Best Memorial Day gaming laptop deals 2023
When will Memorial Day gaming laptop deals start?
Like every year, Memorial Day 2023 will take place on the last Monday of May. This time that's May 29th, 2023. The majority of Memorial Day gaming laptop deals will happen on the Monday itself, however, lots of sales will kick off in the days preceding, such as the weekend. Some deals carry over a couple of days afterward, while some deals end at midnight on Monday. Either way, it's worth checking online from Saturday, May 27th, 2023.
What to look out for in Memorial Day gaming laptop deals
Memorial Day gaming laptop deals are set to offer some solid savings with every retailer, be that big or small, getting on the action. We're hoping to see some of the first major discounts for the RTX 40-series machines, so definitely keep an eye on them. Likewise, we're hoping for even deeper cuts on the high-end RTX 30-Series machines, such as the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 machines, as well as lots of budget models for those that are happy to play at 1080p.
Amazon is always one of the best to check, regularly reducing the prices of machines down to new record lows. We then compare this with specialist software to confirm when it's reached its cheapest cost yet. Best Buy also runs lots of daily deals and clearance sales, offering plenty of bargains. Then the direct manufacturers like Dell, Razer, and HP can put up plenty of incentives from buying through them directly. See below for a list of retailers worth checking throughout Memorial Day 2023.
Amazon: regular record low prices
Best Buy: daily deals and clearance sales
Dell: Alienware models starting from $999.99
HP: students can save up to 40%
Lenovo: get 3 months of Xbox Game Pass with purchase
Walmart: budget gaming laptops from $599
Newegg: clearance savings on select laptops and gaming notebooks
When will Memorial Day gaming laptop deals end?
We expect to see Memorial Day gaming laptop deals closing out at midnight on Monday, May 29th. That said, a lot of retailers will keep a few offers live until as late as the Wednesday (May 31st) after Memorial Day. If you see a great deal early, we always recommend jumping on it as while the deal might last for a few more days, stock may sell out, effectively ending the deal ahead of time.
What to expect from the best Memorial Day gaming laptop deals 2023
The best Memorial Day gaming laptop deals might not be the most obvious time of the year to walk away with a bargain but you'll be surprised at what you can get. Even taking into account the likes of Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day and Cyber Monday, we occasionally see some deals that top the lot on Memorial Day. Specifically, it's great for last year's models as the biggest brands have begun to showcase what we can expect from them in 2023, therefore, major reductions on gaming laptops from 2022.
Last year we saw the likes of the MSI GF63 Thin GTX 1650 gaming laptop drop to below $600, the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 with an RTX 3060 fall from $1,500 to $1,099, as well as the Dell G15 with an RTX 3050 drop all the way from over a grand to under $600. We expect similar price drops, if not bigger for these brands with anyone looking to get a budget model for close to $500 hopefully in look.
We're hoping that there might be some RTX-40 series laptops getting some extra incentives (like a game or Xbox Game Pass subscription) thrown in too, if no price cuts become available. Naturally, the RTX-30 series is where you'll want to look for the best value for money with more RTX-3070 gaming laptops getting closer to that $1,000 mark. We've recently seen some great deals pushing them below $1,200 so Memorial Day could be the time for them to hit that sweet spot.
Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg are usually the best places to go in our experience for great budget deals. Many of these will be live ahead of the big day itself, with everything from Alienware and Acer to Razer and MSI expected to be present. Whatever you're looking for, there's a good chance it'll be cheaper during Memorial Day.
