The highest-ranked gaming laptop under £1,200 at the UK shops we track is the MEDION Erazer Deputy 15 with an RTX 5060 (GPU estimate ~98) at £995.00 from Box. 31 gaming laptops fit this budget.
New laptops only, UK shops only; listings a shop marks as pre-order or unavailable are skipped; prices we can't check are marked "stock not checked". Ranked by SpecPrice's laptop GPU estimate ("~", relative 1440p raster, desktop RTX 4060 = 100) at the TGP the shop lists, or the GPU's typical TGP when it doesn't; when two tie, the cheaper one ranks first, then our CPU estimate (read from the title). Estimates compiled 2026-10-18 from published laptop reviews; treat them as ±15%. We may earn a commission from shop links; it never changes the order.
