While Black Friday is a good time to buy pretty much anything you're looking for, it's especially kind to gamers. From discounts on individual games, consoles, accessories, and more, you're bound to save a ton this holiday season if you're an avid player. That includes gaming laptops, too, which are a fantastic way to dip your toes into the realm of PC gaming if a full desktop situation is too much of a commitment right now.
If you're one of those people eyeing a gaming PC setup in the form of a laptop, take a look at the best Black Friday gaming laptop deals that we've handpicked. Big brands like Razer, Asus, and HP are in there, with options ranging from heavily discounted budget models under $1,000 to sizable price cuts on higher-end options.
Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the Alienware m16 R2.
A Mashable Choice Award winner, Dell's Alienware m16 R2 is a premium 16-inch laptop "that can handle both play and work," said Mashable Tech Editor Kim Gedeon. She gave it a 4.5/5 rating for its awesome performance, its sturdy, "subdued" design that doesn't hang onto fingerprints, its "satisfying" keyboard, and its port selection. She also appreciated its support of Nvidia Advanced Optimus, a feature that lets users switch on its integrated graphics for non-gaming tasks. It's our favorite gaming laptop of 2024 despite its tinny audio and unimpressive battery life (which, to be fair, is to be expected with a machine this powerful).
The exact configuration we tested is currently sold out at Best Buy, having fallen to a record low of $1,299.99 during its Black Friday sale (a $600 discount). But you can get a similar configuration with a better Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU for $1,599.99 on Dell's website, or $500 off. That's still better than the usual list price of our loaner.
