Memorial Day gaming laptop deals are here, and we’re seeing some particularly strong configurations dropping down to some excellent prices this weekend. While Memorial Day proper is set to kick off tomorrow, May 30, we’re already seeing retailers getting into the swing of their discounts (and have been for a few days now).
That means there’s plenty on the shelves right now, from budget starter rigs to more powerful RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 monsters. We’re cherry picking all the very best Memorial Day gaming laptop deals – across the entire price range – from all your favorite retailers and bringing our treasure trove of savings right here. What’s more, we’re even seeing some of the best gaming laptops on the market taking some serious discounts here as well.
Highlights include the RTX 3060 MSI GF65 going for just $799.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab), an excellent price considering we usually see these rigs at over $1,000.

(opens in new tab)MSI GF63 Thin GTX 1650 gaming laptop | $699 $594 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
Save $105 – This is a price point that we hardly ever see at the entry-level of gaming laptop hardware. Inside this machine is the GTX 1650 with the still respectable Intel Core i5 10th gen; more than enough for light gaming on a budget. Features: Intel Core i5-10300H, GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6-inch Full HD screen.

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 GTX 1650 gaming laptop | $721 $664.62 at Newegg (opens in new tab)
Save $56 – The slight saving here takes the already fairly aggressively priced IdeaPad 3 into even cheaper territory in this weekend’s Memorial Day gaming laptop deals. This model features not only an IPS screen, but also double the storage space that is typically available in the sub-$750 range.

Acer Nitro 5 GTX 1650 gaming laptop | $780 $679.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $100 – The Acer Nitro 5 was already cheap, but this $100 discount brings that price down even further. Perhaps the greatest strength of this gaming laptop is the 11th gen i5, where similarly priced units normally run an older 10th gen instead. Features: Intel Core i5-11400H, GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz Full HD screen.

Dell G15 RTX 3050 gaming laptop | $1,069 $699.99 at Dell (opens in new tab)
Save $369 – While we’ve seen Dell G15 gaming laptops selling for this price before, this is a competent entry-level machine for light gaming, bettered by the company’s sterling build quality at under the $700 mark. Features: Intel Core i5-11260H, RTX 3050, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6-inch 120Hz Full HD screen.

Asus TUF Gaming 17 RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop | $999 $749.99 at Best Buy
(opens in new tab)Save $249 – This is an excellent price for a larger gaming laptop running the surprisingly capable RTX 3050 Ti with ray tracing support.

MSI GF65 RTX 3060 gaming laptop | $1,100 $799.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $300 – We’ve seen the MSI GF65 at this price before, however, at under the $800 mark, your money gets you a powerful, and capable machine rocking entry-level Ampere GPU tech at a rate rarely seen. The only real price-saving measure here is on the 10th gen i5, though, the chipset is unlikely to slow anything down when gaming. Features: Intel Core i5-10500H, RTX 3060, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz Full HD screen.

Gigabyte G5 RTX 3050 gaming laptop | $999 $872.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $126 – The biggest strength of this Gigabyte G5 for the asking price is the IPS-panel type for better colors and the bump up to 16GB RAM, double that of what is typically available in the sub-$900 mark. The RTX 3050 is more than capable of providing playable frame rates in full HD to take advantage, too. Features: Intel Core i5-11400H, RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

MSI Sword RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop | $1,200 $899.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $300 – What makes the MSI Sword a particularly strong buy is the inclusion of an 11th gen i7 instead of an i5 which is much more common in this price range. While on the pricier side for an RTX 3050 laptop, the added horsepower of this CPU should ensure fast performance in Full HD. Features: Intel Core i7-11800H, RTX 3050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz Full HD screen.
Dell G15 15.6-inch RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop | $1,368.99 $949.99 at Dell (opens in new tab)
Save $419 – Considering there’s 16GB RAM tucked away in this RTX 3050 Ti configuration of the Dell G15, this $419 discount is a particularly strong offer. You’re picking up a mid-range configuration of Dell’s entry level model for just $949.99 in this weekend’s Memorial Day gaming laptop deals. Features: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 120Hz 15.6-inch Full HD screen.

Save $250 – Coming in at just under $1,000, the Gigabyte A5 K1 is one of the more powerful RTX 3060 gaming laptops on the market right now, especially when factoring in the 240Hz refresh rate. This is an inclusion scarcely seen in this price range. Features: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 15.6-inch Full HD 240Hz screen.

Features: Intel Core i5-11400H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz IPS screen.

MSI Pulse GL66 RTX 3070 gaming laptop | $1,500 $1,267 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Save $223 – While not quite the lowest-ever price we’ve seen on the MSI Pulse GL66, the current selling rate just so happens to make it one of the cheapest RTX 3070 laptops we have come across in some time. This model doesn’t compromise on the hardware to keep the price competitive either, as the specs can attest. Features: Intel Core i7-11800H, RTX 3070, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz Full HD screen.

Save $400 – The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 features an 11th gen i9 CPU which is decidedly rare for gaming laptops at this price point.

Features: Intel Core i9-11900H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 16-inch 165Hz WQHD screen.

MSI GP66 RTX 3070 gaming laptop | $1,700 $1,599.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $100 – While the saving isn’t too extensive, the MSI GP66 is still selling for a competitive rate given what this model offers inside.

Features: Intel Core i7-11800H, RTX 3070, 16GB RAM, 1TB, 240Hz 15.6-inch Full HD screen.

Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 RX 6800S gaming laptop | $1,900 $1,799.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
Save $100 – Though this is only a small discount, this gaming laptop deal is significant because the Asus ROG Zephyrus 14 of this spec has only been on the market for a few months. Running the brand Ryzen 9 6000-series chip, and with DDR5 memory at the heart, this is a machine that is futureproofed for many years to come.
