We've seen our first glimpse of RTX 50-series laptop prices, and there are a few things to keep in mind while shopping around.

The list price on this 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 is $1,600, but Best Buy’s sale brings it down to $1,100. High-end gaming laptops aren’t the fastest movers in the market, so this price might stick around. Still, if you’re hot on it, do grab it while you can.

Case in point: The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with RTX 4070 is on sale for $1,749 at Best Buy. That knocks $250 off the usual $2,000 asking price, making this a great deal on a killer OLED gaming laptop that will last you for years to come.

Well lather me up and call me a belated Christmas turkey, there might—might—be some hope left for reasonably priced gaming PC in this RTX 50-series generation. Assuming, that is, some of the first prices for RTX 50-series laptops are anything to go by.

Acer’s Helios laptops are gaming designs in the classic sense: big, chunky, and chock-full of high-power parts. The newest models of the Predator Helios Neo AI line don’t break with that tradition, upgrading to the latest Intel processors and newest Nvidia graphics cards.
