Cyber Monday is full of deals if you're a Mario fan. Across the whole sales weekend we've seen a whole bunch of great deals, including games, consoles, and merch to make the most of the bargains. So whether you're an OG fan or you have your eyes on the latest deals, let's-a-get stuck in.
After spending 41% of my life as a tech journalist I can tell you these are the best Black Friday gaming laptops under $1,000
24.11.2023 - 00:49 / pcgamer.com / Best
Money is tight, but maybe not so tight that you don't want to treat yourself to a new toy. Because, let's face it, that's what gaming laptops are: toys. You can pretend to yourself, your partner, or your accountant that you really need a discrete graphics card for your 'work', but let's be honest, you want a laptop that can play games.
But they are expensive things, which makes sales events, such as Black Friday, a great time to start shopping around. If you don't have a particular brand in mind—and aren't expecting to bag a new Razer Blade—you will find some impressive sub-$1,000 Black Friday gaming laptop bargains available right now.
1. MSI Thin GF63 | GeForce RTX 4050 | Core i5 12450H | 8GB DDR4-4800 | 512GB SSD | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | $899$599 at B&H Photo (save $300)
This is every inch a budget gaming laptop and that means compromise. If you're after a pure mobile gaming experience we'd probably suggest the Steam Deck OLED or ROG Ally as a more compelling ~$600 purchase, but if you want an actually affordable laptop with some gaming chops the MSI GF63 has something about it. We've not tested a 45W version of the RTX 4050, but that's still got a chance to deliver some decent gaming frame rates at the native 1080p resolution of the screen. So long as you stick to medium settings, I would say. The CPU, with its four P-cores and four E-cores still ends up with 12 threads, so is still a relatively capable chip, but it's that 8GB single channel memory that will hold this machine back. But a <$30 16GB upgrade kit will sort that out.
Price check: Amazon $799.99 (16GB version)
2. Asus TUF A16 | Radeon RX 7600S | AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS | 16GB DDR5 | 512GB SSD | 16-inch | 1200p | 165Hz | $1,099.99$749.99 at Best Buy (save $350)
For a gaming laptop with close to RTX 4060-level gaming performance the TUF A16 feels like a genuine bargain. That 512GB SSD is a bit miserly, but everything else seems like excellent value for money. That RX 7600S GPU is a rare AMD mobile GPU, and sits above the RTX 4050 and a bit below the RTX 4060 in terms of performance. For a $750 gaming laptop, that's a good place to be.
Price check: Amazon $1,139.99 | Newegg $1,029.99
3. Gigabyte G5 | Core i7 12650H | RTX 4060 | 16GB DDR5-4800 | 512GB SSD | 15.6-inch | 1080p | 144Hz | $1,099.99 $799.99 at Best Buy (save $300)
This is a lot of laptop for not very much money. To start with, you're getting a 10-core, 16-thread CPU that will easily cope with pretty much any game you throw at it. There's an RTX 4060 Mobile graphics chip too, that supports DLSS upscaling and frame generation. The storage is a bit disappointing, and you'll probably want to upgrade it at some point with a large SSD. For portable gaming and school work, though, this

These Black Friday gift card deals are the best present for the gamer in your life
Every Christmas, my family refuses to believe that all I really want is a gift card for the PlayStation store or Nintendo E-Shop. A present needs to be more than an envelope or a voucher code, they tell me. Now don't get me wrong, the presents they end up getting me are lovely, and I'm always grateful to receive them, but I don't think they realize that a wallet top-up so I can get a hold of the games I've missed throughout the year is quite honestly the best Christmas present I could ask for.
