If you're looking for a solid and affordable entry-level gaming laptop then I've picked out this Lenovo LOQ Gaming Laptop at Best Buy for $799.99 (was $999.99). The Lenovo LOQ 15 has had a couple of upgrades since the original launch.

That's because the HP Omen Transcend 14 is $1,299 @ Best Buy for a limited time, discounted from the usual $1,699 asking price. That's a substantial savings of $400 off this svelte and elegant gaming laptop, which has the added strength of looking like a low-key ultraportable when closed so you won't raise eyebrows at the coffee shop.

The MSI Thin GF63 gaming laptop with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card and 16GB of RAM is currently below $1,000 from Target following a $201 discount.

Amazon is offering a tremendous discount on an Asus gaming laptop with Intel Core i7 and Nvidia RTX 4060, amounting to $230 savings.

Of course, the big question with this particular deal is - will it get any cheaper over the Black Friday deals event in November? There's always a possibility, but I think there's also the potential for this particular listing to sell out well ahead of November.
