If you're hunting for mid-range gaming laptop deals, we've just spotted a great value buy over at the official Microsoft store - this 17.3-inch Acer Nitro 5 for just £799 (opens in new tab).
Aside from being a rare deal on a 17.3-inch gaming laptop (with 144Hz display no less), it's also featuring a GTX 1660Ti graphics card plus a 10th gen Intel Core i7 processor. Those are some very respectable specs, especially for the money, and the upgradable 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD are great storage components too.
Now we're starting to see the introduction of the newest RTX 3000 (opens in new tab) series of graphics cards, machines packing these older (but still pretty good) series of Nvidia cards are really starting to drop in price. If you wanted to wait for a gaming laptop deal with the newest cards, that's also a perfectly viable option, although it's going to be a fair while before those break the sub £1,000 barrier, let alone £800.
So, if you're on a budget, we've got no hesitation in recommending this Acer Nitro 5 at Microsoft, especially since the GTX 1660Ti will still put out great 1080p performance. If you do want something a little beefier, however, you can also check out this Lenovo Legion 5i at Currys for £899 (opens in new tab) - a gaming laptop featuring an RTX 2060. That graphics card will support ray-tracing, which is a graphical feature becoming really popular on next-gen games. If you'd like to read a bit more, we've broken down both these options in more detail just below.
