Upgrading your gaming laptop can be an expensive proposition. With a gaming PC, you have save money by going the DIY route or you can just upgrade specific components instead of replacing the entire desktop. Also, since the monitor is not a part of the system, you can keep using it for future builds. You can't afford such luxuries with a laptop. You'd essentially have to buy an entire new system every time. Fortunately, laptop prices have dropped tremendously over the years. Where before you would expect to pay at least over $1,000 for a decent gaming laptop, nowadays you could get one for $600 or less. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't save even more.

Cyber Monday sales have started, and this is your best chance to invest in a gaming laptop at a great price. Several deals went live today from Best Buy, Walmart, Alienware, HP, Amazon, and Lenovo as well as some deals that carried over from Black Friday. A few more deals may crop up tomorrow and I'll be sure to add those as well.2.
