Stop scrolling: This is the cheapest RTX 5060 gaming laptop deal you'll see today
Next-gen budget gaming is here, and it looks like RTX 5060 gaming laptops are getting the discount treatment these days. Last week, I found an HP Omen 16 rocking Nvidia's latest GPU in one of the cheapest deals I've seen, but this new Alienware machine is now even more affordable. This Alienware 16 Aurora with an RTX 5060 is now $280 off at Best Buy, taking it down to a new low $1,219. Not only is that a better deal than Alienware's own website, it's also the most affordable price I've seen on an RTX 5060 gaming laptop so far. Oh, and it packs a punch. From its latest Intel Core 7 240H CPU to its 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD, this is a gaming laptop that can take you far for entry-level gaming. For its cut-down price, there's a lot of value you can get out of Alienware's latest. This Alienware 16 Aurora is now down by $280, meaning you can save big on Nvidia's latest offering of gaming performance. Along with its RTX 5060 GPU, expect an Intel Core 7 240H CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB for storage and a 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Alienware's new Aurora gaming laptops only launched in May, but its Aurora 16 with an RTX 5060 is already at a stellar discount. We've gamed on RTX 5060 gaming laptops before, and there's mighty performance gains to get thanks to Nvidia's DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen tech onboard. But this Alienware 16 Aurora comes equipped with other spicy specs, including an Intel Core 7 240H (series 2) CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM to blaze through the games and productivity tasks you throw at it and a sizeable 1TB SSD. Plus, this is a 16-inch gaming laptop, after all, so you can expect smooth, detailed visuals on its 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) LED display. I know, 120Hz may fall a little short in terms of the gaming laptop displays we see these days, but that's still smooth enough for fast-paced competitive gameplay and many demanding single-player titles. The latest Aurora lineup features a change in Alienware's laptop offerings, introducing a new design with a cooler on the bottom that sucks cool air in from under the laptop and pushes it from the back and sides. That makes for a slimmer, less bulky looking gaming laptop that it's to take on the move. So, what kind of performance can you expect? Here's a brief look at an RTX 5060's gaming chops in a laptop. Not bad for considering those settings in Cyberpunk 2077 are cranked up. But even better when this Alienware Aurora is now down to $1,219. To put that into perspective, there are RTX 4060 gaming laptops that are priced even higher, including this Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $1,599 and Lenovo Legion 7i for $1,699. If you're looking for a more affordable gaming laptop upgrade, especially over an RTX 30-series system, then this Alienware 16 Aurora is a good shout now that it's $280 off. Oh, and while there is this HP Victus 16 with an RTX 5060 that's down to $1,099, it's not available just yet (and it comes with 16GB of RAM instead of the Aurora's 32GB). Although, that's also one to keep an eye on. For even more fantastic price cuts, check out these early Amazon Prime Day deals worth saving on.

Score! RTX 5060-equipped HP Omen 16 is at its lowest ever price — $300 off for a limited time
Nvidia RTX 50-series gaming laptops are well and truly here, and PC gaming has never looked finer. But as with every new arrival, these machines don't come cheap — or so I thought until I stumbled upon this RTX 5060-powered laptop now on sale. You can now grab this HP Omen 16 with an RTX 5060 for $300 off at Best Buy, taking it down to $1,279. Now, I've been crawling through gaming laptop with Nvidia's latest GPU ever since they launched, and prices have been well over the $1,500 mark. Just look at other RTX 5060 gaming laptops like this $1,799 Asus ROG Strix G16 and $1,659 Lenovo Legion Pro 5. That makes this epic deal a steal, and considering the HP Omen 16 also boasts an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD, you're getting next-gen PC gaming with a boatload of value. This HP Omen 16 with an Nvidia GeForece RTX 5060 GPU is now one of the cheapest RTX 50-series gaming laptops I've seen, all thanks to that $300 price cut. It packs some powerful specs, too, with its AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB for storage. Throw in its 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) display with 144Hz refresh rate, and you're looking at entry-level gaming laptop that packs a punch. I got the chance to play games on an RTX 5060 gaming laptop, and was majorly impressed by the performance it was able to push out despite the 8GB GDDR7 video memory it has on board. Much of that has to do with Nvidia's DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation tech, and it makes an entry-level, more budget-friendly machine become more of a gaming powerhouse. As noted above, though, the launch of RTX 5060 gaming laptops have seen less-than-wallet-friendly prices. But the HP Omen 16 in this deal finally makes these machines worthwhile — especially if you're looking to upgrade from an RTX 30-series rig or its you're first gaming laptop. Just check out the benchmarks below to see the gaming performance jump you can expect. Even in games like Cyberpunk 2077 at 1200p with high settings, the RTX 5060 could reach over 190 FPS with DLSS 4 multi-frame gen x4. We've seen how the HP Omen Max 16 handles and stated it's one of the finest gaming laptops we've tested, and the more affordable HP Omen 16 looks to be no different with its similar design but with parred down specs. Having the latest AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX CPU will power through demanding tasks and multi-tasking, and offering 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB SSD promises speedy performance for productivity and, of course, gaming. Plus, the 16-inch 2K (1920 x 1200) display with 144Hz refresh rate is great for graphically-intense PC titles and fast-paced multiplayer games. Don't expect the monster gaming performance of an RTX 5090, but do expect quality visuals and high frame rates (thanks to Nvidia's AI boosts) at a more affordable price range for a gaming laptop. If this all sounds right up your alley, don't miss out on saving $300 on the HP Omen 16. That isn't the only machine getting a major discount, as you can also get up to $500 off these RTX 50-series OLED gaming laptops, too.
