RTX 50-Series gaming laptop deals start at just $799 at Best Buy this Labor Day weekend
RTX 50-Series rigs going for less than I typically see for an RTX 4050

Labor Day is just around the corner and Best Buy is revving its deal engines. There's a massive sale running until September 1, but I've noticed gaming laptops are doing particularly well in this year's event. Not only are RTX 50-Series machines at three-figure prices right now, but I'm also seeing some of the best gaming laptops available taking part as well.
If you're looking to spend as little as possible, I'd send you straight to the RTX 5050 Lenovo LOQ this week. With a $400 discount, that $1,099.99 MSRP has dropped all the way down to $799.99. That's excellent news for anyone after a budget-friendly machine - I don't even see RTX 4050 gaming laptops that cheap these days.
If you're looking to invest a little further up the price scale, the HP Omen Max 16 is my go-to. The RTX 5080 OLED model has plummeted to $2,699.99 on Best Buy's shelves for Labor Day, with a $460 discount from the $3,159.99. There are cheaper configurations on sale as well, but you're often dropping that OLED panel.
