This is not a drill: Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024 falls on October 8-9 this year, which gives us less than 24 hours until the sale officially starts. Amazon opens its digital doors at 12:01 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, and then the sale runs through 12:00 a.m. PDT on Thursday morning. However, there are already deals on gaming laptops and desktops available for shoppers looking to get in on the action a little early.
This 15.6-inch budget gaming laptop will do a serviceable job with 1080p gaming. Wi-Fi 6 connectivity is fast and reliable, keeping you in the action even as matches heat up. The Acer Nitro V supports up to 32GB of RAM for those looking for more power to render or multitask.
If you need more gaming power under the hood, check out the Asus ROG Strix G16. The zippy 13th Gen Intel i7 CPU and RTX 4060 GPU will power through most modern titles without breaking a sweat and the 16-inch display is large enough to game without needing a secondary monitor.
In their review of a similar HP Omen 45L, our expert applauds the “outstanding performance and flexibility.” Customizable lighting and innovative cooling are geared towards gamers who play hard and want their desktop to look as good as it runs. A highly expandable internal configuration makes this a great tower to build upon as your gaming needs change.
