Today's best Presidents Day gaming laptop deals
Acer Nitro 5 15.6-inch GTX 1650 gaming laptop | $779.99 $679.99 at Best Buy
Save $100 - If you're after a particularly cheap budget buy, this Acer Nitro 5 is looking particularly promising in this weekend's Presidents Day sales. You're getting a solid starter spec for the price here, with an 11th generation i5 processor at the helm, a still capable GTX 1650 graphics card, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of SSD storage space.
Gigabyte G5 15.6-inch RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop | Dying Light 2 | $1,199 $849 (with $150 rebate) at Newegg
Save $350 - However, if you're looking to jump on the latest generation of Nvidia RTX graphics, we'd recommend heading over to Newegg. The Gigabyte G5 is available for just $849 (after a $150 rebate) right now - pretty impressive considering there's a boosted RTX 3050 Ti graphics card and 16GB RAM inside. Plus, you're even getting Dying Light 2 for free as well.
Alienware M15 R6 15.6-inch RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop | $1,399.99 $1,099.99 at Dell
Save $300 - Alienware gaming laptops rarely drop this cheap, so if you're after a starter configuration but don't want to cheap out on your chassis, we'd certainly recommend checking out this $300 discount. You're getting an RTX 3050Ti GPU under the hood, with an i7-11800H processor. You are, however, dropping down to 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD to make room in that price point.
HP Omen 17.3-inch RTX 3060 gaming laptop | $1,429.99 $1,199.99 at HP
Save $230 - This massive 17.3-inch HP Omen has dropped down to $1,199.99 in HP's Presidents Day sale. That's a particularly strong price considering there's an RTX 3060 GPU and 16GB RAM on offer here, as well as that larger display.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 14-inch RTX 3060 gaming laptop | $1,549.99 $1,249.99 at Best Buy
Save $300 - The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is perfect for anyone after a low-profile design. That 14-inch machine offers up some premium components in that Ryzen 9 processor and 1TB SSD but still manages to keep this RTX 3060 configuration down below $1,250. That's all thanks to the $300 discount you'll find at Best Buy right now, of course.
Alienware M15 R5 15.6-inch RTX 3070 gaming laptop | $2,099.99 $1,549.99 at Dell
Save $550 - The Alienware M15 R5 is a particularly premium machine, so packing it with a Ryzen 7 5800H processor and RTX 3070 GPU is usually a bank-busting affair. Dell has dropped this powerful rig down to just $1,549.99 in this week's Presidents Day sales - a great price considering the luxury experience on offer here.
Razer Blade Stealth 13 13.3-inch GTX 1650 Ti OLED gaming laptop | $1,999.99 $1,599.99 at Microsoft
Save $400 - This Razer Blade is likely a more niche Presidents Day gaming laptop deal, but if you're after a luxurious smaller device with the graphical guts to play some solid games in 1080p it's well worth a look. The OLED Razer Blade is a particularly high-end chassis, and with an i7-1165G7 processor and 16GB RAM, you're still putting plenty of power behind that GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics card.
MSI GS66 Stealth 15.6-inch RTX 3080 gaming laptop | $2,899 $1,849 (with $250 rebate) at Newegg
Save $1,050 - This MSI Stealth is one of the cheapest ways to pick up an RTX 3080 GPU right now. At $1,849, this powerful rig is just $50 more than the cheapest price we've seen on a machine of this scale. Under the hood, you'll find an i7-11800H processor with 16GB RAM supporting it, and a 1TB SSD.
