Just when you thought all the Prime Day deals for this year were over, I've found two perfect examples of properly great laptop bargains that have well overshot the official sale period. Dell does its own thing, y'see, so both its G15 and G16 gaming laptops are still at their most discounted prices—and will probably remain so for a while longer yet.
One's a great RTX 4060 lappy for properly budget prices, and the other is a 240 Hz RTX 4070 gaming beastie for the sort of price that you'd normally find a much lesser-equipped model. Prime Day be damned: These two laptops are still some of the best deals you'll find on a portable gaming machine at any time of year.
Dell G15 | RTX 4060 | Ryzen 7 7840HS | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 165 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 4800| 512 GB SSD | $1,099.99$849.99 at Dell (save $250)
This is the cheapest we've seen a proper RTX 4060 laptop for a while, with an all round selection of components that makes a lot of sense. It's a shame about the 512 GB SSD, but you can always stick a bigger one in it from our cheap SSD deals page.
RTX 4060 laptops can often be found north of the $1,000 mark, but here you're getting a properly specced gaming laptop for $850 at Dell. It might not be perfect, but the components here are excellent for the cash.
That Ryzen 7 7840HS is an eight-core 16-thread chip with a max boost clock of 5.1 GHz, which should have no trouble keeping up with the latest game CPU requirements. Paired with 16 GB of DDR5, it makes for a proper mobile gaming CPU and RAM package—although it must be said that it's not exactly the fastest memory you can buy. Still, in real-world gaming performance that should make little difference, as really you're going to be leaning on the GPU here to pump pixels to that 165 Hz screen.
And yes, it's the mobile RTX 4060, which isn't exactly a screamer of a GPU. Still, it'll have no problem keeping that 1080p screen fed, and thanks to DLSS 3 and the magic of Frame Generation it should remain good enough for proper gaming
