There’s a lot of comfort and simplicity in a gaming laptop. You get all the functionality of a gaming PC in a compact package. That’s why gaming laptop deals are great: they allow you to get a deal on good specs without paying the high prices you’d usually expect. These are two of the best gaming computer deals on Dell’s site right now.
Alienware m15 Ryzen Edition – $1,150, was $1,500
First up on the block is the Alienware m15 Ryzen edition, and what’s great about this is that you don’t often see AMD products in laptops, even though they’re just as good as Intel and most of the time cheaper too. In this case, you get the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, which should easily eat through most of the stuff you throw at it. Paired together with it is an RTX 3050 Ti, a recent addition to the Nvidia lineup that is also quite powerful, especially with the included DLSS upscaling AI that RTX cards offer. As for the screen, it’s an FHD 15.6-incher with an excellent 120Hz refresh rate. The only slightly lower specced things are the 8GB of DDR4 RAM and the 256GB SSD, although you can pick up an external hard drive for the latter.
G15 Special Gaming Edition – $1,300, was $1,739
Almost as if to prove the point, we have the Dell G15 gaming edition, which is essentially the same as the m15 Ryzen, with the main difference being that you get an 11th-gen Intel i7-11800H instead of a Ryzen 7 5800H. You also get the RAM bumped up to 16GBs from 8GBs. Otherwise, most of the specs stay the same, from the 512Gb SSD internal storage to the 15.6-inch FHD screen. Given the extra savings, you could consider buying a gaming monitor through our gaming monitor deals to pair with the laptop when you’re at home at a desk; that way, you can take advantage of the RTX 3060’s power.
Regardless of which option you go for, both these gaming laptops are pretty powerful. That being said, you may prefer the desktop gaming experience, in which case check out our gaming PC deals for a pre-built that might work better for you.
