Cheap gaming laptop deals are the best way to get into PC gaming for less. Whether you’ve got your heart set on a budget machine for casual experiences, or looking to get one of the best gaming laptops at reduced rates, we’re seeing discounts hitting the full range right now.
We’ve capped our search for cheap gaming laptop deals at a budget of $2,000 / £2,000, and split our findings for those true bargain hunters (under $1,000) and those looking to add a little extra value to their price tag. If you’re on the hunt for gaming laptop deals under $1,000, you’ll be browsing GTX and budget RTX cards like the 3050, 3050Ti, and the odd 3060, with 8-16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD storage.
Moving further into the $1,000 / £1,000 price category, though, and the lucky among us will find more budget gaming laptops with RTX 3070 cards – while we’ve even seen cheap RTX 3080 machines hitting under $2,000 / £2,000 as well. We’d aim for no less than 16GB RAM when browsing gaming laptop deals in this bracket, and you’ll be able to grab between 512GB and 1TB of storage as well.
You’ll find all our top picks for this week’s best cheap gaming laptop deals just below, but if you’re after something more permanent we’d also recommend checking out all the latest cheap gaming PC deals.
