It’s still a few weeks until Black Friday officially arrives, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t discounts on electronics if you know where to look (and we do). A decent gaming laptop or gaming desktop spells the difference between smooth sailing (and maybe making it to the end of a battle royale unscathed) and a laggy mess. And good news: The dedicated GPU is also good for 3D rendering, running intensive programs like Photoshop, and editing other forms of media, so it’s worth investing in if you’re a creative. The best part? Black Friday has come early and there are some top of the line configurations on sale right now that will level up your gameplay and/or creativity suite.
With this 26% discount, the Acer Nitro V is a solid budget gaming laptop that won’t break the bank. Gaming performance is solid thanks and the 15.6-inch display renders gameplay in crisp 1080p. Our expert reviewed a similar configuration and praised the attractive price and 1080p gaming performance.

And don’t overlook that $80 discount.

Our expert gave an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming desktop with similar specs an “excellent” score as well as the Editors’ Choice award for its effective performance and refreshed design. One of the few cons was the lack of budget models, and so this $350 discount should be extra enticing for those looking for a cutting edge gaming rig.
