How to choose a gaming laptop on Prime Day

We understand if all of the Best Buy Prime Day gaming laptop deals are overwhelming you — there’s simply too many brands and models to choose from. Unfortunately, you don’t have the luxury of time because with all the potential savings, these gaming laptops are flying off the shelves. You’re going to have to make a quick decision, or else you’re going to miss out on all the discounts.

First and foremost, you should take a look at the entries in our roundup of the best gaming laptops. These should be your initial targets when you’re looking through all of bargains from Best Buy. However, they’re not the only ones worth purchasing. At the very least, this list should give you an idea of the brands that every gamer can trust to meet their strict requirements.

Specific models of gaming laptops can come in various configurations when you purchase them from Best Buy. You’re going to have to choose between Intel versus AMD for your processor, though the gap between these two brands have narrowed over the past few years. You should also check out our GPU buying guide for advice on choosing a graphics card for your gaming laptop, which will likely be a decision between Nvidia and, again, AMD. Meanwhile, our guide on how much RAM do you need recommends 16GB of RAM, but you can go lower if you don’t mind sacrificing graphics quality, or higher if you want faster performance.

You should also determine the size that you want for your gaming laptop’s screen — 14 inches is relatively small but it keeps the device portable, while 17 inches gives you a great look at the best PC games but it’s going to be tough to carry around. You’ll also want to get the highest resolution and refresh rate possible so that you can better appreciate the graphics of modern video games.

Last but not least, you’re going to want to set a maximum budget for your gaming laptop purchase, and we recommend getting the most expensive model that you can afford. This will likely give you the best possible gaming experience, though you’ll also have to compare between gaming laptops of similar prices during Prime Day to make sure that you’ll get the highest specifications.
