Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals offer your last shot at a serious discount on some of the year's biggest releases, and 2025 is set to be no different.
This year's new roster of RTX 50-Series, OLED-toting machines have already started to see their prices fall since release and I'm expecting even bigger things come the holiday season. Of course, the absolute biggest sales are going to be reserved for Black Friday gaming laptop deals, but if you do sleep through the main event there's usually plenty to choose from after the weekend.
With the RTX 40-Series holdings its pricing firmly, and many of the best gaming laptops of yore off the shelves now, it's going to be all eyes on the new generation. Well, most eyes.
This is last year's models' last chance to shine, to I'm watching out for the heavy hitters at the top and bottom of the price range. You'll find everything I expect to see from this year's Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals just below.
What to expect from Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals in 2025
New RTX 50-Series gaming laptops have been a lot more lenient in their pricing in recent months, which means Cyber Monday could well be the perfect time to upgrade your GPU. RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 configurations are likely to offer the best value, while RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 models will see the heftiest discounts.
There are going to be plenty of cheap Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals on offer this year. Because they tend to be good all-rounders in terms of specs (if somewhat middle-of-the-road), we'd recommend giving them a look should you need a budget option. They might not offer the brightest screens or most portable form factors, but many are fitted with an RTX 4050 or RTX 4060 card which can net you solid performance for under $800 / £800 when on sale.
It's always worth keeping an eye out for more expensive brands as well. Razer laptops like the 2025 Razer Blade 16 or Alienware laptops such as the Alienware 16 Area-51 will be some of the most tempting options from this year's releases if and when they move into more affordable territory. Razer's range of Blade laptops in particular are fantastic, but they're often far from an everyday player's price range outside of major sales events.
If you're after something at the top of the range, I'm expecting high-flyers like the HP Omen Max 16 to offer up some new record low prices. This powerful speedster has ruled the roost year-round, offering fantastic benchmarks, an excellent range of configuration options, and a luxury chassis.
Shooting straight down the middle, though, I'd recommend keeping a very close eye on the 2025 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. This is a fantastic machine - my favorite 14-incher overall - and it's primed to take some serious discounts in 2025. Last year we saw an RTX 4060 configuration drop to just $1,099 over Black Friday, only nudging slightly back up the price scale to $1,199 in Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals. Considering this is such a popular gaming laptop that does well during these annual sales every year we're holding out for some similar discounts in the US.

Is it better to buy a gaming laptop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
If you are waiting for the big sale, we'd recommend jumping in on Black Friday. Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals can still offer a nice saving but they often don't perform at the same level as Black Friday itself. This is a sale for those who missed out, or didn't quite find what they were looking for the first time around - we generally don't see waves of new discounts hitting the shelves.
Some models may reduce a little in price over the weekend, if retailers had higher hopes or if a price-match war breaks out but this is quite rare. We'd recommend against holding out for Monday, though - you're far more likely to find a particularly strong offer during the main event.
