Amazon Prime Day has finally started and will be going through to July 11. We've already found some quality gaming laptop deals in the mix.

So, now's an excellent time to start shopping for the gaming laptop of your dreams.

OUR favorite Prime Day PC gaming deals👈

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.

Even with new Nvidia laptop GPUs on the market, it'll probably be a while before we see sub-$1,000 mobile RTX 50-series machines. So for those saving the pennies, this RTX 4060-sporting Lenovo is still a good deal. 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.

Who would have thought we'd be seeing Alienware laptops leading the charge for reasonably-priced RTX 50-series machines? Not me, that's who. Still, this Aurora 16 has a handsome specs sheet for the cash, including a 10-core Intel CPU (six Performance, four Efficient), 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a properly-sized 1 TB SSD. And of course you'll be getting a DLSS 4-ready and Multi Frame Generation supported GPU, although it's the current tiddler of the range. It's the 85 W version, though, which is a little power-limited, and not the best match for that 1600p screen. Still, cheaper than you thought, ey?

A 1200p screen is a good match for the mobile RTX 5060, especially a nicely high-refresh rate 165 Hz panel as you'll find here. We're big fans of the Asus TUF lineup of reasonably-priced gaming laptops—and this one looks to be a bit of a sweetheart, what with a full 32 GB of DDR5 onboard, a 1 TB SSD, and the eight Performance core i7 14650HX calling the CPU shots. Plus, it's the 115 W variant, which means it should have plenty of juice at its disposal to make the most of the screen. Budget RTX 50-series machines on discount already? Yes please.

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.

Continuing on the RTX 50-series laptop discount train, how about this RTX 5070 machine for the same sort of price you'll find many RTX 4070 laptops at the moment? Sure, it's only got a 1200p screen, but that just means that mobile GPU shouldn't struggle making the most of the 165 Hz refresh rate, particularly when Multi Frame Generation is thrown into the mix. Again, it's got 32 GB of RAM, which makes a real change at this price point from the many, many 16 GB laptops we were finding up until recently. A very tidy gaming laptop for the cash, and one I'm eyeing with my personal funds.

With a 140 W RTX 5070 Ti and an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX at its heart, this 16-inch lappy is a pretty powerful one for the price. It even manages to come in cheaper than some RTX 5070 choices out there—with a lot more RGB flair, if that's your sort of thing. The refresh rate of 165 Hz is solid, and the 16 GB of RAM is... well, it's just okay. However, it's easily upgradable up to 64 GB, and the 1200p screen means the GPU will be given free rein to munch through your games.

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, a 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, a regular feature on these pages at points, 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.

If the RTX 5080-equipped machine above doesn't quite do it for you in the "my car's faster than yours" stakes, how about this Intel-chipped RTX 5090 model? You're unlikely to get a huge jump in performance out of this lappy compared to the one above, but an RTX 5090 machine for $3,000 is worth talking about, which says a fair bit for top-end RTX 50-series pricing at the moment. It's about as cheap as you'll find the most powerful Nvidia mobile GPU right now, though.

With a 14-inch form factor and a 100 W variant of the RTX 4060 onboard, I reckon this machine would make a great little budget travel companion. Sure, the chassis isn't the most premium, and it's only got a 1200p screen, but it still makes a good match for this particular GPU. And the eight-core processor is no slouch, either. It's a shame about the SSD size, but you can't have everything for this sorta cash—and it's simple enough to upgrade later on.

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 £1,300.

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.

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 started 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.
