Best Amazon Prime Day Deals on Gaming Laptops and Desktops

We won't sugar coat it: PC gaming is the most expensive way to play the latest games—period. At least shopping holidays, like Amazon Prime Day starting July 16 (that's today!), help dull the blow to your wallet. While we here at PCMag are trusted experts in reviewing gaming desktops and gaming laptops, we also have deep expertise in finding the best deals on those products regardless of whether a shopping holiday is on.

Since we review dozens of gaming laptops and desktops every year, we know which products provide the best value, with or without discounts, and not just the budget-priced models. Prime Day is a fine time to finally grab that pricier desktop rig or powerful laptop you've been eying all year, just as it's ideal for maximizing savings on those more approachable budget models. Here are the top Prime Day deals on gaming laptops and desktops.
