If you’re a gamer getting ready to head off to college, then a gaming laptop is a good investment. While usually a little pricier than some cheaper options, a good gaming laptop can easily play all the latest games while lasting you through college.
Right now is a good time to consider picking something up, too, as several of the best retailers are featuring a combination of ‘back to school’ sales and 4th of July specials. The RAM crisis is still affecting laptop prices, but you can still save a chunk by scoring a discount at Best Buy, Dell, Walmart, or other leading retailers. Just below, you can see six deals that I’ve picked out as especially good buys.
Most of today’s highlights come from Best Buy and include this Lenovo LOQ with an RTX 5060 for $1,002 (was $1,499) at Best Buy, this Acer Nitro V with an RTX 5070 for $1,249.99 (was $1,379), and this Acer Predator with an RTX 5070 Ti for $1,899.99 (was $2,199).
While a bit pricey, all three of these offer great bang for your buck if you’re looking for outright performance. The latter in particular is a great buy for those with flush pockets since it features not only a powerful graphics card, but also a high-end OLED display and a great chipset. You can read more about this deal — and others — just down below.
