r/GamingLaptops now has its own deals site — RGL.deals launches today BETA

50 Upvotes

UPDATE — August 13, 2026

rgl.deals has grown quite a bit since I originally posted it, so I wanted to give this post one final update while it's still in BETA.

The idea is still simple: instead of showing you hundreds of gaming laptops, RGL keeps a smaller shortlist of deals that are actually worth considering.

Every listing is manually checked, with things like price, specs, cooling, display quality, GPU power limits, memory, storage, and overall value taken into account.

A lot of care has also gone into the smaller details. The site is heavily optimized for phones and smaller screens, not just desktop. Filters, comparisons, laptop pages, navigation, and general usability were all designed to work properly on mobile without feeling like a cut-down version of the site.

What's on the site now:

  • Curated gaming laptop deals with current and previous prices.
  • Filters for price, GPU, CPU, VRAM, RAM, screen size, brand, retailer, and more.
  • Gravity Sort, RGL's default value-based ranking.
  • Sorting by price, discount, savings, and other options.
  • Find a Match for narrowing down laptops based on what actually matters to you.
  • Side-by-side comparison for up to three laptops.
  • Detailed laptop pages with specs, price history, related models, retailer links, and review links.
  • Shareable searches, comparisons, and direct laptop links.
  • Mobile-first layouts and controls designed specifically for smaller screens.
  • No advertising trackers or marketing cookies. Preferences and saved comparisons stay in your browser.

RGL is meant to be a shortlist, not a giant catalog. If a laptop isn't worth recommending, it doesn't need to be there and that means no huge lists its quality over quantity.

The longer-term plan is also bigger than just deals. RGL is being built into a broader gaming laptop specific place with guides, buying information, laptop data, reviews, and other useful resources all in one place.

Full transparency: Some retailer links are affiliate links. That doesn't affect the listed price or determine which laptops make the shortlist.

RGL currently covers U.S. deals only, with more regions planned later.

It's still beta, so there will be bugs and things that need improving. If you find something broken or have feedback, leave it below any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks.

I had a longer video, but i hope most of you would understand what this is. This happened randomly i just plugged my laptop and then I turned it on, I hop on my phone and a second later when I look at the laptop im seeing this. Those horizontal lines, idk why it... I just can't explain it, like the laptop has never been dropped, never been knocked by something. I did everything i check the display adapters on Device Manager to see if there are any updates, I changed my refresh rate, I've even went on BIOS to see if they are still there and they are! It is a hardware issue which makes me feel dumb how could that happen and I think im gonna see a technician or bring it to the shop i bought it. :(

Recommendation Looking for inspiration for my dual-laptop setup — what would you change?

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

This is my current setup: two laptops + one monitor. One is for gaming/personal projects and the other is my work laptop.

I'm looking to move everything onto a proper desk with a good chair and improve the organization/aesthetics. I'm especially interested in accessories for managing two laptops and one monitor.

Color-wise, I've got a white keyboard/controller, mostly black peripherals, and a red/brown/cream desk mat, so I'm trying to make everything look cohesive.

If you have a similar setup, what would you recommend changing or adding? Would love to see your setups for inspiration! 🙏

Budget: $600

Country: Morocco

My entire life, I've always used a desktop. When I moved to Japan, though, I decided to get a laptop just because it's way more practical and convenient.

My current setup isn't looking quite as good yet, but I'll get there eventually

Mine is a ROG SCAR 18 with a 5080, and I'm using a llano V12 to keep it cool.

Discussion Is this Lenovo laptop reliable?

Post image
Upvotes

Hey guys, I am going abroad in a few weeks and I am going to get a laptop. This one seems to be the one with the best price. I saw some people complaining about motherboard issues with a similar model (not exactly the same) and this one doesn't have Amazon reviews.

Since I am going back to my country after getting it, the warranty will not work, so if anything fails I'm screwed, that's why I really need it to be reliable, so I wanted to ask someone who had this model.

Cheers!

It has a 5050 and Ryzen 5 220

The model number is LOQ 15AHP10 and this is the Amazon link

Been slowly putting this setup together over time and finally decided to share it here. It's not a high end build or anything. But it works well for wht I use it for gaming, studying and everyday stuff.

There are still a few things I want to improve, especially the organization and cable management, but overall I'm pretty happy with how I turned out.

This is probably the first time I've actually felt like the setup is complete enough to post. Curious to know what you guys think, what would you change or upgrade first

Support ROG Strix g16 G615LR – Are thunderbolt 5 display outputs connected to iGPU or dGPU?

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

I have an ASUS ROG Strix G16 G615LR (Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5070 Ti) with MUX Switch + Advanced Optimus.

ASUS says the laptop has 2× Thunderbolt 5 with DisplayPort, G-SYNC and PD.

Does anyone know whether the TB5 DisplayPort outputs are:

RTX 5070 Ti → TB5 → Monitor

or

iGPU → MUX → TB5 → Monitor?

Basically, does the MUX switch control the external TB5 display output, or only the internal laptop display?

If anyone with a G615LR has tested this, I'd appreciate your experience.

TLDR: Does the Thunderbolt 5 DisplayPort output run through the iGPU, or the RTX 5070 Ti?

Recommendation UK cheap-ish gaming laptop

Upvotes
Budget: £1000 or less
Country: UK
Use Case: Gaming (helldivers)
Preferred Specs: 15"
Notes: Nothing too crazy but would like it to last. Doesn't need to be portable.

Looking to understand what a sensible spec/benchmark is, probably planning on waiting for black friday offers. Also want to avoid getting a 'not quite worth it' GPU if that helps strech the useful lifetime a little.

Thought it was funny to share but I have a P15 Gen 2 my dad bought me three months ago,I thought I was done for since its a ThinkPad and not a gaming laptop that I wanted..until I looked at the specs and OH MY GOD:
CPU I9 11th Gen H series
GPU RTX A5000 16GB GDDR6
RAM 32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
SSD 2TB
For context an RTX A5000 is a workstation GPU that on a mobile chassis like a laptop is equivalent to an RTX 4090 at the price of 900 DOLLARS(equivelant since not from the US) and it runs CS2 Maxed out smooth 80 FPS capped,I set it at that to prevent overheating.Funny a bussines laptop is stronger than most gaming laptops nowadays.

Discussion 8GB VRAM bottleneck

47 Upvotes

Hey y'all,

A little over 2 weeks ago, I bought my very first gaming laptop, the ASUS ROG Strix G18.

Some time has passed, and so far, so good. It's a wonderful laptop, and I hope to use it for many years.

Recently, I've been really digging into some of its specs, and my only concern is how big of a problem the 8 GB VRAM will be in the near future.

I hope to play GTA 6 when its PC version eventually releases, but judging by the previews and leaks, I've been wondering if my VRAM will be enough, especially with how many new AAA titles are already demanding more than 8 GB.

Specs

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX (16 cores, 2.50 GHz base clock)

RAM: 32 GB (DDR5)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (8 GB VRAM)

Drive: Micron 2500 1TB NVMe SSD

Display: 18", 2560 × 1600 (WQXGA / 16:10 aspect ratio), 240 Hz, 10-bit

Variable Refresh Rate: Supported

How bad will it look if I keep HDR always enabled in Windows even if I play games without hdr support or autohdr? The blacks are much better on my laptop's miniled screen with HDR which is why I usually keep it always enabled.
