Black Friday is officially over – or is it? Those still trying to wrap up their seasonal shopping are in luck because there are still savings to be had. A good gaming laptop or gaming desktop makes the difference between smooth sailing (and possibly making it to the end of a Battle Royale unscathed) and a delayed mess. And good news: the dedicated GPU is also good for 3D rendering, running intensive programs like Photoshop, and editing other forms of media, so it’s worth the investment if you’re creative. The best part? There are some better setups on sale right now that will level up your game and/or creative package.
And don’t forget to check out the best Black Friday deals available right now.

If you have a slightly bigger budget, you can also grab a high-end car for a much more reasonable price; sometimes, those $1800 laptops with the best graphics chips capable of running the latest games at high settings come down to the $1500 range. That might tempt you enough to pull the trigger, and I’d say it’s a much better value-for-dollar proposition than full price.
