From now until Sunday, Best Buy is offering this Asus TUF 15.6" RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $1,099.99 shipped after a $300 off instant discount. At this price point, most gaming laptops you'll find are equipped with a lower-end GPU like the RTX 4060 or 4050. Even better is the fact that the GPU has a 140W TGP rating (the max for the RTX 4070 mobile GPU); in layman terms, it can go head-to-head against other gaming laptops that cost hundreds of dollars more.
Asus TUF 16" RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop
The Asus TUF laptop features a 16" 1080p FHD 144Hz display, Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The 13th gen Intel Core i7-13620H has a max turbo frequency of 4.9GHz with 10 cores, 16 threads, and a 24MB cache. This is a lower voltage processor than the HX series, but it's still an excellent chip for gaming while sipping instead of guzzling power. This is a good option for a gaming laptop because you can then divert more power to the GPU, which is far more important for gaming performance.
Although the TUF is currently way less expensive than other RTX 4070 gaming laptops, it is equipped with a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with the maximum TGP wattage of 140W (115W + 25W dynamic) supplied to it. That is the same GPU configuration you'll find in something like an Alienware m16 or Lenovo Legion Pro laptop that would cost you hundreds more. Performance-wise, the RTX 4070 mobile is on par with the RTX 3080 but with support for newer features like DLSS 3.0. This is a powerful GPU that will be able to run any game at up to 144fps on the TUF's 1080p display.
The Asus TUF is also pretty thin and light for a gaming laptop, weighing in at 4.85 pounds and measuring 0.89" at its thinnest point. It also has plenty of current-gen ports, like Thunderbolt 4, USB Type-C 3.2 Gen 2, USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.1, and even a hard-wired ethernet port. It comes with a one-year Asus warranty.
