I've left my fingerprints on each of these RTX 5080 gaming laptops, and I think they're the best Black Friday has to offer

Having spent a lot of time testing gaming laptops this year, I can vouch for these picks.

Our best high-performance gaming laptop pick features a monstrous collection of components, and this is the cheapest I can find it for in full game-crunching trim. The RTX 5080 is a full-strength 175 W variant, the panel is a 240 Hz OLED stunner, the Intel CPU is mega, and as I found in my review, the gaming performance is simply excellent. It's one of the fastest laptops we've tested to date, yet comes wrapped in a chassis you'd actually want to show off—although it must be said, it's a pretty sizeable machine to lug around if you plan on taking it on your travels.

At nearly $500 more than the HP Omen Max 16 above, it's hard to be all-in on the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, but I still love the machine and, more importantly, the honestly incredible software it packs.

Parking that for a second, the Legion Pro 7i comes with an utterly glorious OLED display, and the thing delivers the absolute peak performance of all our gaming laptop picks. But the LegionSpace software is what really makes the experience; it's just so damned good, and so PC gaming.

I've never seen another laptop configuration app that gives you so much control over the power and performance of both the CPU and GPU as Lenovo does. It's almost like it trusts its customers. With the software, you're able to dial back the CPU power to the point where the fans calm down, while still delivering peak gaming performance because the GPU is still flying.

It means you get a relatively quiet gaming laptop that still gives great game.
