There’s no shortage of options from this year’s Best Buy Prime Day gaming laptop deals, but to help you make a decision before stocks run out, we’ve gathered the bargains worth buying below. Whether you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly device or you want a future-proof gaming laptop, there’s something for you here. You’re going to have to hurry though, as the more popular models among the offers we picked are probably already close to selling out.

How to choose a gaming laptop on Prime Day

We understand if all of the Best Buy Prime Day gaming laptop deals are overwhelming you — there’s simply too many brands and models to choose from. Unfortunately, you don’t have the luxury of time because with all the potential savings, these gaming laptops are flying off the shelves. You’re going to have to make a quick decision, or else you’re going to miss out on all the discounts.

First and foremost, you should take a look at the entries in our roundup of the best gaming laptops. These should be your initial targets when you’re looking through all of bargains from Best Buy. However, they’re not the only ones worth purchasing. At the very least, this list should give you an idea of the brands that every gamer can trust to meet their strict requirements.

Specific models of gaming laptops can come in various configurations when you purchase them from Best Buy. You’re going to have to choose between Intel versus AMD for your processor, though the gap between these two brands have narrowed over the past few years. You should also check out our GPU buying guide for advice on choosing a graphics card for your gaming laptop, which will likely be a decision between Nvidia and, again, AMD. Meanwhile, our guide on how much RAM do you need recommends 16GB of RAM, but you can go lower if you don’t mind sacrificing graphics quality, or higher if you want faster performance.

You should also determine the size that you want for your gaming laptop’s screen — 14 inches is relatively small but it keeps the device portable, while 17 inches gives you a great look at the best PC games but it’s going to be tough to carry around. You’ll also want to get the highest resolution and refresh rate possible so that you can better appreciate the graphics of modern video games.

Last but not least, you’re going to want to set a maximum budget for your gaming laptop purchase, and we recommend getting the most expensive model that you can afford. This will likely give you the best possible gaming experience, though you’ll also have to compare between gaming laptops of similar prices during Prime Day to make sure that you’ll get the highest specifications.

A lot goes into making music before it reaches our ears. There are the instruments, recording equipment, production software, and sometimes an awful lot of experimenting before a song actually takes shape. Apple is bringing that entire process out of the recording studio to promote its new MacBook Pro, and it has enlisted British singer-songwriter Labrinth for a rather unusual musical experiment.

Labrinth, who has produced music for some of the biggest names in the industry, will spend an entire night at Apple's Tower Theatre store in Los Angeles, creating a song from scratch using the new MacBook Pro and Logic Pro. The whole session will be broadcast live on YouTube, where fans can watch the musician work his magic, while also getting an opportunity to ask questions.

iCloud Private Relay

I’ve sent more iCloud links than I can count. Still, I never once wondered who else might be looking at what sat behind them. Well, it looks like Apple has started wondering for all of us.

In a new support document, Apple confirms that iOS 27.3 will begin checking content shared through public “Anyone with the link” iCloud links for harmful material (via Apple). While the developer beta is already available, the stable build is expected in December 2026.

A timer ticking, a song playing, a recording running: I lose track of these the second I switch windows. Well, it looks like Apple wants my Mac to keep them in view, and I’m all up for it.
