Update: Amazon Prime Day is over until Prime Day 2021, but there are still plenty of other opportunities to get a great deal. We've got you covered for more gaming laptop deals (US) and cheap gaming laptops (UK).
We've scoured a number of the top retailers for Amazon Prime Day deals (and not just Amazon) in search of the absolute cheapest gaming laptop of the sales season. We've found not one, but the two most affordable gaming laptops on Amazon Prime Day, including an absolute bargain from Acer.
The Acer Nitro 5 is the cheapest gaming laptop on Amazon Prime Day, sold right now on Best Buy in the US for a cool $519. That $150 discounted price nets you an AMD Ryzen 5 processor (CPU), AMD Radeon RX 560X graphics (GPU), 8GB of memory (RAM) and a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD). All of that sits behind a 1080p, 15.6-inch display with IPS wide viewing angle technology.
Being the cheapest laptop available during Prime Day, you'd think it would be a total dud. Not so! While it's not on our best gaming laptops list, we found the Acer Nitro 5 to offer solid battery life and decent gaming performance for the price in our full review – and that was at the full $669.
The closest price and configuration to this product we could find in the UK was at £669 on NewEgg's British website (opens in new tab).
Honorable mention: Asus ROG TUF FX505DY
