These are all the Black Friday gaming laptop deals still live going into the weekend, but we're now switching focus to what's coming up with the Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals. That's where all the latest and greatest discounts will now be curated going forward, so come take a look.
Discounts like an RTX 3060 notebook for just $649 and an RTX 3080-based rig for just $1,569.99, mean this is still a mighty tempting time to take the plunge on a new gaming laptop no matter your budget.
We're seeing last year's stock being flushed out ready for portable versions of Nvidia's 40-series graphics cards set to hit us sometime next year. While we wait for Nvidia to figure out how to slim down those monsters, you can bet you'll be able to find RTX 3060-powered gaming laptops on sale, all the way up to RTX 3080 machines if we're lucky.
When it comes to AMD gaming laptop deals, they've always been less common—at least on the GPU side. And although AMD is nearing the release of its RDNA 3 graphics cards, portable versions won't be around for a while yet. In other words, cheap AMD-powered gaming laptops will be fewer than Nvidia-powered ones. But keep an eye out for the odd all AMD gem.
For the best possible gaming laptop deals this Black Friday weekend, we wholeheartedly recommend going for a more recent GPU—something in Nvidia's RTX 30-series or equivalent, ideally. There will be retailers still trying to flog you an RTX 20-series laptop for over $1,000 no doubt, but don't be fooled. You can easily find a low-end 30-series lappys for less than that, so double check before you get your wallet out for an older card. A 12th Gen Intel CPU or equivalent is your best bet to stay as current as possible. And you'll want to watch out for single channel RAM configurations, which can impede performance (1x 8GB especially is a no-no).
- We'll carry on curating the best Cyber Monday PC gaming deals all the way through.
Below are all the best gaming laptop deals we feel are worth spending your hard-earned money on. We will continue to update through Black Friday weekend and beyond, and once the fun's over, we'll then make sure to link you through to any Cyber Monday hubs right here.

When is Black Friday 2022?
Black Friday 2022 begins today, November 25, and we're likely to see gaming laptop deals from heaps of retailers coming in.
The deals will run all the way through the weekend over November 26 and 27, and into Cyber Monday on November 28. Once the initial panic is over, you can bet to see leftover discounts spilling into Cyber Week, too.
So, buckle up for some great Black Friday gaming laptop deals, as we're expecting a bunch of the best gaming laptops from 2022 to go on sale.
What should I look out for in a Black Friday gaming laptop deal?
The best Black Friday gaming laptop deals will deliver high-performance hardware for a knockdown price, or at the very least not come with an overly inflated price tag.
But it doesn't automatically scan that just because something has a three-figure discount that it will be worth the money. You need to keep an eye on what parts are being used, what else you get for your cash, and whether it's actually right for you.
Things are tough for PC gaming hardware, as it stands today. But companies are still aiming to shift stock so expect some discounts on current-gen kit. Don't be fooled into parting with money for anything beyond the last generation of GPUs, however. It's unlikely there'll be a laptop with an Nvidia 10-series graphics card inside it that's worth buying this Black Friday, unless you can find a wonderfully cheap deal.
Keep an eye out for storage, and memory size too. That's most true at the low end of the market, where manufacturers may aim to keep prices low by using single sticks of memory and therefore halving the potential memory bandwidth. That might not be a problem in the very cheapest of gaming laptops, however, where the GPU will make the most difference to your experience.
