We've just spotted an awesome pre-Prime Day gaming laptop deal in the form of this 15.6-inch Gigabyte A5 for $899 (was $1,199) at Best Buy.
A $300 price cut, alongside an RTX 3060 graphics card, AMD Ryzen 5-5600H processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD has us confident in recommending this one, even though the yearly Amazon Prime Day sales are set to take place in just over two weeks from now.
What makes this gaming laptop deal at Best Buy so good is the combination of a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM - both of which exceed the usual specs you find at this price point. While the graphics card does most of the heavy lifting, it's really nice to have a roomy storage solution and a full set of RAM you don't have to upgrade yourself. Generally speaking, it's not uncommon to find an RTX 3060 gaming laptop deal at this price point anymore but you normally have to spend a bit more and do some DIY to get the full potential out of it.
A good comparison is this 15.6-inch MSI GF65 at Best Buy for $799 (was $999). It features an RTX 3060 graphics card at a lower price point but only comes with 8GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and an Intel Core i5-10500H, which is an older CPU now. Both are quite possibly the best gaming laptop deals out there currently in regards to value, but the Gigabyte offers a better bargain for 1080p gaming out the box. Subsequently, if you can afford to spend a little more, we'd say go for that one.
