As we approach the end of 2018, it is easy to see that PC gaming is bigger than it’s ever been. If you’re looking to jump into the fun for the first time or you’re thinking of upgrading from older hardware, a new gaming laptop might be just what the doctor ordered. Black Friday 2018 is loaded with some of the best deals on gaming laptops that you will see all year.

When looking for the best gaming laptop deals, pay close attention to the display size of the laptop and which type of graphics card is included. The graphics card is the most important component to consider for PC gaming, so it is generally advised to pick up the most powerful option that your budget allows. Where possible, value GPU quality over processor speed, except in cases where high refresh rates matter more to you. 120Hz and 144Hz displays are more demanding on the CPU than laptops with standard 60Hz displays. If you are stuck deciding between a pair of similar laptops and one has a SSD while the other does not, always opt for the laptop with the SSD, as it will make the biggest difference in performance for everyday use.
