Gaming hardware often puts a serious hurt on your wallet, which is why waiting for sales is a smart move. Case in point: Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, launching October 7, will bring 48 straight hours of discounts on tech of all types. While Amazon isn’t often our first choice for gaming laptops and desktops, there are good bargains to be found if you’re clever, and here are three solid machines that you can save on right now.
Lenovo Gaming Laptop Deal
Lenovo Legion 5i Gaming Laptop
15.1-inch 2.6K display, Intel i7-14700HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD
$1,555.19
at Amazon
$1,999.00
Save $443.81
Even though Lenovo is best-known for their productivity PCs, they do a bang-up job in the gaming space as well. The Legion 5i is a well-appointed portable, and we gave it an “Excellent” rating in our review, with special attention to its high-quality keyboard and impressive battery life. This loadout includes a 50-series Nvidia GPU, which pumps out frames at a rapid clip, as well as generous RAM for zippy multitasking and content creation. It’s not the lightest laptop on the market, but you’re a strong gamer, you can handle a little extra weight, especially when you save 22%.
Thunderbot Gaming Laptop Deal
Thunderobot Zero 18 Pro Gaming Laptop
18-inch QHD+ display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD
$2,499.99
at Amazon
$2,799.00
Save $299.01
Chinese company Thunderobot has made a big push into the American gaming market this year with their beefy laptops, and initial response has been very positive. This is a big-screen beast with incredible internals that stack up to desktops in the same price range, including a massive 64GB of DDR5 RAM, an ultra-powerful RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, and more. The 18-inch display is bright and crisp, with the company’s charmingly-named “Bionic Hummingbird Eye-Care” tech giving it 240Hz refresh rate that’s easy on the peepers. A few of their models are on sale right now, but an 11% price cut makes this one ultra-appealing.

Here’s a great midrange desktop at a 12% price cut. MSI consistently ranks highly in our Readers’ Choice surveys, as they combine high-quality builds with good components and lots of room for expansion. The Aegis R2 comes in a stylish case with a tempered glass side panel and mesh front panel, with cooling courtesy of four RGB fans and a dedicated CPU cooler. For graphics, you get the cutting-edge RTX 5070 Ti, which we gave an Editors’ Choice award for high-end cards to in MSI Aegis R2, and the Ultra 9 processor is a top performer as well.
