What about Black Friday gaming laptop deals?
In 2021 we're expecting some solid price cuts to Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series laptops, with systems from Asus, Acer and MSI likely to receive the biggest reductions. Systems such as the MSI Katana GF66 that come loaded with a GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card will be well worth watching, as post-discount we could see a below £700 price point.
RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3060 graphics card gaming laptops will also be discounted at almost every maker, as they are in the sweet spot in terms of technological age/power and monetary spend.
That's not to say gaming laptops loaded with powerhouse graphics chips like the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 won't be discounted, they just won't be as widespread and will, naturally, cost quite a bit more money.
T3's top tip, though, for Black Friday 2021 gaming laptops deals is to remember discounts on Nvidia GeForce 20 series laptops. There's going to be loads of systems discounted that rock RTX 2060 and RTX 2080 GPUs, and these will likely be the cheapest available. These cards have loads of power and could offer gamers the best way to get the most bang for their gaming buck this Black Friday.
