We’re still a full month away from Black Friday, but we’re already starting to see some incredible gaming laptop deals this week. These deals are so good, in fact, that I’ve no issues recommending them to our readers looking to get their shopping done early.
For example, over at Best Buy right now, you can get this superb RTX 4060-equipped MSI Cyborg 14for $799 (was $1,099)- the cheapest price I’ve seen yet for this machine. While the 14-inch form factor of this particular model might not be to everyone’s taste (gaming laptops are usually 15+ inches), this is a great choice for a portable machine that still has plenty of power under the hood.

If you’re interested, you can find a full list of this week’s best options from Best Buy, Amazon, Dell, and Newegg just below.
