I review laptops for a living, so I'm always on the lookout for great deals on the best gaming laptops. I just found a sale on one of our favorite machines that's worth considering.
Right now, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2023) is on sale at Best Buy for $1,199. This gaming laptop normally costs $1,599, which means you're saving $400. While the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) is the latest model, last year's G16 still offers a great overall gaming experience.
This Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 features a 16-inch 1080p display with a 165Hz refresh rate. While a higher-resolution display would have been nicer, you'll still get a sharp enough image for gaming and work. The fast 165Hz refresh rate also ensures a smooth viewing and gaming experience.
In terms of specs, the 13th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU, and 16GB of RAM are more than enough to play the best PC games at high settings and equally high frame rates. This is especially true since the resolution tops out at 1080p and it doesn't have to struggle to maintain a consistent frame rate at 2K or 4K. Despite its older processor, the Zephyrus G16 won't disappoint in terms of performance.
This laptop is also ideal for everyday work, and not only because of its technical features. The spacious keyboard with its responsive and dynamic keys offers a pleasant typing experience. And although the Zephyrus G16 may display colors on its lid, the overall sober design does not immediately identify it as a gaming laptop. If you want to work in a café (or in the office), you will not be stared at.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus range has been and continues to be one of our favourites, making this laptop deal easy to recommend. I don't know how long this deal will last, so I'd advise you to take advantage of it now before it's too late.
