laptop prices in recent months. There are still a few bargains to be had, however, if you're keeping an eye out.

In the process of updating my monthly gaming laptop deals roundup, I've found a few listings that are actually worth sharing and worth the cash. First up is this Asus TUF F16 at Best Buy for $1,299 (was $1649) , which features 32GB of RAM, a decent Core i7 chipset, and an RTX 5060 graphics card. I've seen quite a few sub $1,000 RTX 5060 machines recently, but they all tend to cheap out on the other components. By comparison, you're getting a laptop that's gameworthy right out the box here albeit one that's a little pricier than some. For a meaningful upgrade, I'd also highlight this Acer Nitro V17 for $1,499 at Amazon as a great option. There's no outright price cut, but this listing is a rare diamond in the rough at a retailer that's usually flooded with subpar listings. An RTX 5070, 32GB of RAM, and Ryzen 7 chipset mean it's a decent value today. It is a larger 17-inch model, though, which may be a drawback if you value portability. You can read more about these gaming laptops and two more fantastic options below. 4 excellent gaming laptop deals today Asus TUF Gaming F16: was $1,649.99 now $1,299.99 at Best Buy Graphics card: RTX 5060 Processor : Intel Core i7 RAM : 32GB Storage : 1TB

A $350 discount makes this Asus F16 a much more compelling buy at Best Buy today. Sure, $1,300 is still a little on the pricey end for an RTX 5060
gaming laptop, but the combination of a decent Core i7 chipset and 32GB of
RAM means no corners are being cut here. In short, this is a very sensible
buy for those who want a nice level of performance without completely
breaking the bank. View Deal Alienware 16 Aurora: was $1,749.99 now
$1,374.99 at Best Buy Graphics card: RTX 5060 Processor : Intel Core 7 RAM : 32GB Storage : 1TB

You pay a little extra for a premium brand like Alienware, but this 16-inch Aurora is actually a decent value. Again, you're getting 32GB of RAM right
out the box, a spacious 1TB SSD, and a good Core 7 chipset to accompany your RTX 5060. Still, a little on the pricey end for an RTX 5060 gaming laptop,
but potentially worth it if you want a higher-end brand. View Deal Acer Nitro V 17 gaming laptop: $1,499.99 at Amazon Graphics card: RTX 5070 Processor : Ryzen 7 RAM : 32GB Storage : 1TB

There's no outright discount on this Acer Nitro V at Amazon, but there's no doubt it's one of the better value options out there right now. Not only do you get 32GB of RAM, but you're also getting a really good price on a machine with an RTX 5070 graphics card. Bear in mind, however, it's a 17-inch model, so not the best if you want something super-portable. View Deal Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop: was $2,549.99 now $2,099.99 at Best Buy Graphics card: RTX 5070 Ti Processor : AMD Ryzen 9 RAM : 32GB Storage : 1TB

We've always loved the Asus G14 for its compelling mix of portability, a high-end design, and excellent components for the money. This deal at Best
Buy knocks a decent chunk off the latest model with an RTX 5070 Ti configuration. Still pricey, yes, but you're getting a good deal here for a high-end laptop that should last a few good years down the line. View Deal
