We see a lot of gaming laptop deals in our line of work. With PC graphics and performance evolving on a daily basis, there’s always new gaming tech on the horizon. If you’re the kind of enthusiast who takes power and accuracy very seriously, you’ll want to feast your eyes on the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 Gaming Laptop.

It’s an absolute workhorse of a gaming laptop, and for a limited time, Best Buy is selling it for $2,050 after a $250 discount. One of our favorite features of this Windows laptop is its Copilot+ compatibility (the feature goes live in late November 2024), a Windows AI suite that joins the ranks of popular tools like ChatGPT and Google AI.

Why you should buy the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16

The best gaming PCs are equipped to handle any challenge. Whether you’re playing a graphically demanding title like Alan Wake 2 or an NPC-filled dungeon crawler (Diablo IV anyone?), the Zephyrus G16 is equipped with some of the top PC internals, including an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX CPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage. Graphics are handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, which is one of the best GPUs for color rendering, ray tracing, and frame optimization.

The Zephyrus G16 has a 16-inch OLED ROG Nebula Display that delivers up to 2.5K resolution at 240Hz, along with 0.2ms response time and NVIDIA G-SYNC support for reduced stuttering and input lag. Stay ahead of the action and say goodbye to image ghosting and other frame-based maladies. We’re also glad to see Asus put a lot of thought into cooling, as the Zephyrus 16 uses Liquid Metal, 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans, and a Vapor Chamber to keep your internals from overheating.

Other great features include three months of Xbox Game Pass on the house, HDMI and USB connections, along with an SD card reader and a headphone jack. It’s hard to say how long laptop deals like this one will last, so it’s not a bad idea to act fast on this offer.

Save $250 when you purchase the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 Gaming Laptop at Best Buy, and be sure to check out some of the best gaming headset deals we’ve been finding.

We gave this Asus OLED laptop a four star review — it’s half off today

If you’re looking for a device we once described as a “powerful OLED laptop, done right,” you’re in luck. Among the many laptop deals happening at the moment, Amazon has reduced the price of the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop to $800 from $1,450. Yup, that’s very nearly 50% off with a huge $650 taken off the price. The laptop might be over two years old now, but it remains a great option, especially at this price. If you want to know more, we’re here to tell you all about it.

Why you should buy the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop
We reviewed the Asus VivoBook Pro 16X OLED laptop back in 2022, and the only real criticism we could come up with was its “boring design” and a “gimmicky” DialPad. Other than that, we loved that it “lasted over 16 hours on a single charge in our light web-browsing test” -- something which is impressive given its 16-inch OLED screen. As we’ve seen while analyzing OLED technology, the self-lit pixels that make the screen look so good use up a lot of power, which can be a problem for laptops. Not this one though. A sharper and better looking screen is great for watching movies on the move, but it’s also an all-round more pleasant experience while you work.

For one of the best gaming laptop deals of the week, head over to Best Buy. Today, you can buy an HP Victus 16 gaming laptop for $900 instead of $1,400. Being able to buy a laptop with such a huge screen for this price is pretty great. In the past, we’ve described the Victus range as a “new gaming brand [making] its mark” and this is a good example of what HP has accomplished in recent years. If you’re looking for a new gaming laptop, we think you’ll like this one. Read on while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Victus 16 gaming laptop
We reviewed a slightly different HP Victus 16 in 2022, but since then HP has gone from strength to strength. Crucially, the two models share a similar design. This HP Victus 16 also has a backlit keyboard with white lighting and it feels “great ... with deep travel and very snappy switches that provide excellent responsiveness for both gamers and productivity users.” It also has a larger touchpad, and the minimalist design looks eye catching with its V logo on the back.
