This last-gen gaming laptop is a great amalgamation of parts: 165Hz display, an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor, Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD for all those 50GB-plus game installations. It’s rare to find a mid-rage gaming laptop like this for anywhere near $1,000.

Budget gaming laptops rarely fall under $900 these days, especially ones with 16GB of RAM like the Lenovo LOQ 15, but you can get it for $830 during Prime Day.
