Gaming laptop deals are already revving up ahead of this year's Black Friday sale, which means we're seeing some of the year's best prices on the shelves already. However, Newegg's latest offer on the Gigabyte A5 K1 stopped us dead in our tracks this morning. 

You can pick up this RTX 3060 configuration for just $729 (was $1,199) at Newegg right now. That's a full $470 off, with some stunning value packed in. We can't remember ever seeing gaming laptop deals packing such a GPU into this low of a price tag, and certainly not with 16GB RAM included. We previously saw this offer sat at $799 earlier in the year, and were celebrating then. 

Not only that, but early Black Friday Newegg deals also come with a price protection guarantee as well, which means you'll receive a refund should this model get even cheaper over the course of the sale. Considering this is already one of the lowest prices we've ever seen on such a configuration, we don't expect these numbers to drop any further in later Black Friday gaming laptop deals. RTX 3060 machines are generally priced between $900 and $1,200 when on sale, and even then you're likely to only receive 8GB RAM. 

We'd certainly move fast here, though. We've already seen plenty of this retailer's Black Friday deals running off the shelves, and this is a particularly strong offer. You'll find more information about this discount just below, and plenty more gaming laptop deals further down the page.
