Acer Nitro 5 | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $798 at Walmart
Even now the hefty discount has expired, the Nitro is still one of the cheapest RTX 3060-based gaming laptop around going into Cyber Monday. For this much cash you're usually looking at a GTX 1650 Ti based machine, at best. But here, you get a genuine 1080p gaming GPU, and a quality AMD Ryzen CPU, too. The 8GB of RAM is a bit weak for high-end productivity tasks, but the 144Hz screen and 512GB SSD go some way to making up for that slight shortfall.

🚨BIG BOI SCREEN🚨

🚨MY FAVORITE LAPTOP DEAL TODAY!🚨

Asus ROG Strix G15 | AMD RX 6800M | AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX | 15.6-inch | 1440p | 165Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,699.99 $1,099.99 at Best Buy (save $600)
This is a genuinely fantastic gaming laptop deal, and you're going to need to hurry because if people have any sense they'll snap this right up. The RX 6800M is AMD's most powerful mobile GPU, and we're talking around RTX 3070 Ti levels of standard gaming prowess. For just $1,100. Throw in a 1440p screen running at 165Hz and you've got one mighty machine.

🚨CHEAPEST RTX 3070 LAPTOP AROUND🚨

Asus TUF Dash 15 | Nvidia RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7-12650H | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | $1,499.99 $999.99 at Best Buy (save $500)
Scraping in just under the $1,000 mark is this RTX 3070-powered ultramobile gaming PC. It's still rocking a 10-core, 16-thread CPU, but the Dash 15 is Asus' thinner gaming laptop variant and is a really nice machine. We'd maybe want a little more storage than 512GB but there's a spare SSD slot inside for when you do want to upgrade. This is also the cheapest RTX 3070 machine we've found right now.

If you're after RTX 3080 performance in your laptop, then these two are your best bets right now. The MSI is the cheaper machine by far, but the Zepyhyrus G15 from Asus packs both a 1TB SSD and a gorgeous 1440p 240Hz screen into its chassis.

Asus Zephyrus G15 | Nvidia RTX 3080 | AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS | 15.6-inch | 1440p | 240Hz | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | $1,999.99 $1,699.99 at Best Buy (save $300)
This is an incredible amount of gaming laptop for the money, and a pretty looking chassis to wrap it all up in. The RTX 3080 obviously gets top billing, but that 1440p 240Hz IPS screen has to get a mention, too. The rest of the spec is pretty standard, though I am pleased it's rocking a full 1TB SSD. The only note of warning is that it can get a little toasty thanks to that thinner chassis, however.

🚨SO DAMNED PRETTY ALERT🚨

Okay, so compared to the other machines we've been recommending, this Blade 14 isn't particularly great value. There are RTX 3080 laptops costing far less. But I love the Blade 14 as a machine, and it's even prettier in pink.

2022-11-28T15:26:37.909Z

If you're not willing to pay the pink premium for the Quartz edition, this Blade 14 in black is a great little laptop. One of my favorite laptops ever, to be honest.

Gigabyte Aero 16 XE4 | Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti | Intel Core i7 12700H | 15.6-inch | 4K | 16GB DDR4 | 2TB SSD | $1,499.99 $1,309.99 at Newegg (save $190)
This deal isn't quite as hot as it was early Friday, but it's still a good price. For the cost of some RTX 3060 laptops, here you can net an RTX 3070 Ti, a high-end up-to-date Intel CPU, plenty of RAM and storage—all packed into a chassis that we've liked for a long time. It's billed as more of a creator laptop, being an Nvidia Studio laptop, and that's what we've always used these laptops for on-team. Hence the 4K resolution. But you could still game at high-res with the spec it delivers.

2022-11-28T16:42:31.265Z

Asus TUF Gaming | Nvidia RTX 3060 | AMD Ryzen 7 6800H | 17.3-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | $1,249 $849 at Walmart (save $400)
Ooh look, another 17-inch gaming laptop with an RTX 3060 inside it. These big screen machines generally come with a bit of a premium, mostly because they're quite niche devices, but this is a great price for one. And it's got a decent spec, too, including a great Zen 3 mobile CPU, a 144Hz refresh on that big boi screen, and the requisite 16GB/512GB RAM and SSD combo.

🚨CHEAPEST RTX 3070 TI GAMING LAPTOP SO FAR🚨

2022-11-28T17:12:15.857Z

Gotta catch 'em all. Actually, don't do that. If you bought all three colors of the Blade 14 you'd bankrupt yourself.
