The cost of graphics cards is finally coming down, and a new range of Nvidia cards is on its way, which means it’s easier than ever to find a great deal on a decently powerful gaming laptop.

Case in point: right now, you can pick up the excellent Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 for an impressive £599.97 at electronics retailer Box – that’s a giant saving of £200.

Gaming laptops such as the Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 were among some of the most popular purchases during last week’s Prime Day sale event, and every year they’re some of the hottest tickets during Black Friday.

Even though it’s the most affordable card in the 30-series range, seeing an RTX 3050 gaming laptop drop below £600 is rare. Right now, this is the best deal you’ll find on any laptop packing one of the latest Nvidia graphics cards.
