Mid-November's early Black Friday gaming laptop deals jump-start the holiday shopping season with fantastic discounts. If you're looking for a price break, Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to buy a gaming laptop.

That said, Black Friday gaming laptop deals are now live at several retailers though Black Friday isn't until Nov. 29.

I'm seeing the lowest prices ever on select gaming-specific machines by Acer, Alienware, Asus, Dell, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Razer. Additionally, retailers are backing their deals with holiday price guarantees through Dec. 24 and extended return windows through Jan. 2025.

One example is the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 with RTX 4070 for $1,349 ($350 off) at Best Buy. In our review, we rate it 4 out of 5 stars for its best-in-class productivity performance, bright, colorful screen, and sturdy build.

If you have room to splurge on an RTX 4080 gaming laptop, I recommend the Intel i9-powered Acer Predator Helios 18 for $1,999 ($500 off). Among the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals under $700 is the Asus TUF Gaming A16 with Radeon RX7700S graphics for $699 ($400 off).

So if you don't want to wait, Black Friday-worthy gaming laptop deals are up for grabs today at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. PC makers Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer also offer direct discounts on gaming laptops.

This is my sixth year covering Black Friday and the gaming laptop deals I'm seeing now don't get any better than this. Here are the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals you can get now.
