Black Friday gaming laptop deals 2025: The best discounts on laptops at every size and power level

It's near impossible to find RTX 5060 laptops for under $1,000 at the moment, but this Victus machine squeaks under the line by a single cent. It's an 80 W variant of Nvidia's second-from-bottom GPU, but given this machine has a 1080p screen, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. The SSD is small, and you're stuck with DDR4 RAM, but it's about as cheap as RTX 5060 machines go right now if you're budget won't stretch beyond this point.

This is a pretty appealing price for a capable 16-inch gaming laptop with a modern GPU. Sure, it's an RTX 5050, which needs to be affordable to be worthwhile, but this Acer Nitro V 16 AI is certainly that. It has a good screen for the money, too. A 180 Hz, 1200p IPS. Oh, and while the storage capacity isn't great, there's space for another drive under the hood.

Gigabyte's budget gaming laptops are creeping into the discount range once more, and it's good to see them back. This one's got a decent set of components for the price, including an 85 W variant of the RTX 5060. That puts it on the lower-powered side of things, as we found in our review, but at least it can take advantage of Multi Frame Gen and DLSS 4. Plus, a 1200p screen is a good match for this particular GPU, and its 165 Hz refresh rate is plenty nippy. It might not be mega-powered, but it's got the sort of specs that make it a very well-rounded laptop for all sorts of tasks, especially as you're getting 32 GB of RAM and a good-sized SSD thrown into the bargain.

Boo, boo to the 512 GB SSD. Still, it's one of the easiest things to upgrade on any gaming laptop, and this one provides you with a lovely OLED display, which is rare to see on a laptop at this price. The RTX 5060 might be one of Nvidia's lower-stack mobile GPUs, but DLSS and Frame Gen will be the great equaliser here to make the most of that 1600p panel. Lenovo makes some excellent gaming laptops, and this one gives you a fair bit of bang for your buck for the money.

With a 110 W version of the older, yet still very capable RTX 4070, with wee Acer has plenty of grunt about it, and that 120 Hz refresh 1600p panel will make a really crisp screen for a 14-inch laptop. You're also getting a full 1 TB SSD alongside your 16 GB of soldered memory (no upgrades happening there) and a decent Meteor Lake CPU at its heart. It's one of Intel's more efficient chips, with six Performance and eight Efficient cores, which ought to help with the battery life of this portable machine.

Another Gigabyte gaming lappy, another good price. We've been very impressed by the design of this laptop, and while the RTX 5060 variant is a touch underpowered (although a good machine if you can find it for the right price), this 85 W RTX 5070-equipped machine is much more like it, even with the juice turned down a little. Like the RTX 5060 version above, you get a six Performance core, four Efficient Intel chip, 32 GB of DDR5, and a decently-sized SSD thrown into the bargain. Pretty good going for the cash, I reckon.

I reckon this Gigabyte machine is a fairly handsome beast, and although the price has jumped around a lot recently, it's a still a very good deal on an RTX 5070 machine. It might be an 85 W variant, but DLSS 4 and Nvidia's AI doohickies should make up a fair bit of the difference when pushing that 1600p panel. 32 GB of DDR5 is nice to see, and it looks like there's plenty of upgrade potential here too, should you wish to up the RAM or cram in a bigger SSD.

If you prefer your gaming laptops on the larger side, how about this Asus TUF A18? It's got a massive 18-inch 1600p 240 Hz panel, which should make your games look absolutely brilliant. It's got a 115 W variant of the RTX 5070, which is a pretty good mobile GPU but will still need a DLSS helping hand to make the most of that display. Still, it's a whole lot of gaming laptop for the cash, and one for those who don't plan on hauling it around too regularly.

Hang on, I hear you say. What's an RTX 5060 gaming laptop doing here at this price? Well, this is a super-slim and portable 14-inch lappy, and while the hardware inside isn't the most powerful you can get for the cash, the fact you can easily slip it in a shoulder bag is pretty impressive. Dollars to donuts its a low-wattage RTX 5060 variant, and the 1800p panel means you'll absolutely need to make use of DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation to make the most of its 120 Hz refresh rate, but still—hyper portable laptops come with caveats, and this is still a good machine for the price. Plus, an OLED display? Yes please.

Sitting somewhere under the RTX 4080 and well above the RTX 4070 in terms of gaming performance, the RTX 5070 Ti is a great mid-range laptop GPU. Our Dave tested the Vector 16 HX AI for weeks, and came away very impressed with the RTX 5080 version, and the RTX 5070 Ti version promises much of the same. The 1200p IPS screen is a good match for the GPU and CPU, which is of 20-core Intel stock, and while I'd like to see more RAM, it's a very easy upgrade to perform. I'd also like to see a bigger SSD. Still, for under $1,500, this one has to go in prime position, as an SSD is an easy thing to upgrade at a later date.

