Cyber Monday has picked up where Black Friday left off, and that means there's a sizable list of gaming laptops on sale that we can comfortably recommend.
It doesn't matter if you're a newcomer to PC gaming or a grizzled veteran — there's a new gaming laptop with the NVIDIA RTX hardware you need at the right price this Cyber Monday.
Update December 1, 10:14 PM ET — I verified prices to ensure that these gaming laptops are still discounted for Cyber Monday. I also removed a deal that is no longer available. — Rebecca Spear, Gaming Editor

Buying advice / FAQ
When was Black Friday 2025?
Black Friday landed on Friday, November 28 in 2025, though its related discounts weren't restricted to the official day itself. Black Friday as an event started earlier in the week across multiple retailers, and continues to apply across the weekend.
What day is Cyber Monday 2025?
Cyber Monday starts on Monday, December 1, 2025, but, as with Black Friday, it has already begun appearing as the theme for deals at certain retailers. While its discounts are generally restricted to the day itself, some deals may extend into Tuesday and beyond.
When does Cyber Monday start on Amazon?
Cyber Monday has already started on Amazon US, with its promotional messaging shifting away from Black Friday in the early hours of Saturday morning, on November 29, 2025, and is expected to last until the end of Monday, December 1, 2025.
Is price the most important part of buying a gaming laptop?
It might be tempting to nab the cheapest gaming laptop possible, but an attractive price tag doesn't necessarily mean it's a great deal.
Some discounted PCs might be older models that struggle to keep up with your favorite games, or they might be missing a crucial feature that you need for everyday use.
Finding a discounted laptop with the latest hardware from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA isn't too difficult, if you know where to look. And if you'd rather not scour the internet, you can leave it up to us to find the best deals on gaming laptops.
How much RAM and storage do you need in 2025?
For gamers, the minimum amount of RAM I suggest is 16GB. For high-performance systems that run demanding titles, 32GB should be the sweet spot.
In terms of VRAM, an 8GB GPU is a bit of a contentious subject. It's enough to handle most games, albeit with in-game settings turned down and upscaling enabled. But if you want to make your games look as good as possible, a GPU with 12GB or more of VRAM will do the trick.
More is always better when it comes to storage. SSDs fill up quickly with games — believe me, I know. Gaming laptops usually let you get inside to upgrade the SSD; if you're comfortable with that, you can buy less storage at checkout and perform the swap yourself. Otherwise, try to get as much storage as possible from the factory.
What display resolution is best?
Most laptop brands try to balance performance hardware and display, but that doesn't mean you won't sometimes come across skewed specs.
When it comes to display resolution in your laptop, you should consider the size of the screen. A larger screen, say between 16 and 18 inches, might not be crisp enough for your liking if it has a 1080p resolution. On the other hand, you might find that 1440p is overkill for a 14-inch gaming laptop. Finding a happy medium is crucial.
Then there's performance to consider. The higher the display resolution, the more your PC will have to work. If you plan on playing competitive titles, try to focus on a higher refresh rate for smoother action.
And if you're only interested in lightweight indie games, you can always get a higher resolution without really worrying about performance issues.
Is Cyber Monday a better time than Black Friday to buy a new gaming laptop?
Although some of the killer gaming laptop deals disappeared after Black Friday, the vast majority have continued their discounts into Cyber Monday. There are also several new gaming laptop deals that have appeared specifically for Cyber Monday.
Bottom line? You get an awesome gaming laptop for a stellar price on Cyber Monday.
