After extensive testing of various gaming laptops this year, I confidently present my recommendations for the best RTX 5080 gaming laptops available this Black Friday.

Quick List

• HP Omen Max 16: $1,825 (save $1,475)
• MSI Vector 16 HX AI: $1,900 (save $300)
• Lenovo Legion Pro 7i: $2,299 (save $1,200)

This year has seen a vast range of laptops hitting the market, and I’ve sampled many, with a strong focus on those equipped with the RTX 5080. While the RTX 5090 holds a slight edge in performance, its prices put it out of reach for many buyers. Most will find the RTX 5080 offers remarkable value and performance, making it the best gaming laptop for the upcoming Black Friday sales.

For those purely seeking the best gaming experience, look for the following models during these sales: HP Omen Max 16, MSI Vector 16 HX AI, and Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, all of which have received excellent feedback for their capabilities.
