Memorial Day gaming laptop deals are looking a little tougher to find this year, as supply chain issues keep a lot of the 2026 models out of reach and prices on last year's releases looking a little more stubborn than we'd like. That's not to say you can't find some offers that are genuinely worth taking - shopping around older releases, models that prioritize component value over fancy chassis features, and potentially making some sacrifices in your display can save you big bucks this Memorial Day and those are exactly the kind of smart moves I'm prioritizing this year.
I've been tracking discounts on the best gaming laptops for over six years now, and I go hands-on with the latest and greatest releases in between these major sales events. That means I know which specs to look for, in what models and where.
As is tradition, Best Buy is pulling out in front this year. While Lenovo, HP, and Dell would have previously been runner-ups in this race, all three brands are markedly more expensive right now. While Newegg works with a more limited supply of brands, Walmart is pretty plagued by a third party marketplace, and Amazon tends to throw out some bizarre rates, Best Buy is keeping its cool with a sturdy range of budget and premium machines and some solid discounts on them.

FAQ
When will Memorial Day gaming laptop deals start?
Like every year, Memorial Day 2026 will take place on the last Monday of May. This time that's May 25th. The majority of Memorial Day gaming laptop deals will happen on the Monday itself, however, lots of sales will kick off over the weekend, or sometimes even the week, before. Some deals carry over a couple of days afterward, while others end at midnight on Monday.
When will Memorial Day gaming laptop deals end?
We expect to see Memorial Day gaming laptop deals closing out at midnight on Monday, May 25th. That said, a lot of retailers will keep a few offers live until as late as the Wednesday after Memorial Day. If you see a great price early, we always recommend jumping on it - stock may sell out, effectively ending the deal ahead of time.
