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

[u/Melmpje]

UPDATE — August 13, 2026

rgl.deals has grown a bit since I originally posted, so I wanted to give this post a 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.

Amazing website.

You’re still going to get flooded with “is this laptop worth it” posts tho lol

[u/Melmpje → u/spurvis1286]

Thanks we are taking steps to improve the quality of posts, you can already see this with posts with the Buying Advice flair.

This is really nice! Will definitely be a good resource both for buyers and for those who want to provide good recommendations here.

I like the overall aesthetics and the LocalStorage-only approach as well.

One quick note:

at least on my device/browser, it’s not super obvious how to navigate back to the main list from a laptop’s details screen.

I see that I can tap or swipe from above the laptop pictures to navigate back, or of course just hit the home button again.

Assuming it isn’t there already (and perhaps my device just isn’t showing it), I would suggest either a more obvious “X” or “Close” button on the laptop details screen, or implementing browser history state so the browser back buttons work.

(Using Safari on iOS 26.3.1)

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

Right now you can swipe down from the small bar above the laptop image to close the details view, so you stay on your previous results (filters/results).

That said, if it’s not immediately obvious, that’s on me I’ll add a clearer highlight and look into supporting the browser back button as well (probably just going to be a slide left/right to switch from option).

[u/WingZeroCoder → u/Melmpje]

That makes sense. It’s actually a very smooth and modern implementation once you know that’s the intended interaction.

I really like the design overall.

Any 12gb vram laptop in the uk deals?

[u/Significant_Youth963]

Took the quiz and absolutely nothing changed from what was already showing before the quiz. Didn't factor in the price range or anything 🤔

[u/Melmpje → u/Significant_Youth963]

Hi! it should be patched by now.

[u/PPYR0]

are there any plans to add support for other nations?
can't find any similar sites that do Oceania except for https://gaminglaptop.deals/australia/
I am unsure if its trustworthy.

[u/Melmpje → u/PPYR0]

Yup at a later date, that site is also good its ran by JarrodsTech.

Melmpje,  stuur me ff een pb als je wil, garantiekwestie met mn laptop, die ik destijds toen ik nog actief was hier heb gekregen van lenovo. Ik ben de naam kwijt van die kerel die we toen gesproken hebben. Hij had een reddit account. Weet jij nog wie dat was, thanks!

[u/Melmpje → u/TheDutchShepherd-]

Done

[u/MrGunny94]

[u/Melmpje → u/MrGunny94]

Canada & Mexico is coming soon, after that its the UK & EU.

[u/MrGunny94 → u/Melmpje]

Thanks for the reply :-) Looking forward to it

[u/speechlessPotato]

why is only 50 series shown for gpu?

[u/Impudent_Observer → u/speechlessPotato]

I am not endorsing the limit, but I can tell you that right now those are the best available gpus for intense gaming.

[u/speechlessPotato → u/Impudent_Observer]

The 3060 and 4060 still hold up good, I actually prefer them over the 5050 with "new gen features".

[u/Axxed_]

not enough laptops. there should be a shortlist and a larger list on a different page.

[u/Melmpje → u/Axxed_]

Thanks for the feedback, the site gets updated regularly each day thats why its also called "The Shortlist" its pretty much quality over quantity + everything gets manually checked every couple hours.
