3 amazing RTX 4080 gaming laptop deals: Save over $500 on MSI, Asus, and Alienware!
Skip the RTX 50-series and save hundreds on a top-tier gaming laptop
Nvidia's brand-new RTX 50-series graphics cards were just unveiled at CES 2025... which is exactly why right now is the perfect time to buy an RTX 40-series gaming laptop. Hear me out.
As Laptop Mag editor Rami Tabari said ahead of the RTX 50-series launch, a new series of GPUs means the previous generation, the RTX 40-series, will receive massive price cuts. These GPUs still offer more than enough power for most gamers, especially the RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. The RTX 40-series GPUs may even get the new DLSS 4 feature that launched this month with the 50-series.
If you're in the market for a new gaming laptop, especially if you're on a budget, an RTX 4080 gaming laptop is the way to go right now. So, I hand-picked these 3 top deals on RTX 4080 gaming laptops.
For example, the Editor's Choice MSI Vector 16 HX is $300 off right now at B&H Photo! This is one of our top-rated RTX 40-series gaming laptops and received high praise for its stellar display and solid battery life.
