If your hype for the PS5 Pro has been punctured by its high price ( $699.99 / £699.99 / AU$1,199), then check out some of these great Amazon Prime Day gaming laptop deals I've found, which will offer similar performance for around the same price.

There's the excellent MSI Katana 17 which is currently £854.05 (was £1,549) at Amazon - a huge price cut of 45%! There's also the Acer Nitro V 16 for £899.99 (was £1,199.

And when you factor in the fact that you need to buy a stand separately if you want to place the PS5 Pro vertically, the price difference isn't that large.

Plus, a laptop is a far more versatile bit of kit, so you can also use it to work on, and with a built-in screen, they are more portable as well. Of course, you can also hook them up to a big TV (check out our pick of the best Prime Day TV deals ) via HDMI if you want. With Sony (belatedly) porting most of its PS5 exclusive games to PC, you're not going to miss out on many must-play titles (as long as you don't mind waiting), and you can even connect a PS5 DualSense controller via USB cable and get all the fancy haptic feedback features as well.

The Intel Core i7 processor and 16GB of DDR5 RAM mean Windows 11 and its apps feel fast and responsive, and while the RTX 4050 isn't the most powerful GPU in the world, thanks to DLSS upscaling technology it can handle most modern games with ease.

What I really like about the two deals above is that they are great gaming laptops for sub £1,000 prices – something that can be all too rare. In fact, the prices aren't that much higher than a PS5 Pro, and they would arguably be a better long-term investment due to the flexibility that gaming laptops provide.
