Best Buy's RTX 3060 gaming laptop deals are back at their lowest prices yet this week
Two great gaming laptop deals for two different budgets
If you're on the hunt for a premium gaming machine that's capable of serious frame rates but still want to save some bucks, then you'll be well served by a couple of RTX 3060 gaming laptop deals at Best Buy.
First up is this MSI GF65 for $999.99 (was $1,099.99) - a great bang-for-the-buck machine that's now returning to its lowest price yet. Alongside the previously mentioned RTX 3060, this one's also packing a 512GB SSD, Intel Core i5-10500H processor, and 8GB of RAM, making it a very capable mid-range machine indeed. While that Core i5 processor may be a turn-off for some (it's common to see Core i7 at this price), the 10500H is still an absolutely blazingly fast hex-core CPU that's only slightly behind a Core i7-10750h in terms of overall performance.
Speaking about performance, our second featured gaming laptop deal is this stunning Asus ROG Zephrys G14 for $1,449.99 (was $1,549.99) - quite possibly the ultimate back to school laptop for gamers going to college. This lightweight 14-inch machine is one of our favorites here at TechRadar with its classy aesthetic, incredibly lightweight build, and zero-compromise performance. This particular spec features an RTX 3060, Ryzen 9 5900HS processor, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD, making it a very capable machine for both gaming and heavy productivity.
While not exactly cheap, both these options are fantastic if you're looking for something that's capable of pushing great performance without paying the $1,500 to $2,000 you'd normally pay for an enthusiast-level machine. If you are on a budget, however, then we'd recommend checking out our main cheap gaming laptop deals page for some good sub $1,000 options too.

While you might balk at the idea of a Core i5 being paired with an RTX 3060, don't discount this one - it's still an exceptionally fast hex-core processor for gaming.
