Black Friday is the ideal time to be in the market for a gaming laptop. A powerful machine is typically an expensive investment, which makes Black Friday gaming laptop deals all the more essential. We’ve seen a few attractive deals already, but Newegg may have beaten them all with this offer.
Right now, you can get an MSI GP66 Leopard gaming laptop for $1,799 at Newegg [opens in new tab]. That’s a sizeable $500 off its standard retail price of $2,299 and qualifies it as one of the strongest early Black Friday deals currently available. To get the full discount you will need to take advantage of the $100 rebate offer. This requires you to complete and mail a rebate form, but that's a minor inconvenience.
This gaming laptop deal is one of the cheapest ways to get a coveted Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. The GeForce RTX 30-series GPUs have been in extremely high demand over the last 12 months. For that reason alone, securing a machine powered by one at such a significant discount is not an offer to pass up lightly.
This MSI gaming laptop is plenty capable of taking your gaming sessions up a level. Alongside its high-end graphics card, it’s also packing an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 processor and a 1TB SSD for storing some of the best pc games available. You could argue the supplied 16GB of RAM isn’t quite enough, but for the majority of users it’ll more than suffice — plus, you can always add more if required.
The 15.6-inch display also deserves to be highlighted. As you would expect, it’s capable of running games in 1080p resolution, but it also boasts a refresh rate of 204Hz. If you want to crank your games up to a framerate of more than 200fps the MSI GP66 Leopard’s screen will be able to keep pace, with a few graphics settings tweaks.
These powerful innards come in a slick package [although the bottom bezel could be smaller] with a LED-lit keyboard to boot. This MSI gaming laptop is an excellent machine for anyone looking to take their first steps into the world of PC gaming, or an experienced player looking to upgrade.
With the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 continuing to suffer from stock issues and the global chip shortage refusing to let up, we expect to see Black Friday deals seriously hampered by stock issues this year. So when a Black Friday gaming deal of this quality appears, we strongly recommend taking advantage before it sells out.
The Alienware m15 R4 with RTX 3080 [opens in new tab] graphics just got a massive $810 price cut, which takes its price down to $1,999. That is an impressive saving worthy of the Black Friday moniker.
In this model, Dell pairs the most powerful laptop GPU on the market with a 10th Gen Intel Core i9 processor for a seriously powerful portable gaming rig.

Alienware’s Cryo-tech system keeps all of these high-power components cool with a dual-intake/exhaust airflow design and loads of heat pipes, alongside a massive high voltage fan and a vapor chamber.
Plus, as you can read in our Alienware m15 R4 review, there’s a lot more to love about this machine, from the vibrant display with a 300 Hz refresh rate to the premium glass touchpad and snappy keyboard.
And with 11 I/O ports [including Gigabit Ethernet and a microSD card reader] and a stylish chassis, this has the versatility for any home setup or use on the go.

The best 1440p laptop Black Friday deals 2021
For a 1440p laptop on Black Friday 2021, If you’re looking for a premium level gaming laptop pick then the 16” Lenovo Legion 7 with Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card is the best we’ve seen to date. The 16:10 screen is a nice feature that improves immersion when gaming, and the 16 inch size hits the sweet spot between display size and portability. Coming close second is the 15” Eluktronics MECH-15 G3 Ultra Performance [if you’re based in the US] branded separately as the XMG Neo 15 in Europe, which comes with either a high TGP RTX 3070 GPU that performs in line with many lower-powered RTX 3080 laptops, or an even more powerful RTX 3080. The mechanical keyboard is also a great feature of this laptop. There are of course many great 16:10 2560 x 1600 retina display MacBooks on offer if you want a more general-purpose laptop, rather than a gaming model.

The best 4K laptop Black Friday deals 2021
We generally wouldn’t recommend going with a 4K gaming laptop on anything smaller than 17” display, you just won’t appreciate the extra resolution on a screen smaller than this. The MSI GE76 Raider 10UH however, ticks all the boxes, not only being 17 inches but also having a 120Hz refresh rate and a powerful enough RTX 3080 GPU to actually run games at the native resolution at an acceptable FPS.