I know, I know, it's still a lot of cash. But the truth is, it's difficult to find most RTX 5080 laptops for anything close to $2,000 right now, so this one actually represents pretty stunning value. Our Dave has been playing with this particular model recently and likes the value proposition you get when you take into account that mega GPU, although it is a bit of a hairdryer on full whack. Still, stick it in Balanced mode and the noise is much more reasonable, and it still performs about as well as the other RTX 5080 machines we've tested. Which is to say, very well indeed.

Our Dave's absolute favorite Razer gaming laptop isn't quite as cheap as we've found it for recently, but this is still a great price on a fantastic machine. In his Blade 14 review he said it's "a huge improvement over last year's model, and there's now no other gaming laptop I'd want to have my digits on or spend my money on." And he stands by that. I've asked him, and everything. It's incredibly portable, gorgeous to behold, and pretty much the most desirable lappy on the planet right now. How's that for a deal?

It's still a bit of a teeth-clencher on the price front, but this HP machine gets you a 240 Hz 1600p OLED panel in combination with a max-wattage RTX 5080, and that's a very good place to be. Plus, it's all wrapped up in a slim and stylish chassis, with a firebreather of a 24-core CPU, 32 GB of RAM, and even a 2 TB SDD thrown in to the bargain. Okay, bargain might be a bit much, but this is still a good deal given the sheer quality of the components involved.

Okay, the Steam Deck may have had an OLED refresh and there are heaps of more powerful handhelds around, but the original version is still the archetype of what a mobile PC gaming device should be. It's just as powerful as the OLED model, so all those Steam Deck compatible games should run well. It's the OG PC gaming handheld, and it still demands respect, although this particular version does have quite a small SSD. Replacing it later with a larger unit is no great hassle, however.

Our new favorite gaming handheld might not have a discount right now, but it's still the best you can get thanks to its magnificent SteamOS integration. That's one of the best things about the Steam Deck, too, but here you're getting much more powerful hardware and a supremely comfortable chassis that makes the Legion Go S SteamOS an absolute delight to game on.

Most RTX 5060 machines have yet to be hit by the heavy deals stick in the UK, but this one has a decent smattering of specs for a low price. It's a 75 W variant of the RTX 5060, which isn't exactly turbocharged, but with some DLSS help it shouldn't have much trouble with a 1080p display, and the refresh rate is nice and speedy to make the most of Multi Frame Generation, too. Plus, a 1 TB SSD in a budget gaming laptop: Heavens be praised!

Lenovo gaming laptops often make for excellent machines, and this one looks to be no exception. It's got that familiar "take it to a meeting without laughter" chassis design, a 115 W RTX 5070, and a punchy 14-core (six Performance, eight Efficient) Intel chip, in combination with a generous amount of RAM and a decently-sized SSD. And the cherry on top? A speedy OLED display, all for an excellent price. I'd be more than happy to rock one of these as my main gaming machine, and so would you, I'd wager.

If you like your gaming laptops on the larger side, this Asus TUF 18-inch model is well worth a look. It's got a decently-powerful eight-core, 16-thread AMD CPU, a 115 W RTX 5070, and a sizable screen that should show off your games with aplomb. Sure, it's only 1200p, but that's the sweet spot for keeping your frame rates high without too much DLSS help, and your digital adventures should look lovely regardless.

This HP lappy has a seriously chonky CPU, in combination with a 140 W RTX 5070 and 32 GB of RAM, making it a very well balanced setup. Sure, it's only got a 1200p screen, but that means the GPU should have little issue pumping out plenty of frames, and it all comes wrapped in a very stylish chassis design, too.

This is pretty much the cheapest RTX 5070 Ti laptop you can find in the UK right now, and definitely the best deal overall on something with Nvidia's mid-to-high-end-straddling GPU. It's a well-balanced customer, what with an eight-core 16-thread AMD chip at its heart, 32 GB of RAM, and a 180 Hz 1600p display. It's only a 115 W variant of the RTX 5070 Ti, but that should still make for a mighty mobile chip. It's quite the deal, given the components inside—although I'd imagine the chassis isn't all that given Nitro models previous.

We've been very impressed by the RTX 5080 version of this particular laptop for the value proposition it provides, and the RTX 5070 Ti variant is unlikely to be a slouch, either. While most RTX 50-series lappys are still priced into the stratosphere, this 16-inch machine is a fantastic price for the components you end up receiving. That's apart from the SSD, unfortunately, which is far too small. Still, sticking a 1 TB drive in a laptop is one of the easier hardware tasks you can perform, and the rest of the components are pretty stellar for the cash.

RTX 5080 machines are still eye-wateringly expensive for the most part, but we're big fans of this Vector lappy, especially because of the price. It might not have the prettiest chassis, but it's as fast as a very, very fast thing for a fair bit cheaper than most of the competition—with a speedy 240 Hz IPS panel thrown into the bargain, too. That makes it a genuine value proposition in a laptop market filled with extremely pricey equivalents. A smart buy right now, no doubt, although I'd stick a touch more RAM in it for cheap to really bring it up to mega spec.
