Need a portable that can handle all of your favorite games? We've got massive savings on the best gaming laptops.

Early Amazon Prime Day laptop deals are already live ahead of the retailer's massive two-day fall sale. Right now, you can save on everything from super cheap Chromebooks to high-end Windows Ultrabooks with excellent price cuts across a wide range of machines. Put simply, it's a great time to be shopping for a brand-new laptop.

Not all gaming laptop deals are built the same - and you can easily cheapen your way out of a playable system by shopping in the budget category and not paying attention to your spec sheet. While this most frequently happens with older RTX 3050 systems these days, it's more often the RAM that you need to watch out for.
