Frequently Asked Questions

We track gaming laptop prices from trusted retailers across the regions we cover, then use our review experience and historical price data to decide whether a discount is actually worth sharing. A lower price does not automatically make something a good deal.

We look at the laptop's specs, performance potential, display, overall value, retailer reputation, stock status, and how the laptop compares with other competing products.

We do not aim to list every discount on the Internet. We would rather show fewer deals that are genuinely worth considering than fill the site with laptops that are overpriced for their specs, sold by retailers we do not trust, or we would not recommend.

Some retailer links on GamingLaptop.Deals may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the site, but it does not decide which laptops we list, which deals we highlight, or which retailers we link to.

Our number one goal is to help you save money. If a better deal is available from a retailer that does not pay us commission, we will share the better deal. Likewise, we will not list a poor value laptop just because it has an affiliate program.

We do not let retailers or laptop brands pay to override our judgment. Deals are chosen based on value, specs, price history, retailer trust, stock status, and whether we think the laptop is actually worth considering. If you find a better price than we have listed, please let us know at [email protected].

No. Retailers cannot pay us to list a bad deal, rank a deal higher, or override our judgment. Some links may earn a commission as mentioned in "Is GamingLaptop.Deals affiliated with retailers?", but deal selection is based on price, specs, retailer trust, stock, and whether we think the laptop is worth recommending.

Our website and reputation are built on trust, so we do not sell paid placement in our deal rankings or let retailers influence which deals we recommend.

We keep track of prices internally for different gaming laptops with different specs. We will only apply the "Record Low" tag if we are confident that this is the case and have data to back it up.

The tag also applies when a price is within a small margin of the lowest price we've tracked, not only at the exact figure.

For example, if we see an epic looking deal on a gaming laptop, but the configuration of specs is not one we've shared before, we won't apply the "Record Low" tag if we don't have enough historical price data on it. It may indeed be a record low price, but we need to be confident when saying so.

As we don't check every single retailer known to humankind, and instead check a finite number of reputable websites, it's possible that a "Record Low" deal has been lower elsewhere. "Record Low" specifically refers to the data that we collect from well regarded retailers, and does not mean "lowest price ever on the Internet anywhere". Dodgy retailers who we don't link to are likely to have lower prices, for example.

A deal will be tagged as "popular" if it has received the most clicks within the last 24 hours. The goal of this feature is to share overall community sentiment. If a lot of people are interested in a specific laptop, you'll be able to see it.

We limit the amount of clicks per user that get counted, which prevents someone trying to spam clicks and make a laptop appear popular.

Yes! Simply click the "Alert" button next to a deal. You will be prompted to provide the price you wish to be alerted at and your email address. Once submitted, you will be sent an email to confirm the alert. If you do not use the link in the confirmation email, the deal alert will not work.

Additionally, if you're in the US you can Sign up for our weekly email newsletter to stay updated on the best gaming laptop deals. Please note that currently the newsletter only covers US deals. Otherwise your best bet is to bookmark this website and check back regularly to see what's new. Newest deals are listed first.

On the Home page, deals are sorted by newest up the top first, and oldest down the bottom. There's no ranking system. A deal being at the top doesn't mean it's better, just that it was added more recently and is newer. That said, if there is a particularly good deal we may mark it as a "Top Pick" if we think it is worthy of extra attention. Top Picks are clearly marked.

On the Search and Laptops pages, we instead sort by the "Popular Models" by default.

But you can customize how each page is sorted based on your own preference using the drop down filters.

Before buying, always confirm the final details on the retailer's website. Check the exact laptop model and specs, including the GPU, CPU, RAM, storage, display, and whether it is new, refurbished, open box, or used. Also check the final price, tax, shipping cost, delivery date, return policy, warranty, and who the actual seller is if the retailer uses a marketplace.

We do our best to keep prices and specs accurate, but retailers can change listings, prices, stock status, coupons, and product pages without notice. The retailer's checkout page is the final source of truth before you buy.

An unfortunate downside of manually hand-picking the best deals is that when prices change or products go out of stock, it may take us a few hours to update the site - especially if we're asleep! We do our best to keep the listings up to date. Although we have some automated price checking where retailers offer API support, these still only update hourly so as to not overload the retailer with requests.

Additionally, if a laptop has sold out while on sale, we will show it at full price, as there's no point listing it as a deal if it wasn't actually available to purchase.

If you spot an incorrect price, expired deal, wrong spec, broken link, stock issue, or anything else that looks off, please email us at [email protected]. Helpful details include the GamingLaptop.Deals page or deal, the retailer link, your region, the price or spec you saw, and a screenshot if you have one.

We review correction reports as soon as we can. If something is wrong, we update or remove the affected listing. Retailers can change prices and stock without notice, so a deal may occasionally be outdated by the time you click through, but we appreciate reports that help us keep the site accurate.
