With Prime Big Deal Days entering its final day as of October 11th, it's time to take a final look at some of the best gaming and office laptop deals available. With new CPUs and GPUs offering some cool new abilities, like frame generation and AI acceleration, these new machines can deliver high frame-rates than ever before - and recent upgrades to displays means even affordable laptops now offer high-res screens with high refresh rates.

No matter whether you're after a hardcore gaming machine that you can barely lift or a svelte office machine that you can barely feel - or perhaps something in the middle? - we have you covered with a selection of deals until things end at midnight tonight.

We've divided this section in a straightforward manner: gaming laptops with discrete graphics cards are in one category, while office laptops with integrated graphics are in another. As usual, we've got both UK and US listings too.

Gaming laptops are distinguished by their discrete graphics cards, but high-end creator-focused machines are effectively the same - as video editing and other tasks often employ GPU acceleration too. Regardless, there's a huge range here, from entry-level options around half a grand to premium models that cost well into four figures.

Office laptops tend to offer a more conventional appearance and aim for portability over power, but they still can be capable machines that deliver enough grunt for programming, image editing and more. Here, we're using the lack of a discrete graphics card as the distinguishing factor, so check the first section if your work would benefit from GPU acceleration.
