A decent gaming laptop or gaming desktop spells the difference between smooth sailing (and maybe making it to the end of a battle royale unscathed) and a laggy mess. And good news: The dedicated GPU is also good for 3D rendering, running intensive programs ...

For example, the Dell G15 is $799 @ Dell, which is $300 off the usual $1,099 asking price of this 1080p gaming laptop. That's a great deal on this gaming machine, which is ideal for getting started with PC gaming thanks to its 165Hz 1080p display and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU.

The clear downside here is the pricing - since its launch date, the RTX 4090 has been highly sought after, with a notable lack of price drops for the desktop GPU along with 4090-equipped laptops remaining expensive. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this is still the case, despite the long-awaited RTX 5000 series reveal no doubt coming soon.
