Prime Day gaming laptop deals are here for a second wave of discounts today, and we're scouring the Big Deal Days event for all the hottest savings on the shelves. Today's discounts will only run until midnight, so it's time to get down to business - that clock is ticking.
So far we've seen some fantastic prices on everything from budget RTX 3060 machines all the way up to RTX 4080 monsters. That means there's some fantastic value up for grabs no matter your budget. We have, however, seen some of the more lucrative savings run off the shelves since the sale started yesterday so if you spot a price you like it's well worth jumping in.
With RTX 40-Series rigs taking a few more months to bed in, and November's discounts just around the corner, it's no wonder we're seeing some particularly strong Prime Day gaming laptop deals here. Now that brands have released their entry level configurations and top-tier models have started seeing discounts of their own, things are looking pretty good for this fall sale.
We've had our hands on some of the best gaming laptops on the market, and we constantly watch out for gaming laptop deals across the web - in other words, we know a good offer when we see one. As such, you'll find only the heaviest discounts and highest-value savings below. The PC sphere is often one of the best served in Prime Day gaming deals, and that's looking to be the same so far.

FAQ
When will October Prime Day gaming laptop deals end?
We're in the final day of Prime Day gaming laptop deals now. Amazon's Big Deal Days event will officially come to a close at midnight tonight (October 11). If you do miss out on a particularly special offer though, it's worth remembering that Black Friday gaming laptop deals are coming up next month and we're sure to see some excellent offers on the shelves then.
Do I need a Prime Membership to access Prime Day gaming laptop deals?
In order to make the most of the Prime Day gaming laptop deals, you'll need to have an Amazon Prime membership. Fortunately, there's a free trial available in both the US and UK for you to give the service a try risk-free ahead of the event. Through it, you'll have access to not only next-day delivery but also the company's coveted video service.
What's important to state, though, is that many other retailers will be vying for some attention of their own, as we generally see storefronts such as Dell, Walmart, and Best Buy (US) as well as Currys, Laptops Direct, Box and Argos (UK) getting in on the gaming laptop deals action.
What to expect from Prime Day gaming laptop deals in October
We're anticipating big things from this year's fall sale. After some record low prices hit the shelves in June we're keeping a close eye on the Razer Blade 15, Alienware M16, and Acer Predator Helios 16 over the next few weeks, though the later date of this sale could also spell good things for other rigs as well. After all, this is a time of year when even the latest and greatest gaming laptops can take drastic price cuts. June's offers dropped an RTX 3060 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 down to an excellent $799.99 (we usually only see those costs dip to $899.99), but we're holding out for a discount on the newer Zephyrus G14 (2023) in October. Just that little extra time on the shelf can make all the difference, and this is the time of year we'd usually see these incredibly popular machines shaving hundreds off their price tags. An RTX 4060 model comes in at $1,599.99 today, but we're hoping for a cost closer to $1,299.99 come October.
If you're after something a little larger we'd recommend keeping a close eye on the Alienware M18 or Asus ROG Strix Scar 18. These machines mean business, but they carry the price tags to match. If you're looking to spend a little less, the Alienware is going to be your best bet. While we don't see too many discounts on this newer release day to day, the $1,699.99 starting price is primed to dip to around $1,499.99 come the fall sale. Meanwhile the Scar 18, the most powerful gaming laptop we've tested yet, will likely stay in the $2,000 arena. At MSRP you can pick up an RTX 4080 model for $2,499.99 - a cost that could, if we're lucky, take a journey down to $2,199 or $2,099.
At the budget end of the spectrum we'd recommend keeping a close eye on RTX 4060 prices. Yes, RTX 30-Series machines like the Asus TUF Dash F15 and Acer Nitro 5 are going to be seeing some particularly low prices this year thanks to newer hardware taking over. However, the value of upgrading to the latest components far outweighs the costs saved - especially considering we're starting to see prices landing in similar territories between the two generations.
We're also getting you prepped for this year's Prime Day gaming PC deals and Prime Day monitor deals to get your setup sorted this summer. Or, take a look at everything we expect from Prime Day PS5 deals and Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals if you're going down the console route.
