Even though most people are likely done shopping for the year, there are still plenty of deals to be had on the best gaming laptops; Dell produces most of its gaming laptops under the Alienware brand, but there are a few, like the excellent G5 and G7 series, that are available under the regular There are also a few models with the Dell label. Right now, you can get a Dell G7 high-end laptop for $1,349.99, a $500 savings over the original MSRP.

The model on sale is powered by an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, a 6-core/12-thread CPU with a turbo frequency of 4.8 GHz. Other specifications include 16GB RAM, 1TB NVme SSD for storage, 720p webcam, and Thunderbolt 3 support. The most notable feature is the 15.6" 4K screen, but it only supports a standard 60Hz refresh rate, whereas most 1080p/1440p laptops in this price range operate at 120-240Hz.

Graphics performance should be excellent thanks to the built-in Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU. This is the Max-Q version and is not as powerful as the regular or desktop versions of the 2070 due to its lower power requirements so that the laptop does not overheat (or need a larger fan/cooler). Still, some games can push out enough pixels to create a great gaming experience at native 4K resolution.
