Everyone wants to talk about the MacBook Neo, unless you're talking AAA gaming, as its measly 8GB RAM and other entry-level specs were never designed to run graphics-card-hungry AAA titles (though our friends at Tech Radar discovered that Mac-optimized games can surprisingly run decently at the lowest settings).

Fortunately, several of our favorite gaming laptops with far superior specs designed for PC gaming, like increasingly expensive RTX 5000 graphics, 32GB of RAM, 1GB of storage, OLED displays, and more, have gone on sale thanks to Best Buy's Tech Fest, and we've rounded up the best deals for your perusal.
