,200MHz boost| $239.99 $189.99 at Walmart (save $50)
The Intel discrete graphics cards have only gotten more relevant since their inauspicious launch. With successive driver releases increasing performance and now a significant price drop, the A750 is now one of the most tempting budget GPUs around. It's a bit more power hungry than AMD's RX 6600 but is a super capable 1080p card knocking both RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 out of the value GPU stakes.
