October Prime Day gaming laptop deals: Alienware M16 R2 and Acer Nitro V at new record lows
LIVE BLOG: Get the latest news on October Prime Day 2024
Best Buy is typically a much bigger threat than Amazon when it comes to laptop deals, including gaming ones. But during any Prime event, like Prime Big Deal Days (happening Oct. 8 and 9), there are definitely a few solid options to choose from. These include several Acer Nitro models and our favorite overall gaming laptop, the Alienware M16 R2, down to a new record-low price according to Amazon price history tracker Camelcamelcamel.
We'll be tracking the best gaming laptop deals at Amazon throughout the end of October Prime Day, though we'd definitely recommend taking a peek at Best Buy's conveniently-timed 48-hour Flash Sale before making your final move on your gaming laptop purchase.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it
"The Nitro 16 is a big-screened budget gaming laptop that's equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS CPU from early 2023, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics, a flashy RGB backlit keyboard, and a 165Hz display. Its measly 8GB of memory is a drawback, but that's totally workable if you only plan on playing lower-end games like Fortnite and Minecraft. (Otherwise, you can put your savings towards a memory upgrade.)" — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter
