Getting into PC gaming can be an expensive hobby. You have to buy a bunch of components, accessories, and more to even get to a beginner level, which can be super inaccessible to a large swath of people.

But one way you can lighten the load is to just start with a gaming laptop, which packs in everything you need to get started in PC gaming without all the extra pieces. Of course, gaming laptops can be expensive, too, but plenty of budget options also exist.

The best tech deal this week

The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is free right now with T-Mobile

Thankfully, Amazon's Prime Day sale has triggered plenty of gaming laptop deals across the price spectrum this week. That even includes a handful of models with new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series graphic cards starting at $1,275. Read on to see our favorite deals from the sale, but know that they probably won't be live for much longer: Prime Day 2025 ends at midnight tonight, Friday, July 11. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price, while struck-through deals were sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

If you're dead-set on getting one of the newer RTX 50 series laptops, this 16-inch Asus ROG Strix G16 is going to be one of the best discounts you find during Amazon Prime Day 2025. It features a high-end Intel Arrow Lake processor, RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, a full terabyte of storage, and a 240Hz display. It sits at the cutting edge of gaming laptop performance, packing in features like intelligent cooling, full-surround RGB, and three free months of PC gaming, among others. Pick one up at its record-low Prime Day price and save $500.
