Nvidia has a bunch of back to school deals on the boil right now, with some tempting gaming laptops that benefit from Turing graphics cards having chunky discounts applied.

This includes a whopping $500 off one Lenovo Legion laptop, and that’s the main deal that caught our eye.

Lenovo’s 15-inch gaming notebook is built around an Intel Core i7-9750H six-core processor, paired with an RTX 2070 (Max-Q) graphics card, plus a Full HD display which is an IPS panel with Nvidia G-Sync and a 144Hz refresh rate for seriously smooth gaming.

You also get 16GB of system memory, a 256GB PCIe SSD along with a 1TB hard drive for extra storage.

We’ve also highlighted an Asus gaming laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 chip at the lowest price we’ve ever seen, and the same is true for an HP Omen model, as you’ll see highlighted in the deals below. All of these deals will only remain while stock lasts, as ever.

For those on the lookout for a monitor with a high refresh rate for competitive gaming, HP has knocked some money off the OMEN X 25, which is a 240Hz gaming monitor.

A high-powered laptop for gaming at an extremely tempting price with $500 knocked off. It has a fast six-core Intel CPU twinned with an RTX 2070 GPU, and all sorts of gamer-friendly goodies like a G-Sync display with a 144Hz refresh rate and an RGB backlit keyboard.

This 15.6-inch laptop with a Full HD display has an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H chip with GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, plus 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. This is the cheapest we’ve ever seen this model, and it cost $300 more when we reviewed the machine, declaring the portable a brilliant affordable gaming option, even before this discount.

If you want fast and fluid gaming for the likes of competitive shooters, it doesn’t come much better than this, and the $35 discount may be more modest than some of the above savings, but it still represents a healthy 6% discount.
