Make sure to check back here often for the latest and greatest sales.

Finding The Best Black Friday Gaming Deals

You have to be careful when browsing retailers during the holiday season, as some unscrupulous sellers try to fake you out with fraudulent high base prices and “discounts” that aren’t any better than what you can get year-round. When it comes to gaming hardware, the best way to understand what you’re getting is by reading our in-depth reviews, where we benchmark components and compare prices to find where the actual values are. For now, we can promise that these offers are the real deal.

Razer Gaming Laptop Deal

If you’re interested in an ultralight portable that packs a ton of power, the Razer Blade 14 is a steal at 15% off. We gave this laptop an Editors’ Choice in our review, praising its sleek and dynamic design, luxurious build quality, and high-end components, including a speedy Ryzen 9 processor, a Nvidia 50-series graphics card, and a bright and crisp 3K display. One of the low-key coolest aspects of the Blade 14 is its battery life. We tested it at over 10 hours of use on a single charge, which is remarkable for a lightweight gaming machine.

Asus Gaming Laptop Deal

Want a different Editors’ Choice-winning option? Best Buy has this loadout for the Asus ROG Zephyrus on sale for 20% off of retail, and it’s a top pick thanks to a really nice 3K OLED screen, elegant all-metal chassis, and excellent port selection. In our review, lead hardware writer Matthew Buzzi said it was “a beautiful combination of design and performance,” noting that it benchmarked competitively against units in its price range and higher. While this configuration is a little less potent, it’ll still handle modern games at high settings with ease.

Alienware Gaming Desktop Deal

Looking to set up a new home gaming battlestation? We raved about the recently-released 2025 Alienware Area-51 in our review, with its totally redesigned chassis delivering futuristic appeal thanks to a metal front panel, illuminated RGB loop and tempered glass side panel. Inside, you’ll find top-quality components, including a new Blackwell-series Nvidia graphics card. If you’re a tinkerer, the access method for this tower is one of the simplest and coolest we’ve ever seen, and the positive-pressure airflow system is innovative and quiet, even under heavy pressure.
