May is usually a pretty quiet patch of the year for gaming laptop deals, but the annual Memorial Day sales are definitely an exception. In fact, discounts at retailers like Best Buy can rival those from Black Friday and other well-known events.

Best Buy's Memorial Day sale is already live this week, so I've been scanning through all the listings to find the best price cuts. In short, there's plenty to consider right now if you're looking for an RTX 5060, RTX 5070, or RTX 5070 Ti machine. Even slightly cheaper (and older) models are on sale today.
