It's Amazon Gaming Week and that means cheap gaming laptop deals are up for grabs. Now when I say cheap, I'm talking about sub-$700 gaming-specific machines that don't skimp on performance.

So if you've been hesitant about buying a gaming laptop due to price, I'm handing you a golden ticket to savings. Amazon Gaming Week features solid discounts on top-rated AMD and Intel-powered gaming laptops.

As a casual gamer who is also frugal at heart, I know all too well how expensive a hobby gaming can be. That's why I'm putting you on to Amazon's mega weeklong gaming sale.

Whether you're a beginner gamer, upgrading your old rig, or want a laptop for graphics-demanding tasks, you don't have to spend a fortune.

For example, you can get the Acer Nitro V for just $699 ($150 off) at Amazon right now — its lowest price ever! That's $50 less than it was on Monday when Amazon Gaming Week started. In the words of Fat Joe, "Yesterday's price is not today's price."

Rivaling Dell, Acer's Nitro V is a formidable contender in the category of budget gaming laptops.

In our Acer Nitro V review, we gave it 3 out of 5 stars for its solid performance and decent battery life. Although we wish its display was a bit brighter, the Nitro V is a wise choice if you prioritize performance and reliability.

And that's just one of my favorite bargains from Amazon's ongoing gaming sale. Browse the five gaming laptop deals under $700 that I recommend from Amazon Gaming Week.
