Not all gaming laptop deals are built the same - and you can easily cheapen your way out of a playable system by shopping in the budget category and not paying attention to your spec sheet. While this most frequently happens with older RTX 3050 systems these days, it's more often the RAM that you need to watch out for.

Last year’s Prime Big Deal Days sale saw the price of some of the best laptops we’ve tested cut by up to 40 per cent. Laptops from Dell, Acer and Lenovo were among the biggest deals last year, so, we’re expecting to see devices from these brands appearing in the 2024 sale.

It appears that Walmart's October Prime Day rival event is available for US shoppers at Walmart.com or in the Walmart app. You can always check in at your regional Walmart website, but if you're outside of the US, your best bet might be to shop at Amazon. Its sales event is going live in 18 countries.
