Best Buy has outdone itself with this season's spring savings. This week, the big box electronics retailer is slashing up to $500 off select gaming laptops.

Prices range from $499 to $1,825 to accomodate every buget and are mostly discounts on RTX 40 laptops.

My absolute favorite standout deal is the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 with RTX 4070 GPU for $1,499 ($500 off). This is the lowest ever price I've seen yet for this paricular gaming laptop.

It's also one of the best gaming laptop deals I've seen outside of big end-of-year sales during the holidays.
