RTX 3050 laptop deals can save you some serious cash on starter rigs right now, and not only are there some excellent prices up for grabs this week, but we’re also starting to see Intel’s 12th generation processors coming into play as well. We often see cheaper rigs going for as little as $700 these days, which means those on the hunt for a starter model should absolutely be taking advantage of the latest price drops. With so many different models on the shelves – each offering a slightly different value proposition – it can be difficult to work out where to start.
That’s where we come in. We’ve been tracking gaming laptop deals for years now, so we know a good price when we see one. You’ll find all our top picks for the best RTX 3050 laptop deals just below, and we keep this page well stocked with new models every week. It’s important to note that picking up an RTX 3050 laptop means you won’t exactly be getting the best gaming laptop configuration on the market. This is Nvidia’s entry level card, so you won’t be getting the best possible visuals out of your games.
However, RTX 3080 laptops and RTX 3070 laptops can run up quite a bill, so if you’re happy with dropping your fps a little, you can find some excellent value a little further down the price bracket. Plus, you’re still picking up the latest generation here, so you’re future proofed for updates to come.
