Best Black Friday gaming laptop deals

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14
The Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 (opens in new tab) is a game-changing laptop that delivers unparalleled levels of performance despite being compact and light. Its use of AMD's Ryzen 4000 processors paired with Nvidia's RTX 2060 GPU makes for superb gaming results. The design is smart, with a dropped hinge screen and AniME Matrix LED display radiating a futuristic aesthetic that's highly portable. Asus' quad-speaker system that is Dolby Atmos-enabled means the audio is remarkable for a laptop, and its battery runs forever. 

Dell G15 gaming laptop
The Dell G15 (opens in new tab) offers similar power to its Alienware models, without the flashy appearance. This is a machine for those who like to work and play on the same laptop. The latest model features 11th gen Intel core processors, Nvidia graphics and spectacular screen quality. 

Acer Nitro 5
The best budget gaming laptop, the Acer Nitro 5 (opens in new tab) is among the lowest-specced systems that still deliver a great experience. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 onboard means that you're able to run today's best PC games at medium to high settings without seeing your framerate plunge. Meanwhile, the system's 256GB isn't the biggest, but is an NVMe SSD, meaning that it is very fast and loads games quickly. The Intel Core i7-9750H (hexa-core) processor ensures the system can crunch through any light or medium computing task with ease, too, while a battery capable of delivering 8 hours of run time on a single charge means that you've got genuine portability as well.

Gigabyte Aorus 15G RTX 30 Series
If you want the very best in terms of graphics capabilities, then check out the Aorus 15G (opens in new tab) model from Gigabyte. As always, there are a variety of configurations and spec choices available. Besides the wealth of power you get inside the laptop, you also get some very polished styling on the outside. The 15.6-inch, 240Hz FHD panel looks great in operation, and while there are a few annoyances – such as the limited battery life and the positioning of the webcam – this is a laptop that is thoroughly and happily recommended. 

Alienware M15 R3
There's something about Alienware that says gaming; you know the true purpose of the machine is to crank the resolution up as high as possible and watch as the FPS doesn't drop an inch. The R3 models showcase this philosophy perfectly. From the huge array of ports – including Ethernet, Thunderbolt and HDMI – to the customizable keyboard and controls, this laptop has you covered, and then some. The cooling system has been specially designed to deal with the most demanding tasks, too, ensuring you get every ounce of performance you need. It really doesn't get much better than this.

Alienware X15
The Alienware x15 is the company's thinnest gaming laptop ever made, making gaming on the go, easier than ever. It still features an impressive spec list though, with 11th gen Intel core i7 processor, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070 graphics and a 360Hz 15.6-inch display.
