I’ve looked through hundreds of gaming laptops today – these are the 8 best deals at Walmart, Dell, Lenovo, and other retailers

February isn’t typically a standout month for gaming laptop bargains, but Presidents’ Day sales are the big exception. Now the big day itself is here at last, retailers like Walmart and Best Buy are rolling out some surprisingly strong discounts on a wide range of machines.

After digging through hundreds of listings, I’d argue a few of these offers are competitive with – and in some cases close to – last year’s Black Friday pricing. That’s especially noteworthy given recent upward pressure on laptop costs due to the ongoing RAM shortage. In context, today’s discounts are definitely better than expected if you’re looking for a good value machine.

I’ve rounded up 8 gaming laptops below that offer particularly solid value right now, with prices starting at just $579. There are picks for every budget today, but options like this MSI Cyborg 15 for $899 (was $1,199) and this Lenovo Legion 5 for $1,399 (was $1,849) at Walmart are particularly good buys right now.

While the above highlights are all at Walmart today, you’ll also find excellent discounts at Best Buy, HP, Dell, and Lenovo – all of which I’ve included in more detail just below.
