TL;DR: Save on Intel gaming laptops at Best Buy through June 27.
Travel and gaming are no longer mutually exclusive pursuits. Thanks to the advent of better, faster, and, let’s be honest, affordable laptops, you can stash your machine in your backpack and play pretty much anywhere.
If you’re thinking about leveling up with a fresh gaming setup, your CPU (central processing unit) is still a key consideration. Yes, a GPU delivers the eye-popping graphics that separate gaming laptops from business notebooks, but a CPU is still its brain.
With desktop-level performance, gaming laptops powered by Intel Core processors balance speed and efficiency. Just in time for steamy days when it’s too hot to actually go outside, save on Intel-powered gaming laptops at Best Buy (through June 27).
ASUS - ROG Zephyrus M15 15.6" 4K Ultra HD Gaming Laptop ($1,299.99, originally $1,549.99)
At its price point, this ticks all the boxes for a decent option — punching above its 4.43-pound design. It features a solid, six-core 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10750H mobile processor and VR-ready NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. Keep your head in the game with an immersive, 15.6-inch display and 16GB memory for smooth multitasking. For work purposes, you can double-down with an HDMI output for connecting a second screen.
Alienware - M17 R4 - 17.3" FHD Gaming Laptop ($2099.99, originally $2,249.99)
Keeping these stealthy machines running at their peak and staying cool requires complex thermal technology. The advanced Alienware Cryo-Tech improves airflow to the hardworking CPU and GPU with more fan blades (like cranking up the A/C on a 100-degree day). When you need more drive, the eight-core 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-10870H delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology and downshifts to save energy when you don’t.
Alienware - Area 51M R2 Laptop ($2,769.99)
With an eight-core 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 10700 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER graphics, this is a primo pick for serious gamers. The 17.3-inch, full HD display has a 300Hz refresh rate, which has been setting a new benchmark for gaming laptops recently, and there’s a 103 key RGB keyboard at your lightning-fast fingertips. Along with a customizable chassis underglow, you can color-code the keys’ backlighting — and make the power of the rainbow work for you.
