Multiple 2025 gaming laptops have been launched already this year, but we want to highlight three particular models that impressed us more than the others. These three portable powerhouses are easily the best gaming laptops with Nvidia GPUs this year — at least for the time being.

Woot, a dedicated deals site owned by Amazon, is serving up a whole bunch of factory reconditioned gaming laptops at cheap prices.

There are many high-quality laptops for under $500 that don’t necessarily skimp on power, memory or screen size.

The HP Victus 15.6 is the best gaming laptop deal during Prime Day—it's just at Best Buy instead of Amazon. You get a six-core Ryzen 7 CPU, RTX 4050 with 6GB RAM, and a 144Hz gaming display, all for under $650.

The HP Omen Max 16 pairs with HyperX mice and headsets without the need for wireless USB dongles.

Acer Nitro V laptop ($650): It has a better CPU, a faster SSD, Thunderbolt 4 and a superior GPU. However it is also more expensive and half the memory. If you are happy to add the extra memory by yourself, then this is the one to go for.
