The best gaming laptop deals this Black Friday
1. Acer Aspire 7: 15.6in, Core i5, GTX 1050, 1TB HDD (was £715, now £599)
This Acer laptop has dropped in price, making it a must-buy for those of us who are on a budget. It features a Full HD 60Hz display, has a GTX 1050 inside, 8GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5-7300HQ and a 1TB HDD drive to store all your favourite games. Grab it before prices go back up.
Alternatively, it’s worth considering the Asus TUF FX504GD, which has near-identical specs, but has a newer (and slightly faster) Core i5-8300H processor, instead. The newer generation chip costs a cool £100 more, bringing the laptop’s price to £700, down from £800.
2. Asus FX503VM-EN184T: 15.6in, Core i5, GTX 1050, 256GB SSD (was £900, now £750)
You can currently save £150 on the sleek Asus gaming laptop. It features an NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, a full HD 120Hz display, a Core i5, 8GB of RAM and a blistering fast 256GB SSD – perfect for loading games.
3. MSI GL73: 17.3in, Core i7, GTX 1050 Ti, 1TB HDD (was £1,100, now £850)
Speaking of Nvidia – here’s a high-grade gaming laptop that’s powered by an IntelCore i7-8750H Processor and whose DDR4-2400 memory cranks up performance by 40% over preceding generations. A nice little discount at Overclocks has brought the price tag down from £1,100 to £850.
4. HP Omen: 15.6in, Core i5, GTX 1060, 1TB HDD (was £949, now £899)
While not quite as big of a saving as other gaming laptops on this list, the HP Omen still offers stonkingly good value for money. A GTX 1060 graphics chip is perfect for the latest games, and its buttery-smooth 144Hz screen allows for high frame rate gaming, too.
5. Acer Predator Helios 300: 15.6in, Core i5, GTX 1060, 1TB HDD (was £1,299, now £1,199)
Top of our list is the Acer Predator Helios 300. Falling under Acer’s well-established Predator brand, the Helios 300 – despite the silly name – not only looks rather swish but is a feature-packed gaming laptop with a massive Full HD, 144Hz screen, Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics and Intel’s new high clock-speed eighth-gen chip.
6. Dell XPS 15: 15.6in, Core i7, GTX 1050 Ti, 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD (was £1,669, now £1,349)
, and we are somewhat surprised to see it on a deal. This laptop is a MacBook Pro beater, and better still you can install all your PC games on it. Inside this beast, you’ll find a Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a GTX 1050 Ti, a Full HD 60Hz IPS display, and a ridiculously quick 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD.
7. Razer Blade Pro 17.3-Inch HD Notebook (was £2,200, now £1,700)
A super-sharp laptop that will have all your gaming needs perfectly covered, compliments of the GeForce GTX 1060 and 17.3-inch full HD display. Its initial price of £2,200 was a little eye-watering, but it’s since dropped to £1,700 at Amazon.
8. Gigabyte Aero 15X: 15.6in 144Hz, Core i7, GTX 1070, 512GB SSD (was £2,199, now £1,779)
Gigabyte’s Aero 15X is a terrific gaming laptop. If you’ve got the funds going spare, there’s simply nothing better; it’s fitted with a 144Hz screen, GeForce GTX 1070 graphics, 16GB of RAM and the latest Intel Core i7 processor. It also looks rather nice, too.
9. Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501: 15.6in 120Hz G-Sync, Core i7, GTX 1070, 512GB SSD (was £2,359, now £1,798)
