Score the best Amazon Prime Day deals on prebuilt gaming PCs and laptops—featuring RTX 5090, 5080, and more. I've even found epic bargains outside of Amazon.

I've spent the last week going through pre-Prime Day and then Prime Day gaming PC deals and there have been some hits but plenty of misses. I've been keeping our full list of the best Prime Day gaming PC deals updated, but I know it can sometimes be hard to see the wood for the trees when there are multiple options for every budget.

But one way you can lighten the load is to just start with a gaming laptop, which packs in everything you need to get started in PC gaming without all the extra pieces. Of course, gaming laptops can be expensive, too, but plenty of budget options also exist.
