If you’ve been quietly waiting all year to finally update your gaming laptop, this Black Friday season is as good of a time as any. Below, you’ll see some of the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals available thus far online, with pricing going from as low as $599 for a VR-ready rig, to as high as over a thousand if you’re looking for machines with a higher-end GPU and CPU combo.
Almost everything below is at their lowest ever price – and unsurprisingly, some of the best deals are actually at third-party retailers such as Walmart and Microsoft Store instead of the manufacturer’s own web store. If you spot a gaming laptop deal that’s noteworthy – let us know and we’ll add it to the list below.
Don’t want to scan or read everything below? Our top pick is the $799 Lenovo Y7000 sporting a Core i7-8750H and a GeForce GTX 1060 with SSD and plenty of RAM. It’ll run everything for well under $1,000. For the budget pick, we’ll go with the $599 Dell G3 which comes with a Core i5-8300H and a GTX 1050 Ti – this will run almost all titles at decent middle-ish settings without breaking the bank.

HP isn’t offering anything groundbreaking this Black Friday season, but their Omen laptops are discounted slightly more than usual (about $50 to $100 cheaper). All machines above will get a free copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 as an added bonus (about a $40 street value as of today). While prices are ok for all the models above, the Omen with the most discount is the $899 model, except this particular config is an older model with slightly different chassis. If you prefer the newer model styling, we’ll go with $799 Omen 15 in stead (which has a GTX 1050 instead of a GTX 1050 Ti).
