While Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards for a DIY desktop are hard to find and often selling for sky-high prices when you do locate them in stock, getting the latest RTX GPU in mobile form is an easier proposition. Not only will you find laptops with the latest RTX graphics processors in abundance, but you’ll also encounter many on sale.
Amazon, Best Buy and Newegg have the best prices on gaming laptops right now. For bargain hunters, the Acer Nitro 5, currently discounted at Amazon for only $660, provides the most affordable pathway to a laptop based on a GPU from Nvidia’s RTX 30 series. And check out the pair of HP Omen 16 models on sale at Best Buy, one with RTX 3060 graphics and the other with RTX 3070 — both feature a roomy 16.1-inch display and both are great deals at their current sale price.

Acer’s Nitro 5 has long been a popular pick for gamers on tight budgets. This model is discounted on Amazon by a substaintial $180 and features GeForce RTX 3050 graphics alongside midrange components: a Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid-state drive. The 15.6-inch display has full HD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. This is about as inexpensive as you’ll find a gaming laptop with a GPU from Nvidia’s current RTX 30 series.

Lenovo
This 15-inch budget gaming laptop features AMD’s stellar, eight-core Ryzen 7 5800H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics. The biggest downside is getting only 8GB of RAM — we would have liked to see 16GB, which would go a long way to improving overall performance.
