Fight me- 14-inch is peak gaming laptop and these are the only Prime Day gaming laptop deals I’d personally consider buying today-

I’ll be honest, Best Buy has kinda broken my heart. Just a few days ago it had the mother of all 14-inch gaming laptop deals, with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 OLED—our absolute favorite compact gaming laptop—on sale for just $1,100. Sadly, by Monday the Zephyrus G14 was back up to $1,600. That’s still not bad for such a gorgeous gaming laptop, one with a full unibody aluminum chassis, great performance, and striking looks. But it’s not great.

What is pretty great, however, is the number of other 14-inch Prime Day gaming laptop deals there are. The compact gaming laptop is the ultimate portable notebook that will still deliver high-end frame rates, and without any truly tangible downsides.

And, for me, the 14-inch laptop is realistically the only form factor that I would reasonably consider purchasing. Well, unless I was genuinely looking for a desktop replacement with a hoofing big 18-inch screen anyways. 

These are the pick of the lot, and while the Asus G14 isn’t on the receiving end of a big discount anymore, it’s still an absolutely worthwhile purchase. The $1,150 Acer Predator 14, however, is arguably the best deal of the lot if you’re just after raw performance, containing as it does the RTX 4070 GPU. 

But, the one I would actually buy? Well, that would be the $1,280 HP Omen Transcend 14. It’s not the most powerful, or the cheapest, but that chassis is lovely, and the OLED screen just a delight. A genuinely portable gaming laptop, with a great aesthetic. In my time reviewing it, I did fall a little bit in love.

There’s also the Razer Blade 14, which I do still have a soft spot for… but even with a hefty discount it’s $2,000 for an RTX 4060 Blade 14 gaming laptop, and that is honestly very, very hard to recommend over any of the others.
