Don't wait for Black Friday - the time to buy this RTX 4070 gaming laptop is now
If you're looking for a powerful gaming laptop on a decent budget, I highly recommend checking out the Asus Zephyrus G16 on sale for $1,199 (was $1,599) at Best Buy.
With a massive $400 discount, this is currently one of the cheapest gaming laptops on the market to feature a speedy RTX 4070 graphics card - something that will pair exceptionally well with the 13th Core i7 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD this machine also features. For the price, this one is a great performer, although there are other reasons to consider picking up the G16.
The G16 features an exceptionally thin and stylish design that's more akin to super high-end machines than models at this price point. It's a great choice if you want something that melds powerful components with a portable form factor.

Of course, the big question with this particular deal is - will it get any cheaper over the Black Friday deals event in November? There's always a possibility, but I think there's also the potential for this particular listing to sell out well ahead of November.Â
This deal is on the slightly older 2023 model and not the latest 2024 configuration with an Ultra 9 chipset, so it could potentially get harder to pick up as Best Buy clears out its old stock. Of course, we'll have plenty more gaming laptop deals later in the year, so it's not a bad idea to wait all around if you're still on the fence.
