I've been looking for gaming laptop deals in the big spring sales this week, and now is the perfect time to pick up an RTX 4070 gaming laptop.

Not only do Amazon, Best Buy, and other leading retailers have big spring sales to check out this week, but the upcoming advent of RTX 5000 series gaming laptops has meant great clearance deals on older models.

For example, you can currently pick up an RTX 4070 gaming laptop for just $899 (was $1,499) at Best Buy. Sure, the HP Victus featured here isn't the highest-end model around, but it's not every day you see a machine with an RTX 4070 for under $900. That's usually the price you'd spend on a lesser RTX 4060-equipped configuration, so this machine is great bang for the buck with its RTX 4070 and Ryzen 7 chipset.

If you want to go up-market, then there are some really superb discounts elsewhere also. One of my favorites is this Dell G16 on sale for $1,299 (was $1,699) at the official Dell store. It's obviously a lot more expensive than the HP just mentioned, but this machine features a significantly more powerful 14th-gen Core i9 chipset, 32GB of RAM, and a much higher-end 1600p 240Hz display. Another great choice is the Lenovo Legion 5i at Amazon for $1,399 (was $1,599), which I've laid out in detail below.

Today's best RTX 4070 gaming laptop deals

In case you missed it last time - here's another shot at scoring one of the cheapest RTX 4070 gaming laptop deals I've ever seen at Best Buy. While this HP Victus won't win any awards for its design, storage, or display, the combination of an RTX 4070 graphics card and Ryzen 7 chipset makes this one a potent performer for the money. Want smooth frame rates on a budget? This is a superb choice right now.

You get a powerful RTX 4070 graphics card alongside 32GB of RAM and a Core i9 chipset for a fair price with Amazon's deal on the Lenovo Legion 5i today. By all accounts, if you're looking for a powerful gaming laptop then this is a superb choice only let down by its small storage drive and the fact that other retailers have some really incredible deals also up for grabs today.
