While $550 is an amazing price for a gaming laptop, you have to set your expectations accordingly. The Ryzen 5 7235HS processor is a bit long in the tooth, and ditto for the RTX 3050 graphics card with 6GB of video memory. It’ll run most new games, but you may have to settle for medium settings to hit 60 FPS.

Gaming laptops have come a long way from the past few years when they used to be massive and bulky, and if you’re looking for a great mid-range option, this configuration of the Dell G16 is worth checking out.

Finding a top-notch gaming laptop with a fantastic discount isn’t easy, but here’s one that made my jaw hit the floor: this powerful Acer Predator Helios Neo config is $450 off at Best Buy, bringing it down to a much more affordable price of $1,050 for a rocket.
